Average. When picking up the car, the staff mentioned that besides the car we originally booked, there was a BMW 5 Series Touring available at the same price. We asked if it could fit five suitcases, and the staff said the BMW was more suitable. However, when we went to pick up the car, we found the luggage couldn't fit. We returned to the store for help, but another staff member said it was impossible for him to assist us. When we requested a car swap, he claimed it was already the largest model available and refused to exchange it. His attitude was unfriendly. Eventually, we managed to fit all the suitcases ourselves. There were hidden charges since the so-called deposit has not yet been refunded. It's unclear if, as stated in the booking, no extra fees were supposed to be charged at the store.

I booked a Q3, and even though they had a Q3 available, they insisted on giving me an old and worn-out Hyundai, claiming it's equivalent. After seeing the car, I found it unacceptable and went back to confront them. They seemed to know they were in the wrong and handed over the Q3 key without any argument. Really poor service—won't be using this company again.

The rental company charged arbitrary fees, added an upsell fee, but the actual car model remained unchanged.

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.

If it's not your first time driving in Europe, you can skip the optional services offered by the store. For beginners, it's better to purchase them for peace of mind.

At Zurich Airport, the guy in charge of handing over the car mentioned a lot of fees and said the car was brand new. He required a 2000 CHF deposit. In reality, there were a few scratches. Thankfully, we took some random photos before departure; otherwise, it would have been hard to explain.

Not bad. Chose this company because its brand is close to HERTZ and EURO CAR but with better pricing. However, the remaining cars available were all Japanese models which I'm not fond of.

The car rental process was simple without any insurance upselling. It took just 5 minutes to complete the paperwork. After that, you collect the keys and get the car from the parking lot yourself. QEEQ previously mentioned that an international driving permit was required, but that wasn't the case. I confirmed through the official website that an English translation of my driving license was acceptable, and they accepted it without any issues. Furthermore, I booked a mid-size car (expected i40 or BMW 1 series), but they upgraded it to a Mercedes 220, which was great. Returning the car was as easy as driving to the return location, where a staff member inspected the exterior and dashboard in 3 minutes. The final bill was emailed to me the same afternoon.

No avisaron de que el dia de la devolución NO ESTARÏAN para recibir el coche, ni para llevarme de regreso al Aeropuerto. Ésto no está en ninguno de los puntos que me advirtieron. Hice llamadas y nadie atendió.Me amenazaron por whatsApp de que el traslado al aeropuerto costaba 120CHF, pero no lo habian detallado ni en el contrato ni en todas las advertencias que me hicieron al retirar el coche. Espero que liberen el cargo de reserva porque yo si he cumplido con mi parte y heentregadoel coche en perfectas condiciones + depósito lleno.

This car rental company is really great! Initially, I had to rent a car in a hurry due to a cancelled train. However, the staff at the store were warm and considerate. Although they first upgraded me to a manual car, I later requested an automatic one. Even though it was after their working hours, they still accommodated my request cheerfully and charged a reasonable fee. The entire process was handled with a fantastic attitude, leaving me very satisfied. After returning the car to the drop-off point, their subsequent handling was professional and efficient. They carefully checked the car's condition, and the whole process was quick, smooth, and friendly, without any impatience. It made a very strong impression on me, and I would definitely choose this rental company again if I need to rent a car in the future.

Honestly,this is my first time booking through EasyRentCars and to my surprise it was excellent. At first I had a skeptical thoughts because as others said, book only from official website Europcar, Sixt, Hertz etc big company, cuz it will not give headache. Cuz Dollar is not very big names like others,but it is managed by Hertz so it was no problem at all. During collecting my car was great cuz the staff very friendly and helpful. She upgrade from my Ford Focus estate to Mazda CX5 with addition CHF10 per day..and ad hoc add in second driver for CHF50 only, I got the brand new car with only 8km milage..just a new born baby for me

Excellent and thoughtful service. Since their shop is not inside the airport building, they send someone to pick you up and take you to the shop to complete the rental process. Highly recommend this company. We will choose them again next time we visit Switzerland.
