About Alamo: 2.0 /10

When we went to pick up the car, we had already completed the rental process and printed out the car rental order from China. However, the procedure took over 20 minutes. After paying the remaining balance and signing the documents, the agent was about to leave the counter. While organizing our documents, I realized my international driver's license translation was missing. We called the agent, but he ignored us. We searched through all possible luggage but couldn't find it. When we asked other staff members to help us locate the agent who assisted us, they informed us he had already left for the day. We insisted on reviewing the surveillance footage and finally discovered that my international driver's license translation was stuck underneath the computer keyboard. We wasted almost an hour at the pick-up location. There was no warm service, only frustration and anger!

About Alamo: 10.0 /10

Picked up the car from Vancouver Airport. There are signs right outside the arrival gate, and many travelers heading to the rental car area; just follow them. There are ALAMO signs along the way too. Once in the parking lot, several rental companies share an office space. Find the appropriate counter, wait about 5 minutes, and the staff will indicate when it's your turn. Hand over the rental voucher from QEEQ, along with your credit card, passport, domestic driver's license, and translation (QEEQ offers this free service). After registration, they confirm your car type, pickup and drop-off locations, rental duration, and total cost. They might suggest adding local offerings like insurance, but since we already had full coverage from QEEQ, we declined and showed them the related notes in English. The staff didn't push further. After printing a new rental voucher and signing it, they directed us to the car. As we planned to cross the border to the USA, we proactively asked if this was allowed, and the answer was affirmative. We left the office, followed the ALAMO signs, and located the car. The entire process took less than 15 minutes - simple, efficient, and friendly service from ALAMO staff. The rental cost was 204 CAD with a 200 CAD deposit, credit card only (VISA or MasterCard).
