The "prepaid fuel" option was quite misleading, the staff suggested was going to be cheaper - which is only the case when the full tank is actually used. It felt like a try to squeeze extra money.

The car was pretty beat up. Supposedly an upgrade that I should not have agreed to. The car has so many dents and rattles. Worst rental car I have ever rented.

We had to wait when picking up the car because there were a lot of people. Kia isn‘t my favourite car. Big choice of child seats. I liked the video documentation of the car‘s state.

Need to check the vehicle thoroughly, as the slightest chip on the windscreen will be your problem when you return the vehicle. On collection, quite a long process using a self service machine, definitely missing the human touch. On return, took some time to inspect the vehicle.

Used Alamo in both USA (West Coast) and Iceland. Expect upsell of insurance from Alamo's service staff at the counter, regardless of whatever insurance package you've taken. They will likely sell you: Comprehensive Insurance, Tyre Damage, 24-hr roadside assistance, prepaid fuel, prepaid tolls, windscreen cover etc etc. Each of these items are INDIVIDUAL coverage (requiring top up) and yet there is no "fully comprehensive" option that provides 1-price for all. nonetheless, they cars are generally quite new, fully featured (bluetooth, CarPlay) etc.

Picked up the car at Enterprise, there was no one there, just got the car directly. The car was in great condition, only 1500 kilometers! The staff were very nice, no sales pitches. Adding an extra driver costs extra.

The pickup process was very quick; the most time-consuming part was reading the terms and conditions. They asked if I needed insurance but didn't push for it. I rented a Yeti and was given a larger diesel Tucson. No deposit was required; they just copied my credit card information. UnionPay is not accepted; you need a Visa or MasterCard. I returned the car outside business hours via self-service, and no additional fees were deducted later.

Extremely patient car rental company. They provide a dedicated person to assist with car pick-up and return inspections. However, there was a minor oversight. I picked up the car in the afternoon, but the rental agreement stated PM instead of AM! This caused some trouble when returning the car as I was late. After some negotiation and comparing the order time with another car, the issue was finally resolved smoothly... Advice for everyone: Allow plenty of time. We spent over an hour picking up the car! Check critical information on the documents (time, price, etc.) carefully before signing!

The staff at the store simply asked if I needed extra insurance. I told him I already purchased one domestically, and without any hassle, he handed me the keys and I drove off! Before returning the car, I searched everywhere for a car wash but couldn't find one. I went to the store and asked, and they told me it wasn't necessary to wash it.
