Alamo Rental in Birmingham
Pros: This is a complicated review, because I have to balance the negative against several positives that occurred. First, I think I got a good deal on line. Second, we had a horrible flight over with several delays and cancellations due to weather. Instead of arriving in the morning, I reached the rental car desk in the BHM garage about 11:30pm. They were gracious and very helpful, and I needed the car to drive another hour south for the holiday. Finally, there was a mix-up in the billing and the information I received from Alamo 800 number. They were accommodating and resolved it to the best of their ability. They were in a tight spot really. I appreciate their cooperativeness. The car was a pleasure to drive.
Cons: Several negatives occurred with this rental. First, the car was not cleaned thoroughly. A jacket was in the back (I gave that to the desk), and it reeked of cigarette smoke. I mean, it did this for over a week. Like driving in a ash can. But we had no choice: This was the only car they had for me at 11:30pm after a bad day of delayed flights due to weather. I had called earlier in the first day to talk to Alamo and they informed me that a second driver could be added for free, and this was standing policy. The desk thought otherwise and added a $150 charge for my wife. I complained and the desk staff upon return graciously took the charge off, and told me this was not their policy. They were in a bad spot with this conflicting information. I felt bad for them. But then again, I have to check my credit card to see what my charges are at the moment.

Got An Upgrade!
Pros: We got an upgrade to an SUV with 125 miles on it. Sweet! It was very clean inside. The return was quick and the personnel had us out of there and on out way to our flight quickly.
Cons: We had difficulty locating the vehicle in the parking area. It was not in the designated spot we were told it was, and we spent a few minutes trying to find it until my wife hit the vehicle lock function on the remote fob and we saw the lights flashing.

Cons: The drop off address was wrong. It was challenging to find the right location to return the car because of this. If I had been in a hurry to catch a flight, I would have been in trouble.

BHM airport location CLOSED midnight to 5am?!?
Pros: Friendly enough girl was at the counter at 5am.
Cons: How can the airport location be closed when flights are still landing?? Blows my mind that a company could operate this way. What are travelers supposed to do?? My flight landed at 1:15am. It wasn’t late. That was the scheduled arrival. I had to sleep in the airport until the counter opened up at 5am. There were 3 other people with the same or similar situations. Unacceptable.

Pros: Gas mileage was great!
Cons: The lady at the front counter in Birmingham was sour and curt. She seemed like she didnt even want to cooperate, just because I came to pick up the car earlier than the time I indicated when I did the rental transaction online. The pick-up drop-off times simply had defaulted to 12:00 and 12:00. She also charged me for a 2-day rental with no explanation, but zt that point I just wanted to get on my way and handle that issue at MIA drop-off. And, yes, I got the over charge fixed by the MIA Alamo personnel, very simply and kindly.
