Alamo Rent A Car

I know it’s been a while since I’ve published a review but now three weeks before I’ll fly to Canada, I’ll continue my Canada-series. Since Canada is a gigantic country and we wanted visit the Rockies from Calgary and Seattle from Vancouver, we booked a car directly with the flights and the hotels. ALAMO ~~~~~~~~ We hired the car from Alamo, there was an offer in the “Neckermann”-catalogue or you can book it on site. In Canada there are rent stations in Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Montréal, Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver. In Calgary, Montréal and Vancouver there’s a rent station directly at the ... more

We have been to the States several times and have used Dollar once and Alamo quite a few times. I believe Alamo are the better company as they don't hassle you to upgrade your car like Dollar do. Even though we always upgrade the car before we actually get there, Dollar still tried to upgrade us even more, what to next I asked, a Limo?

Before I begin here, I just would like to point out that this is a review only on the service given at the Alamo in Los Angeles. Here goes ...

Nothing luxurious, but it did us for our trip across America. (Visiting San Francisco, Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon ... more

I have read another complaint almost identical to ours. Shame it was too late for us. Hope you see this before it happens to you too! Our car was hired from Alamo, located at Sanford International Airport, Orlando. It had been arranged as part of our holiday package and was paid for prior to our arrival from the United Kingdom.

Ive now rented with Alamo/National car hire in the states now three time.Each time Ive found no problems at all.Ive found the staff to be very helpful...everyone was offered me a map and directions for journey when first collect the vehicle...some thing thats very welcoming when you are in a strange country. From both Miami and Los Angeles airport locations where I have rented from, the longest I had to wait for a shuttle bus which runs from directly outside any exit was 3 minutes...(even on 1am in the morning). Queues when your waiting to fill in your paperwork to pick up your car can be ... more
