I was not able to pick up my car. My credit card information was already in my profile but my physical credit card was safe at home. I had my digital cards on my phone but was not able to complete my transaction, leaving me without a car. I had my driver's license, which matched the address, license number, charge card number - which matched my digital card - on file in reservation in the system. The only thing that I did not have was the physical card. Even more frustrating, the agent was unable to show me in any of their policies that a physical card was required for pick up, but, according to him, it was there. I looked on my own and was unable to find a physical card requirement but was still refused a vehicle. I was in town for 2 days to attend a funeral. Pulled up the online obituary, which listed my name matching my driver's license and was still refused. Flew in the day of and missed the evening service. This absolutely sucked,Reviewed Jan 10 2026

Absolutely disgraceful. On arrival I was asked to hand over my license & credit card. After a minute of tapping on her computer the Alamo representative said “we haven’t got a car for you”. Apparently they’d ran out & she said they didn’t have enough for people who’d booked months ago let alone me ( who’d booked the day before. I asked what I was supposed to do. She said “I don’t know” She also told me that they had tried calling me but I had no missed calls or voicemails. Thankfully Avis helped me.Reviewed Jan 5 2026

They abandoned their spot at the airport when I was supposed to pick up a car. I then had to spend extra from another competitor and got a smaller vehicle, which was not adequate for our needsReviewed Dec 31 2025
