Very convenient

The vehicle provided by the company was reliable and the service process was convenient. Worth using again.

I picked up the car at the counter, and the staff kept trying to sell me additional services. Fortunately, I couldn’t understand him!

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.

The first staff member we dealt with was extremely unhelpful and was not interested in answering very simple questions about the insurance and made the start of the pick up process frustrating, particularly after a long flight. The manager on duty who we dealt with after being fobbed off by the first staff member was fantastic, answered our questions simply and helped us understand the difference between the insurance policies that we booked through Easyrentcars and Alamo - the two companies provide different levels of cover with different cover providers depending on what insurance you book.

The booking was easy enough to complete and gave me the options i would expect and wanted to see which was fantastic. The major drawback is that the Easyrentcars use separate insurance providers for different levels of cover. They used Alamo for a basic insurance package, but for additional levels of cover, use a separate provider for the additional cover. This was not very clear and made the pick up process unneccesarily frustrating.
