2.0 Poor
Cons:When I picked up the car around midnight right after my flight arrived, I was offered a manual though I reserved an automatic. Alamo did not have an automatic ready for me to rent. After going back and forth they offered a more expensive automatic but I had to exchange it in the morning around 9am, even after I said I had plans to head to the Pacific at 6am. They did not want me to keep the only sanitized and clean automatic they had available because it was more expensive than the one I reserved. They then decided to clean and sanitized an automatic car compatible to the one I had reserved. I had to wait another 30 minutes for this. I don’t even know if they actually sanitized the car since the workers responsible for this had left for the day. When they came back to do the paperwork after washing the car, more clients had arrived to rent cars, they accepted one person in their office without a mask. Not until I said something did they tell the person he needed to wear a mask. At this point more than an hour had passed. My 13 year old and I were exhausted from a long flight. While doing the paperwork I informed I had already paid through the reservation via Kayak $110 for the car insurance using Global Allianz. Alamo told me they did not accept Global Allianz for the car coverage and forced me to purchase their own insurance. I have sent a message to Global Allianz for a refund but have yet to receive a response. I was supposed to keep the car for 9 days. Due to this major inconvenience I ended up only keeping the car for 2 days. The price from Kayak when I reserved the car was $566 and Alamo was going to end up charging me $720, way outside of my budget. Overall the entire experience was horrible.

3.2 Poor
Cons:If you think your reservation is for 7 people and 3 luggage’s! Make sure it is only purses! We rented a car and the trunk space wouldn’t hold a backpack. Such a scam to upgrade to a bigger car and they tried to charge nearly triple the reservation price.
A
9.6 Wonderful
Pros:Staff were hospitable and very helpful, especially Ronny. Offered options but did not push anything. Really went right with the full insurance. Roads around Arenal were challenging and felt relieved to be fully insured.
A
8.0 Very good
Pros:Staff was superb
Cons:We wanted a jeep and got a Nissan we didn't like that much although it was oaky
A
9.6 Wonderful
Pros:Staff super friendly. HELD the reservation for almost 24 hours once our original flight was cancelled. Can't state enough what a LIFE SAVER this was for our trip. We had 6 passengers and needed a large SUV and I don't think there were any others available during the busy Xmas season. They literally SAVED OUR TRIP by holding that reservation for us...THANK YOU ALAMO!
Cons:Could have had a bit more room for luggage. It "seats 6" but honestly then there is zero room for luggage. We had to sit 2 in front, 3 in the middle any only 1 in back so that we could put down the seat for luggage in the back.
A
2.0 Poor
Cons:Broken keypod, car had lots of scraps, broken parts, emergency flashing lights went off in the night resulting in dead battery in the morning, overall very expensive rental for what was received.
A
10.0 Wonderful
Pros:10/10 would reccomend the Alamo in Belen near the San Jose Airport. Customer service was amazing, staff was super friendly and helpful, and facilities and cars are clean and well-maintained. We upgraded for a small extra amount per day and were so thrilled with our vehicle (Toyota Fortuner). Upon returning our car to Alamo at the end of our trip, we had no wait at all before our car was checked out, receipt confirmed, and our friendly driver dropped us off at the airport. Will absolutely be return customers for our next trip.
Cons:Everything was super!
G
4.0 Mediocre
Pros:staff made it very complicated to drop off the car at a different location then the place you rented it out. They were rude and charge a $50 USD fee to drop it off at a different location.
Cons:I went to drop it off two hours before I was supposed to in La Fortuna and no one was in the store! I waited close to an hour for the guy to come back.
