Top tips for renting a car from Alamo in San Diego

  • When you are making the choice to book Alamo car rentals in San Diego, the purpose of your trip can influence your choice. If you're visiting for business, a smaller, fuel-efficient car may be suitable. For a vacation or leisure trip, you might want more comfortable and spacious options. San Diego is known for its beautiful beaches. If you plan to spend a lot of time at the beach, consider a convertible, which can enhance your beach experience.
  • One of the reasons that so many people choose to book Alamo car rentals in San Diego is that Alamo offers a loyalty rewards program called Alamo Insiders. Members enjoy expedited check-in processes at Alamo rental locations. This can save time when picking up your rental car. Alamo Insiders receive exclusive offers, discounts, and promotions via email, which can provide additional savings on rentals. Insiders often have access to members-only content on the Alamo website, which can include travel tips, advice, and destination guides.
  • One question that people who book Alamo car rentals in San Diego often ask is if they can take the car to another state. You can generally take an Alamo rental car from San Diego to another state within the United States. Always read your rental agreement carefully before taking the car out of state. Be mindful of any mileage limitations in your rental agreement. Some rental contracts come with a specific mileage allowance, and exceeding this limit can result in additional charges. Verify that your rental insurance coverage is valid in other states.
  • Renting a car with air conditioning in San Diego is important for several reasons. San Diego has summers that can be hot, with temperatures often exceeding 80–90 degrees Fahrenheit. Air conditioning provides relief from the heat, ensuring comfort during your travels. Traveling in a car without air conditioning in high temperatures can be extremely uncomfortable and even intolerable. Air conditioning keeps the interior of the vehicle at a pleasant and bearable temperature, making your journey more enjoyable.

Need to be honest with clients. When I picked up the vehicle I was offered to pay $8.00 dls and not need to worry to return the vehicle with a full tank of gas which I agreed to pay the $8 dls. After i returned it I noticed they charged me $98.00 dls extra for filling up the tank when i returned the car with a 3/4 of the tank full. I’m very disappointed with Alamo how they still money.Reviewed Jun 5 2024

Pros:Alamo was great. But it was my second choice, after my first choice -- some no name rental agency called Mex, selected initially via Kayak, which routed me through Rentcars.com -- was a friggin disaster. I landed at 6 pm, the time of my reservation, only to discover that the rental office was already closed. There was no one to help me, no number to call, no customer service from anyone in that chain, including Kayak. It was a friday evening at 6. I tried 4 other rental agencies; they were either out of cars or were asking insane amounts of $$ for them. I had to get a ride from the airport, and come back the next morning to rent from Alamo. (Which was great.)Cons:Alamo was great. Avoid Mex Rent a Car and Rentcars.com at all costs. No one picks up the phone at Mex and you can't leave a voicemail. The number for Rentcars doesn't work, and the email responses are all in Portuguese. I'm not kidding. Why Kayak continues to use these vendors is a mystery to me. Makes me reconsider my choice in travel apps.Reviewed Oct 13 2020

Pros:Staff was helpful in securing a gas discount for me when the car I reserved wasn’t available.Cons:Don’t oversell cars! If I book a pickup, giving me a dodge caravan minivan because you oversold pickup trucks isn’t providing excellent service.Reviewed Oct 4 2020
