Easy experience, mostly

Pros: Easy rental and return with no hassles, great driving car.

Cons: It was difficult to find the rental office in Birmingham because the reservation had the clean up lot's address, not the pick up address. That was confusing. The guard at the lot was super helpful though and said it happens all the time.

Minivan

Aug 11 2017

Pros: The price and quick drop off!! The mini van was actually a great ride and comfortable.

Cons: The fact that searching for the car at pick up sucked!! It was in the space we were told it was and had to walk around trying the alarm to find the van...once we located it...I had to go back in and say that even though it was supposed to be "no smoking" the van smelled like cigarette smoke, so we wouldn't be charged with that..then to inquire as what I was supposed to do with the form for damage. I was just used to employees of the rental company walking with you to check out the vehicle. The van also has candy on the side of the passenger seat which meant it wasn't cleaned thoroughly but I wiped it down before my children rode in it.

Pros: Rep was working alone and had a few customers in line. She was quick and precise with each customer. Answered all of our questions and remained very professional. She handle customers for two different rental companies.

Cons: Get your reps help so you don't overwork one person. Several reps outside; one of them could have been at the intake counter

Cons: I picked up a car from Birmingham, AL and it had Florida license plated on it. I paid extra for rental because it was a one-way rental. It seemed that I was the one returning the car to Florida that someone else dropped off in Al. why was I charged the premium price for doing ALAMO the service of returning the car to FL?

Couldn't stay open 15 minutes for a late flight?

Pros: Nothing

Cons: I did the on-line check in and provided my flight information. So my flight was delayed, causing me to arrive at the Alamo counter 15 minutes after their scheduled closing time. Not a soul in sight and never got a car. No arrangements or accommodations for late flights? I will never rent from Alamo again, and will relate this story to everyone I know.

Good customer service. Vehicle just so so.

Pros: Great customer service. Good rental price.

Cons: The vehicle. It's not that it was bad it's just the last time I rented from Alamo they put me in a loaded jeep Cherokee. This time they gave me a renegade which isn't a bad vehicle but is not in the same class as the other one.

Apr 13 2017

Pros: quick easy cheap

Cons: not much. Dirty car, especially the glass, Alamo needs to spend more time cleaning the inside and glass (inside and out, could barely see! Cleaned it myself, of course) and pay less attention to the paint job, paint job won't save my life, and I spent majority of time IN the car, not looking at it.

Better than expected

Pros: Maybe I was just lucky, but considering the price I paid, and about 1/3 of that appeared to be taxes and fees, I wasn't expecting much. I basically had a 120 mile round trip to a meeting, so this was was cheaper than a cab or uber. Vehicle was bigger than expected, perfectly clean and comfortable. Pick up and drop off were both so smooth. I don't think either of those interactions took more than 5 minutes, and the staff was very courteous.

Aug 2 2016

Pros: Comfortable car.

Cons: Going to have to work with the Alamo office in Houston - the BHam return could not fix this but they charged me a whole extra day to return the vehicle one hour late, including insurance coverage, extra driver, etc. Over $100 for one hour- even the return person said that was excessive in her view. Car was not clean on outside had not been washed.

May 3 2016

Cons: Check in was a long involved pain, and once I got through it all, was told I was not able to rent a car because I didn't carry a major credit card and was renting for a one-way travel from ATL to BHM. Was largely inconvenient and was sent to another company that could accommodate. It cost me an extra hour in the airport and ended up spending a lot more. I wouldn't recommend Alamo or really Kayak for that matter.

Don't try to change your plans!!

Cons: I was travelling for work this week and had to change my plans last minute so I had to switch my drop off location and I was charged an extra $350 which was more than I had to pay for the whole rental. I contacted Alamo's customer service who were extremely rude and said this is the rate and there is nothing they can do. The fact that I had their car and was forced to pay this amount felt like I was taken advantage of and had no choice in the matter.

Cons: The Alamo booth isn't clearly labeled at the bhm airport. It's shared with the National rental booth but I didn't find that out until I asked one of the National guys where the Alamo booth was.
