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.

Simple procedures and clean car

The front desk staff had an excellent attitude, patiently answering our questions and bringing a warm, welcoming feel to our travel-weary selves. After picking up the car, we were pleasantly surprised to find multiple vehicles to choose from! We quickly chose an almost-new Volkswagen Tiguan with only 700+ miles driven! The car ran smoothly throughout our trip, leading to a very pleasant rental experience!

Self-service pick-up is very convenient, and returning the car is easy. The car had only 500 miles on it.

Highly recommend Alamo! When you exit SFO airport, take the escalator on the left or right side and hop on the shuttle train directly to the rental counter, very convenient. We added $5 per day for roadside assistance. It was secured with a credit card, and in about 10 minutes, we went to the parking lot to get the car. The key was inside the car, just ensure you have your driver's license and contract ready, as you'll need it to leave. On the second day in San Francisco, our car window got smashed near the Palace of Fine Arts. We reported it to the police, then drove to Union Square to try to change the car, but we were told we had to go back to the airport. The car change process was quick and hassle-free, and it was free. We got a new car with only 2400 miles on it, which was even better than the one we had before. Great service! We returned the car at LAX, drove straight to the parking lot, and it took about 3 minutes to inspect. Then, a shuttle bus took us to our hotel. This rental company is awesome, and we will choose Alamo again in the future!
