Alamo in Los Angeles is good. I rented a standard car, but it seems the company didn’t have this model, so I ended up choosing a Camry from the full-size options.
The staff at this Alamo location will try to sell you insurance and other services you didn't purchase. It's up to you to decide whether to buy them or not. The problem is: I booked a 'compact car' (Nissan Versa or similar) through Zuzuche, and the staff said it was too small (I only have two people) and suggested upgrading to a higher class for an additional fifteen dollars per day. I agreed, but when I went to the garage, I got a 'Ford Focus,' which is also listed as a compact car on Zuzuche's website. Why did I pay extra for an upgrade yet still get the same class of car? I think this location takes advantage of renters' unfamiliarity with car models to deceive them into paying for unnecessary upgrades. I've rented from many companies through Zuzuche and have never encountered this problem elsewhere.
Overall, I was satisfied with Alamo's service. After landing, there was a free shuttle to the rental point. When returning the car, the staff quickly handled everything and then took me to the airport or hotel. The staff were very nice. However, one vital issue disappointed me: I had planned to drive an American car and reserved a Grand Cherokee or similar model. When I arrived at the office, I was told the last one had been recalled and was unavailable. At the parking lot, a staff member directed me to the fourth row where all the cars were midsize. I noticed larger SUVs like the Explorer in the first row, so I went to the counter to ask for the Explorer key. I was told it was a higher-level model and required an upgrade fee. Reluctantly, I took the key for a Highlander. Later, I found out that the Explorer is indeed in the same class as the Grand Cherokee and many others had gotten the Explorer when they couldn't get a Grand Cherokee. This made me quite annoyed and speechless.
