Gutes und breites Angebot, keine Möglichkeit zur Mietverlängerung.

The overall service was poor. The reception staff had a bad attitude and did not explain things clearly. Despite having already purchased the supplementary insurance, the rental staff still forcibly tried to sell additional insurance, which was firmly declined. If the company cannot urgently improve the quality of its personnel, I suggest closing this branch. I travel abroad every year and often rent cars, but this was a bad experience. The service attitude of the ALAMO Zurich rental staff was extremely poor and impatient. They also insisted on pushing additional insurance (even though I had already purchased it when booking). The professionalism of the staff at this branch needs urgent improvement. If this reflects the general quality of staff here, I suggest shutting it down.

When I picked up my car, they gave me a BMW 320 station wagon, which is smaller than the Passat wagon I originally booked. The trunk couldn't fit three pieces of luggage as advertised for the Passat, which forced me to upgrade the vehicle. During the upgrade, the staff told me it would only cost an additional 20 CHF per day with the insurance fee unchanged. However, the actual charge was 25 CHF per day plus nearly 100 CHF in taxes (which the staff never mentioned). After emailing them, they blamed me and claimed they had informed me of everything. But when I returned the car and confronted the staff with the order, they lied again, saying it was 20 CHF per day plus 25 CHF in taxes, even though the order clearly stated 25 CHF per day and nearly 100 CHF in taxes. Simply outrageous!

Rented several times, standard experience

We arrived late and were greeted by an Asian girl who was very friendly. She upgraded our vehicle for free.

Everything went smooth, easy and without any hassle. The car was exactly what I had wanted, small, fuel efficient and perfect for our needs.

I don’t think anything could have been better in my case.
