There were additional self-paid items that were not informed in advance. The counter staff said it was mandatory by California law. Originally, the car rental cost was over 200 yuan per day, but we ended up spending an extra 100 yuan per day.

Average service.

Overall it's quite good, with a competitive price. They didn't push any extra items when picking up the car. Since I was planning a road trip, I opted for roadside assistance at $5 per day, which is reasonable. Alamo is quite friendly about opting out of certain charges, like crossing the Golden Gate Bridge (north to south); if you pay online yourself, you can automatically opt-out of Alamo’s charges without contacting them. Picking up a car at San Francisco airport was quite intense, it felt like there were more people than cars, and you had to grab one as soon as it appeared.

Fairly smooth and quick with no incidents.
