Alamo Intermediate SUV
About to book our hire car with Alamo Brits and noticed that the example given for Intermediate SUV has changed from Toyota Rav 4 or similar to Nissan Rogue or similar. We have had Rav 4s the past two times which have been great. We tried to get our luggage in a Nissan Rogue but it would not fit. Does anyone have an up-to-date list of vehicles used by Alamo for this size? I want to check if Rav 4 is still being used as we may need to go for a larger size.

With Alamo you get to choose from a row of cars, so you can pick the model you want that suits. Often there are larger categories of vehicle in the same row.
In May we had booked a similar sized car and ended up with a 7 seat Chevy Traverse. Photos on the sticky above. |

OP. This is the Alamo fleet for that size. Most won't be in the line, some are never in the line. It's pot luck what is available.
Always worth asking if you fancy something they haven't got, well worth a tip.

I'm currently in the same position. We have a RAV4 class booked with Alamo via virgin holidays and I'm not sure it will fit 2 adults and 2 kids with the luggage (four cases plus hand luggage) I've asked VH about upgrading the car before I go but the price seemed a bit expensive when others say you will prob get the next class anyway as they are in the line when you pick your car. I'm sure I've heard it's cheaper to upgrade over here before you get there so will ask VH again as it was a couple of months ago incase it's come down in price because the list tommorrow just listed has me more worried about the size of the class
I keep us informed how you get on |

Looks like a few of us are going around the same time! 101 days for me! I never driven an SUV before! Hope they are not too big! Edited at 11:20 AM. |

Cheers for this info I'm so confused what to do. Part of me thinks I should upgrade over here and part of me thinks wait and see what's in the line up. Out of intreast does anyone know rough guess how much more it would be to upgrade Over there on the day virgin holidays quoted £140 to go from intermediate to standard in the past I would always go the desk and then get sold a upgrade it's only since finding the DIBB I've learnt about skip counter and heard I may have been paying too much for upgrade due to the staff working on commission
I wouldn't be too worried about this size SUV there no bigger to what cars we have in the uk. The full size SUV are different altogether they make the Audi Q7 over here look small yeah look like we're all there same time May is always a nice time to go. Hope we all have a great time over there. Edited at 11:50 AM. |

But this could backfire and they can't or won't help you. However I would chance it but only if you would be ok with what you booked, if adamant you want a bigger SUV I would upgrade from the UK.
