It’s hard to believe, but Thanksgiving is less than four weeks away. Then Hanukkah and Christmas follow barely a few weeks later. Are you all set with your holiday travel bookings? Got your airline tickets? How about your rental car reservation?
I rent a car fairly frequently, most recently when I was in Colorado over the summer for TBEX, the travel bloggers conference. The event was in Keystone, about an hour and a half from the airport in Denver, so a car rental was key. It was an amazing drive too. Incredible views, and it was so fun driving the Jeep I rented up and down the mountains.
When I rented the Jeep, I used an online travel service, like Expedia or Travelocity, to book my car rental. I didn’t realize that some car rental agencies, like Alamo, regularly post weekly deals, making the cost of a car rental even lower than what I might find on aggregator sites. Even better, when you sign up for the Alamo Insiders loyalty program, you save 10% or more on any Alamo promotion.
Starting today, Alamo Insiders can save $25 on the rental of a convertible, minvan or SUV. So whether you’re picking up a minivan at the airport to drive the family to grandma’s house or you’re renting a convertible for a girls weekend in Southern California, you’ll find a great deal with Alamo.
While you consider the car rental savings with Alamo, why not register to win a prize pack courtesy of Alamo complete with everything you’ll need for your next car trip. Take a look at what’s inside:
* Alamo-branded Striped Boat Tote Bag
* Alamo-branded Travel Coffee Mug
* Alamo-branded Sunglasses

* iTrip iPhone/iPod Car Adaptor
* $100 American Express Gift Card

What I like about holiday travel is seeing decorations along the way and trying new foods.
seeing decorations and listening to holiday music
Holiday travel has always been an adventure for us. It never fails that something unforeseen happens- we get stuck in an ice storm or our car breaks down. I kid you not, if it wasn’t for spending time with family, I’d be content staying home.
My favorite is seeing family and friends as well as all the different decorations in a new town.
Meeting new people!
I don’t usually travel during the holidays.
My favorite part of traveling during the holidays is the sense of adventure that goes along with it, it’s just as exciting to plan, and research, and be in the car going as it is to actually get there (well, almost, but close!).
