Great experience all round

Excellent

When picking up the car, the counter staff still tried to sell insurance and suggest an upgrade to a larger car. After repeatedly refusing, I finally got the car! At the pickup, I took the contract and went to the designated car area to choose the vehicle myself. Any car parked in that area was available for selection. Nobody inspected the car with me, so you need to be cautious. However, the selection was vast, with significant differences among the options. Take your time to look around!

There were cars available in the same group but they only offered them after charging extra.

Except for a minor issue with the rental, everything else was great, especially returning the car, which was super convenient and quick!

Alamo were absolutely awful. We arrived and went to sort the car, we were asked to choice the car, I asked if we just picked any, to which the man said yeah. We just choose the one he had up, it was the size we needed. He said I needed a car seat which I had to pay for. He went over the cost of the seat and that was it. A day later I checked my online banking to see £1200 had gone out of my account. When I looked on the paperwork, we had been charged £1200 for the car. I couldn't understand why as I had paid for the car. When I looked into it more, we had been charged an upgrade charge and taxes. The car we had was an upgrade. He never at any point said its was upgrade or chargeable. We went back and they changed the car for one we had paid for. The lady we spoke to said she was sorry, but didn't seem surprised. I think it was awful that we could be offered a car and not told you will pay £1200 more. What A con. We also didn't need the car seat as all the children were old enough, that did get removed from the costs. I'm so disappointed that they could do what they did. If I hadn't have gone back we would have been charged all the money.
