Picking up the car was speedy and convenient with the self-service machine. Returning it was simple; the staff just made a quick inspection and if everything was fine, you just leave the keys and go.
The customer service guy was really responsible. He first asked if we were safe, then started the troubleshooting. He followed the instructions to check if the issue could be resolved, and when it didn't work, he arranged a tow truck. He also offered us a hotel if we preferred. We chose to stay with the vehicle. His English was not perfect, but he tried his best to make sure I understood. His name might have been Matt or Mike...
Very long queue, had to wait a long time. Luckily, there were self-service machines available. The car model didn't match the one in the order at all. It seems like orders made through the agency with discounted prices receive this kind of treatment.
Economy car booked at LAX.
On arrival counter clerk tried to get me to up-grade to a Compact car, saying it would be roomier and more comfortable over long distances at an additional cost of only so many more dollars per day, which I declined and said I would stay with the Economy car booked, asked about cruise-control and was told that only Full-size cars had cruise and would do well to upgrade to one [ at extra cost of course. ]
I again declined and was then given a Compact car, at no extra cost. Why ?
Because they did not have any Economy cars, having previously tried to get me to pay for an up-grade which they were bound to give me gratis anyway ! Nice try Alamo.
On checking 5 different makes of Economy cars, I found that they ALL had cruise control, making the counter-hand, at best, woefully ignorant of the features of the vehicles Alamo rent out, or a deliberate liar at worst.
Commission-hungry rental agents who are prepared to tell customers anything to boost their income do little to maintain the reputation and integrity of Alamo.
I have taken the matter up with Alamo and am waiting for their response, but thought I should advise you of the dubious methods being practiced there.
