San Francisco, Highway 1, Los Angeles, Las Vegas

I've always used Alamo; they are reliable.

They kept pushing upsells—insurance, car upgrades, fuel fees, etc. I was talked into buying additional insurance by the front desk, even though it was only around 100 dollars, it was quite annoying. I thought the insurance included in my order was comprehensive, but their 'full insurance' was actually just an extra coverage similar to full insurance in other rentals. In the end, Alamo added another super coverage. This was the third Alamo I encountered during my trip at San Francisco airport, the previous two didn't ask these questions. Overall, the worst experience of this trip!

This was my second time renting from Alamo at San Francisco Airport. Since there were many people handling rental procedures when I arrived, I tried the self-service option. Just follow the instructions on the screen and input the required information step by step.

The pick-up and drop-off process was quite fast.

Returned and picked up the car at Auckland Airport. Small airport with fewer people and even fewer cars to choose from. The so-called 'free upgrade' is basically based on luck; you get whatever car is available. I didn't encounter any Chinese service, but my English is fine. Both pickup and drop-off are self-service, very convenient and straightforward.
