Very satisfied

On the first day, the counter staff strongly recommended upgrading to a higher-end model at $30/day. After I declined, they immediately dropped the price to $20/day, totaling $260 for 13 days, plus over $300 with tax and insurance. Upon picking up the car, I noticed scratches and took photos and videos, but the staff didn't note it down. The next day, when I went back to the airport to pick up my husband, the maintenance light came on. I quickly drove back to the rental company and requested a replacement. Fortunately, the manager attended to us and replaced the car with a new one with just over 1,000 kilometers. It somewhat compensated for the initial dissatisfaction! We had a different drop-off location; after inspection, the staff handed us a document. My husband carefully reviewed it and noticed they wrongly charged us for 3 gallons of fuel at $6/gallon, despite returning the car with a full tank. After further checking, they reduced the charge by $50. Make sure to inspect everything thoroughly during the rental process and contest any discrepancies!

Self-checkin was very quick

Very convenient. Just bring your printed order and necessary documents to easily pick up the car. The downside is the waiting time can be a bit long, and the car model you selected might not be available, prompting them to suggest higher-grade options for an extra cost.

Overall, I was satisfied with Alamo's service. After landing, there was a free shuttle to the rental point. When returning the car, the staff quickly handled everything and then took me to the airport or hotel. The staff were very nice. However, one vital issue disappointed me: I had planned to drive an American car and reserved a Grand Cherokee or similar model. When I arrived at the office, I was told the last one had been recalled and was unavailable. At the parking lot, a staff member directed me to the fourth row where all the cars were midsize. I noticed larger SUVs like the Explorer in the first row, so I went to the counter to ask for the Explorer key. I was told it was a higher-level model and required an upgrade fee. Reluctantly, I took the key for a Highlander. Later, I found out that the Explorer is indeed in the same class as the Grand Cherokee and many others had gotten the Explorer when they couldn't get a Grand Cherokee. This made me quite annoyed and speechless.
