The discount grade varies
depending on countries and conditions but we are happy to tell it can go
as high as 30% for car rental in the US. I can tell that is major
after having worked a number of years in the travel business myself.
I believe it will make a difference for our
European teams as many of them are frequent travellers to the US. For
Europe a bit lower discounts but I should hope enough to make a
difference and wortwhile seeking to book Alamo Rent A
Car as a first alternative.

Speedgroup co-ordinator Åsa Kinnemar tells;
When we started discussing it a few months back, myself and Andy Wheeler, it felt like a natural choice to initiate a co-operation to create value for the teams/drivers and riders that Speedgroup work with within the FIA & UEM Championships and also within the two recently acquired sportman series NDRS and SDL.
It took a while to get all technicalities sorted but we have got the word from Alamo that it is all done now and that the Alamo reservation system is setup to accept our contract code.

HISTORY ALAMO RENT A CAR:
|
Alamo Rent A Car started in 1974 with four locations in Florida, pioneering the concept of Unlimited Free Mileage. Immediately carving its niche in the leisure car rental industry, Alamo Rent A Car focused its mission on providing a low-cost, high-value rental experience to family and leisure travelers. Alamo Rent A Car quickly became one of the country's largest holiday rental providers with products to accommodate and encourage leisure travel. To facilitate the increase in leisure travelers, Alamo Rent A Car constructed state-of-the art rental plazas geared to serve hundreds of customers per hour in a modern, ultra-spacious environment. In 1985, Alamo Rent A Car introduced a new customized rental agreement the size of an airline ticket, and Instant Alamo Rent A Car, a program that stored a traveler's individual rental information for instant reference. To meet the needs of the "Web" consumer, Alamo Rent A Car became the first car rental company with real-time booking capabilities on the Internet in 1995. Customers could visit Alamo.com to find locations, view rates and select their vehicle. The company currently operates 159 self-service kiosks at 65 U.S. locations, which earned the company the "Extra Mile Award" from Budget Travel magazine in 2007. In 2002, Alamo Rent A Car announced a partnership with Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort, making Alamo Rent A Car the official rental car company of the most frequented tourist attractions in North America. In its more than 30-year history, the
Alamo Rent A Car brand has continued to serve family and leisure
travelers with fun, friendly service and low-cost, high-value
vehicles. Today, Alamo Rent A Car serves customers at the most
popular travel destinations throughout the United States, Canada,
Mexico, the Caribbean, Latin America, Asia and the Pacific Rim.
Alamo is part of a global strategic alliance with Europcar, creating
the world’s largest car rental network. |
