‘On The Road’ Across America with Alamo

September 3, 2010 Car No Comments

America has long had a love-affair with its open roads. Ever since Route 66 first linked Chicago to LA nearly 85 years ago, car aficionados have journeyed across the country, enjoying the freedom and diversity that only its back roads and interlinking highways can bring.

Today, very little has changed. Weaving through endless small towns, villages and major cities, America’s highways and freeways additionally connects travellers with the country’s national parks, the lofty peaks of the American Rockies, the craggy West Coast, the parched Southwest canyons, the bayous and lazy rivers of the Deep South as well as the Blue Ridge Mountains and New England.

With many more experiences waiting to be unveiled Alamo Rent A Car is inviting past travellers, as well as the ‘next-generation’ of road enthusiasts, to enjoy the splendour of America, ‘on the road’.

“For people who love to drive, there’s no better way to view America than by road with Alamo,” says Ms. Kylee Kay, Managing Director of Momento Travel Services, which represents Alamo Rent A Car in Australia.

With more than 280 rental locations found throughout the USA including Hawaii, travellers can choose from a variety of cars in every category – compact, midsized, full-sized, premium and luxury. There are also convertibles, SUVs and hybrid cars for those who wish to enjoy a different driving experience.

From 1 September, 2010, to 15 December, 2010, travellers can take advantage of Alamo’s Low Season.

OTHER OPTIONS:

“Another aspect of Alamo’s customer service delivery is its desire to provide renters with a number of flexible rental options where dollars are saved and drivers are provided with an array of specialised services,” adds Ms. Kay.

No longer are you restricted when you want to pick up your car in one U.S. city and drop off your car in another. One way rentals are permitted with prior confirmation (except in the compact category) for a nominal cost. However in the gateway locations, all intercity fees are wavered. This includes point to point rental within the state of Florida and New York, California to Seattle, Washington, and within the tri-state region of California, Arizona and Nevada.

Alamo Rent A Car offers portable GPS units at many locations, priced at US $11.99 per day or US $69.95 per week upon request and availability at the time of rental.

Upon request, infant seats for babies and toddlers, aged from six months to two years are available and are priced at US $6.99 per day. The seats must be requested at the time of making the reservation. Ski racks are also available at select locations for a nominal cost upon request.
