Overall, the car rental experience was good. Unlike in Italy, they didn’t nitpick excessively. However, the back seat of the car was a bit loose, which affected the riding experience.

The reservation was made with Alamo, but they are actually partnered with Europcar. I've booked cars through them several times, and their service is very professional. Although we booked a category of vehicle like a Renault Scénic, I was worried that it might be a bit tight for five people plus luggage. However, seeing that we had a larger group and more luggage, the staff provided us with a much larger car than the one we booked. Many thanks to the kind employee!

The original booking was canceled entirely and all fees were charged because I arrived at the Alamo downtown location over an hour late. QEEQ did not inform me in advance that arriving more than an hour late would result in being unable to pick up the car and having the full amount charged. Such unreasonable and shameless terms were only subtly mentioned in the contract. Additionally, the Alamo staff were very arrogant and showed schadenfreude, seemingly profiting well from such practices. Ultimately, there was no way to claim compensation, and I had to place a new order on-site. I strongly advise everyone to avoid Alamo!

Quick and convenient

Maria at Seville Santa Justa station was brilliant and should get a medal for counter staff service. We were upgraded and she set the GPS to English for us. In Madrid the service was fast and efficient and we were credit for the extra petrol we returned. Our only problem was the signage at Madrid Terminal 4 which was unhelpful in finding the entrance to Alamo returns.
