North America’s leading car hire provider Alamo Rent A Car has teamed with Virgin Holidays to become the preferred hire car supplier for the group. Renowned as the leading global holiday booking company, Virgin Holidays is also the biggest transatlantic holiday operator and inbound travel market leader for inbound USA and Caribbean travel. Some 350,000 passengers choose to travel annually with Virgin Holidays
Starting on the first of January this year the Virgin Holidays and Alamo exclusive arrangement will see US-bound travelers offered great deals at major North American destinations such as Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Orlando, Washington D.C, Miami and New York. Additionally, Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort are all served by their official rental car provider Alamo.
The new partnership also provides customers with the capacity to utilise the Virgin Check-In (VCI) system offered to all Virgin Holiday bookers which has been developed specifically to handle the Alamo online reservation process. This means that payment is made via e-voucher rather than facing lengthy delays on arrival. VCI transactions also allow customers to completely bypass the rental counter, meaning less time spent among the airport masses. Also available is the Alamo Choice option which gives customers complete access to airport rental fleets within the booking product range.
