Clearly selected a mid-to-large SUV on the website (more expensive) but was given the option of a compact city SUV (listed at a lower price) upon arrival in the US. The time spent waiting for and choosing the car was included in the rental period. Despite this, I managed to choose a newer car (with lower mileage), but ended up paying extra for a higher-grade vehicle and wasted 40 minutes waiting for it.
The United States is indeed a country on wheels. Once you get off the plane, there are no taxis or subways; you basically head straight to the car rental companies. However, compared to my car rental experience in Europe, there are too many extra charges. Initially, I had already spent over 5700 RMB when booking from China, which claimed to include all rental fees, taxes, insurance, and additional drivers. But upon picking up and returning the car, I was charged an additional $344 for alleged various airport taxes and insurance. Additionally, despite returning the car with a full tank of gas, I was still charged around $60 for a full tank, even though locally filling up a tank does not cost that much. Returning the car two hours late incurred an extra day's rental fee plus tax. Moreover, they refused to refund me, citing that I was over two hours late. Well, if you don't have ample free time, I suggest you don't choose Alamo and try other options!
Very satisfied. Everything went smoothly. They did try to upsell and recommend a car upgrade, but for a mid-to-large car, full insurance was sufficient.
The procedures are quite simple, which is great. It would be even more convenient if the self-service system had a keyboard for car rental customers! The staff typically suggest upgrades or insurance purchases. They might seem displeased if you decline, but it’s understandable.
I've only used Alamo at Los Angeles Airport. Self-service car pick-up, no lines, no checking of driver's license, no fuss, no upselling.
