I got there and found out about a policy change that they had NOT made clear anywhere. Specifically, you’re no longer allowed to rent using your debit card. I had paid a $70 deposit beforehand which I was told was nonrefundable. So I wasted $70 and an entire day for absolutely nothing!

I had a great experience renting from Alamo. I would rent with again.
The employees were very friendly and noticed right away that our selection of vehicle was not right for our needs. The young lady then showed us other options and we were out of there in 10 minutes. I was grateful for that.

I rented the car through priceline. The total cost given to me through priceline was significantly less than when I picked up the car at the Calgary location. They had every excuse they could think of to justify the price but fact is, it was quite a bit more. The calgary pickup location is unorganized. There drop off in red deer was great. Overall, $224 to use a car for 150kms and less than 24hours was excessive.

I have reserved a standard SUV, Hertz did not have a standard SUV available and they provided a van. I specifically wanted a four wheel drive and the van is not a four wheel drive. The big problem is I have been mislead by the Herts agent who told me they will give me a discount but in the end I was charged more than I was supossed to be charged on the standard SUV.
The vehicle was good. They charged outrageous amount for gas. We used the vehicle for 1 day and charged over $100. We used $25 Not happy about not getting some money reimbursed

Check-in process was very long and price paid at the counter was double what I was expecting. Very unpleasant and I was never emailed a receipt like I was promised. The car wasn't even wiped down (maybe only vacuumed). Not impressed and will be reaching out to support to resolve this matter.

Pickup was very poor. The staff at the front desk were very nice and professional. The problems began when selecting and picking up the car. We were asked to check the condition of a black car in an closed garage with poor lighting. Next to impossible. Then you have to show the problems to an agent who has some sort of screen to look further. About a dozen people were all leaving at once and so it took the better part of an hour from being shown the car to actually leaving the airport. Once we got it out into the light it was obvious we had missed a scratch. Upon dropping off, the process was very fast. However I wasn't given a receipt, and the one promised to my email never came. So now I have to chase it down. The car itself was otherwise fine, and was problem free.

They did not have the Rent-A-Car. I reserved when I arrived to pick it up. I was told there were no cars available whatsoever. That left me completely stranded at the airport. I was then offered a vehicle that was an upgrade for an additional $50 a day, but they would not approve my secondary driver because it was an upgraded vehicle. My entire trip was based on renting a vehicle with two drivers. I was going to stay and the secondary driver was going to return the vehicle back to the Calgary airport. Because the car was not available for us. I had to drive eight hours to return the car. I will never rent from dollar/thrifty/Hertz again.

Pick up from and to airport was good. Everything was satisfactory. My only initial disappointment was I signed up for managers choice SUV and got a Nissan Kicks which is not an SUV albeit AWD. Was brand new though and fun to drive so I was ok with it. Also I’m not sure there was any info prior to stating that prices were low because some personal insurance may or may not cover you. I was glad ICBC did cover me, so that was a relief. I forgot to fill up before return as I was tight on time to catch flight. Only used maybe a quarter tank over the rental time so it appears that my balance showing zero owing was received. That I did appreciate and may consider Routes again.

First, I needed justify my request to have a snow brush, before I received one. Then I needed to clean the inside of the windshield, because sticky debris on it impacted my vision. (Both issues are recurring with this company) When I returned the car, a filled up gas tank suddenly showed it was only 90% full. I drove around in a unfamiliar area trying to top up the tank, only to find out the tank was full, but the gas gage did not reflect this. I went through this twice until I realized it wasn't user error, but something wrong with the fuel gage. This also put me over the 200 km daily limit. I explained all this and showed them my gas receipts. I was told not to worry, and encouraged to write a positive review on Google, which I did. Once I was at home, I received a bill for extra km and service fees! Dealing with this company is aggravating and really only worth during times of significant discounts.

The car was front wheel drive and didn’t have snow tires. Christmas in Calgary without snow tires is dangerous. The car was not properly equipped. They wouldn’t do anything about it as it’s a small facility and they had limited cars. Won’t be renting from them again.

STAY AWAY!!! The car was advertised with unlimited miles when booking. At the rental station they said that they have their own policy and only allow 200km/day. Even after opening a claim that was not changed. Additionally, very slow pickup process and every person that was with me at the rental station in Calgary had either issues with the KM, out of province policy or insurance policy. TOTAL RIP OFF
