When we arrived, we were not allowed to pick up the Grand Cherokee. We were only given a choice between a lower-class Jeep model or another SUV. Very frustrating. Not sure if it's the fault of the rental company or Alamo. People picking up cars at the same time had the same issue.

Convenient, fast. Great car rental experience

Convenient and Quick

ALAMO's basic services are adequate, with shuttle buses and decent online customer service. However, they didn't provide sufficient information about the car and its location. The parking lot staff were also inadequate and unclear, merely suggesting to pick any car. Follow-up inquiries about refueling were difficult as their phone lines were almost never answered.

The whole process of collecting the car is very smooth and the counter staff is able to explain very clearly on the terms and conditions. The staff will ask if you need the insurance coverage from them but she did not try to hard sell to me. My recommendation is not to subscribe to any insurance from the online car rental portal you are using but to purchase directly at the Alamo counter. This approach will give you a worry free trip as you are able to call Alamo for direct assistance if required instead of calling the insurance agency direct while overseas.

Very clear and easy use of the website. However, it will be great to specify the differences in using your own insurance coverage as compared to those provided by the car rental company. This will reduce a lot of unhappiness between customers and the car rental companies.
