Nunu Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 Bid on a full sized car for our Christmas trip to Las Vegas. Got $21 on first bid so I was pleased with that rate. Total for 7 days with taxes and fees= $223.57 vs. Alamo's site at $280.19. We've used Alamo in Vegas before, nice system where you walk out to the full sized rows of cars, and pick what you like. Keys are in trunk so it makes it easy. Link to comment
