Update: DEAD!
You can currently buy up to 3 $50 Alamo vouchers for $25 each.
Don’t forget to use a card like Chase Sapphire Preferred, Sapphire Reserve, or Citi Premier to earn double or triple points as these deals post as a travel related charge! These deals will also qualify for the $300 annual Sapphire Reserve travel credit!
The vouchers never expire and you can combine up to 3 vouchers on one rental.
I haven’t bought these in the past, but others report that you can use them with corporate contract IDs like Costco (7014627) or Alamo Insiders.
You can also hand in the vouchers when you return your car so that the coupons won’t affect any credit card insurance on your car rental.
Using a voucher also lowers the base rental rate, which in turn lowers the percentage taxes owed on a rental, so you’ll wind up saving even more.
These are valid for use in the USA.
Have you bought Alamo vouchers in the past? Share your experience in the comments!
Dan, do you have any experience with their upcoming deal for Avis? Is it worth it? Procs vs cons? https://dailygetaways.ustravel.org/Home/Offer/B0529

Thanks for posting.
I see you took a trip to the Canadian Rockies. Did you ever share info on that trip in the past? Have you written anything on it? Thinking of taking a trip up there but not sure what to do about Shabbos. We would like to spend more than 5-6 days in the Canadian Rockies without needing to go back to Calgary for Shabbos.

Go to Calgary for Shabbat. Then spend the week going north through Banff, Icefields Parkway making all the stops, and Jasper. Spend the next Shabbat in Edmonton. Visit the huge mall in Edmonton, and get good, kosher pizza there. Fantastic trip!
When do they expire?
Read the post 🙂
Can I use one voucher for 2 days. Let’s say I have a $25 daily rate, so can I use 1 voucher for the 2 day rate of $50
Sure.
Can you use each voucher more than once? For example, pay for a $25 rental this week and use the voucher again for $25 rental the next week?
No.
How many of these can be redeemed at once?
3
But it seems to imply if you use more than one at a time you will need to book through them.
So if I can use them fory Costco booked car, I can only use 1 per reservation.
You can use the Costco contract number along with 3 of these discount codes. You can make the booking online and then call in to add then call in to add the codes. You cannot combine these with Costco discount codes though

How is one supposed to know if they should use one rental company over the other
especially while including the variables of price difference due to rental location, time and date
Definitely go with the most expensive rental. You get what you pay for. So if you spend 33% more on a rental, well then, they must be giving you the same car only 33% bigger.
Can I use that Vouchers to rent a car in Israel ?
i was just informed by Alamo these coupons expired 5/14, they were in effect for one week. i received the coupons via email on Saturday May 11, looks like I was taken for a ride. I will try to contact DailyGetaways. Anyone else experience issues?
Dan. Can you suggest something for resolution to the Alamo coupons expiring three days after I received them? Mentioned above is the statement…………”The vouchers never expire and you can combine up to 3 vouchers on one rental”. Thanks. Allen
Did you try contacting daily getaways?
here’s an update Dan…Daily Getaways acknowledged the certificates were invalid (some sort of snafu) and issued me new certificates. The issue now however is that Alamo would not apply the certificates to an existing rental (of which i was in the midst of) only to a new rental. I am now requesting from Daily Getaways a $75 refund since I travel infrequently and these certificates are of no use to me.
further update…Daily Getaways are stating all sales final with no refund…..do you have a suggestion please? thanks.
Chargeback.
Why would Alamo say he can’t use it for an existing rental and yoy stated above you can apply them when your returning the rental???
Dan said you could apply them when you return the car. If thats true why should this matter
Just filed a chargeback with my credit card as I discovered mine also expired at the end of May
