The overall experience was great.

Pickup and drop-off were convenient and fast, service was good.

I really like Alamo's branch at LAX. The cars are new, and the service is good!

The pickup location was in Los Angeles, where there was a long line of people. The staff at the location were not very friendly and lacked patience. However, they did not push hard on insurance sales. The drop-off location was in San Francisco, which operates 24 hours. The staff there was a young African American girl, who was quite inefficient and made serious operational errors. Fortunately, after some communication, we got a refund. Overall, the impression of the San Francisco store was not very good, as their mistakes caused unnecessary trouble for the customers.

Used the Alamo "Skip the Counter" option which saves having to queue at the desk. Just go straight to the garage and pick the car you want from those available in your group. Needed to extend our rental for a couple of days due to unforeseen circumstances but this was easily arranged by phoning them.
