The vehicle had a number of items which needed to be taken care of: Computer kept alarming us that the Oil Fuel was filled too much Midway we were warned to add more AdBlue (refunded by Alamo) After the first use we were warned to top up the wiper fluid. Apart from that, Alamo service was very great and supportive

I booked Mercedes E class as the car boot space is quite big. However I was given a BMW330 or another alternative car which car boot space is even smaller. I had to send my big luggage to my accomodation by uber. BMW330 can only store 1 big luggage and one hand carry. It is very small as compared to Merc E class.

Overall, it was efficient. However, they did try to upsell at pickup. I booked a Mercedes but was told I needed to pay extra for an upgrade, otherwise I'd get an Audi. They also repeatedly mentioned insurance and fuel. To get the car quicker, I agreed to their fuel option.

Alamo had either not enough cars available. Needed to wait 60 minutes with other ten customers before we could pick up the car. First time in my life for such long wait. Other operators at the same location only need a five minutes wait. Alamo in Manchester airport was terrible.

The rental company provided a CLA shooting brake, insisting it was of the same class as an E-Class, even taking me to see it. Coincidentally, there was a C-Class parked nearby, which was visibly larger. They then claimed that their classification was based on trunk space. However, the CLA could only fit one 28-inch suitcase, one 20-inch suitcase, and a bag, while the E-Class could fit two 28-inch suitcases, two 20-inch suitcases, and two bags before nearing capacity. When I pointed out the inconsistencies, the rental company staff remained adamant, stating that by their rules, a CLA shooting brake was equivalent to an E-Class, leaving me with no other option. The manager even provocatively said, “Would a Volvo XC40 be big enough for you?” Eventually, I contacted Zuzuche and proposed using the CLA temporarily until my friend arrived and then swapping for another car. The staff agreed to this and even provided a written note. Later, both Zuzuche and the rental company's official customer service confirmed over the phone that I could swap for an Audi A6 that night. However, when I arrived that evening, the staff on duty outright refused, claiming, “We have no car to give you, the CLA shooting brake is the correct car. We never agreed to let you switch, and official customer service’s promise has nothing to do with us. We didn’t agree, nor were we notified.” After repeated insistence and directly pointing out the two Audi A6s parked outside, they finally allowed the swap.
