When renters choose to earn miles/points in one of the Partner Rewards Programs listed below, Alamo charges a Frequent Traveler Recovery Fee (Freq Trav Rec Fee) on qualifying rentals in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico of up to $0.75 per day (except with respect to Southwest Airlines where the charge is $1.50 per day). The Frequent Traveler Recovery Fee offsets a portion of the expense (including, where applicable, the federal excise tax expense*) paid by Alamo to the applicable Partner Rewards Program when we purchase said miles/points. If an Alamo Insider Member elects to add one of these Partner Rewards Programs to their Alamo Insider Renter Profile, the Frequent Traveler Recovery Fee will be assessed automatically on all qualifying Alamo Insider rentals in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico until such Member removes the Partner Rewards Program from their Renter Profile.
