Picked up the car from Vancouver Airport. There are signs right outside the arrival gate, and many travelers heading to the rental car area; just follow them. There are ALAMO signs along the way too. Once in the parking lot, several rental companies share an office space. Find the appropriate counter, wait about 5 minutes, and the staff will indicate when it's your turn. Hand over the rental voucher from QEEQ, along with your credit card, passport, domestic driver's license, and translation (QEEQ offers this free service). After registration, they confirm your car type, pickup and drop-off locations, rental duration, and total cost. They might suggest adding local offerings like insurance, but since we already had full coverage from QEEQ, we declined and showed them the related notes in English. The staff didn't push further. After printing a new rental voucher and signing it, they directed us to the car. As we planned to cross the border to the USA, we proactively asked if this was allowed, and the answer was affirmative. We left the office, followed the ALAMO signs, and located the car. The entire process took less than 15 minutes - simple, efficient, and friendly service from ALAMO staff. The rental cost was 204 CAD with a 200 CAD deposit, credit card only (VISA or MasterCard).

The queue wasn't long, there were plenty of counters

Easy to find, staff are efficient and friendly

The same car category tends to offer the lowest price models first. They recommend paid upgrades and insurance, but provide little explanation and aren't very enthusiastic. Poor service attitude, and the pre-authorization amount on the credit card is higher than stated in the contract without informing the customer.

The service was good, but the car didn't have basic parking sensors, which affects parking safety.
