Hello everyone- WOw am I out of the loop! So we have never rented a car before to go to Disney but are this time (in a week from now). We booked a Fullsize car with the AP discount...great! I now stumble onto this thread and am majorly confused- you can actually see and choose which car you get???? How do you do this? Should I have booked a lower class? Sorry for all the questions but i just thought I get a Ford fusion or similar- not that we may be able to choose something upon arrival!! What are these isles you speak of?? How does this work?? THank you!!!
The way it works goes something like this: You can save some time and trouble by signing up for Alamo Insiders on their website (its free), then see if you can attach it to your reservation. (If doing that jacks up the price of the reservation, don't bother). Outside of that, before you go, there should be a place to do an online checkin on alamo.com. Do that... Then you'll see a 'Skip the counter' procedure. Do that also. When you're done with that, you'll print out a paper with a bar code. Bring that with you. (This page explains it better: https://www.alamo.com/en_US/car-rental/checkin.html )
When you arrive at Orlando, go downstairs to the rental car level, but you won't need to stop at the counter in the terminal. Instead, head outside and across the bus lane to the rental car garage. There will probably be someone to greet you and they'll let you know where the Standard/Full size aisle is. You can pick any car in that row, throw your luggage in and you're off. When you get to the exit gate, you'll need to give the paper with the bar code, your driver's license and credit card to the attendant.
Before you go, you also can keep checking to see if the price drops. You didn't need to reserve a full size. Since Standard and Full size are in the same aisle, if Standard at the current rate is less expensive, take it, then cancel your original reservation. If you'd rather change to a different class altogether, you also have that option.
you are amazing! This is perfect and easy to understand! I do have a few other questions- the no show/cancellation policy- what is it? I have no credit card on file, just my email. What happens to those who no show or cancel at the expected time of rental pickup? Also, how are the isles labeled (which car classes are together)? Full/standard, conomy/compact, etc? And lastly, what is the policy if we are late dropping off the car from the expected time? Thank you again for this!!
I just booked a truck to. But there is 5 of us. Wonder what we will get.Currently my lest expensive reservation with Alamo is for a truck. What can I expect there?

Please keep us posted on what you get!Also booked a truck! Impatiently waiting for March 12 to find out! I’m hoping the pickups share an aisle with large suvs (Tahoe, Yukon).. That’s my preference but for the price, we went with the pick up.
Will do!Please keep us posted on what you get!
What vehicle did you end up getting?Hello everyone!! I just wanted to report back! We booked Alamo in a standard car. When we arrived at MCO, we followed everyone directions PERFECTLY and they were perfect!! Thank you! The only thing was, there WAS a standard separate from a fullsize isle! I was very surprised at this because I thought if you book standard that it was combined with full. Other than that, all other info was spot on! We had a super easy time getting into a car, paying, leaving, returning, everything! Will not hesitate to do this again! Thanks again every0one for your help!!
