Friendly service

Alamo at San Francisco airport is a horrible company. My car window was smashed, and my driver's license and luggage were stolen. The police suggested I change cars for safety reasons. It was already 2:30 AM, and I had four elderly people with me. However, the stubborn Alamo manager insisted on seeing my driver's license to give me a replacement car, despite me explaining the situation and even getting help from customer service. They claimed it was company policy due to liability issues with the police. If I didn't have a driver's license, how did I rent the car in the first place? Even if I had my license initially, what would I do if it got lost? This is a terrible company. It's incredible to encounter such poor service in a foreign country at 2:30 AM, leaving my family stranded at the airport. Later, I am extremely grateful to the AVIS manager at San Francisco airport, who, without any original documents, allowed me to rent another car just by showing photos and explaining the situation. Thank you so very much!

Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, because it was all self-service. Used a machine to pick up the car, and a driver just brought the car over without much interaction.

The clerk forcibly insisted that we buy third-party insurance, claiming it was required by California law. I checked online and found no such law. The Asian clerk began to stall and refuse to complete the transaction. I mentioned that I had rented a car from this Alamo location five days ago with no such requirement, and the clerk became hesitant but still did not verify the law with a manager or provide us with any documentation. The whole incident was very unpleasant. I hope that in the future, Zuzuche improves their system to inform renters in advance about necessary insurance requirements at the rental location, preventing forced sales.

There was a collision, but Alamo provided a replacement car, which didn't affect our trip much.
