Watch out for High Collision Coverage
Cons: Collision at the desk was $25/day vs $10 on the web. The agent said the office collision coverage was better but that wasn't clear. Also the drop off location is in Jackson and not at the airport requiring a shuttle .

Charged twice
Pros: I arrived at Bozemen ( Gallitin Airport ) to pick up the car. Nobody was at the Alamo desk so was served by the agent on the National desk.
Many people so everyone was in a hurry.
I was allocated a car which when I got to it I noticed it did not have a tonue bar in the boot. I returned to the desk and was told that they were not available on hire cars which I accepted.
When I arrived at my destination I checked the reciept to find I had been charged for CDW and supplementary Insurance. As I had already paid for Insurance as part of my package I contacted yourselves by phone.
I was told it would be put right and was given a Ref No. - 28091498 and that the desk at the airport would be informed prior to me returning the vehicle. On return the same " National " agent informed me that no message had been given, and took a report.
Could you please advise as to progress on my refund.

Extremely impolite service
Pros: I have experienced the extremely impolite employ, and he was the most unpleasant service representative i've met in my life. He even threated me that he will not tent us a car if he wants. unbelivable.

Beware the bait and switch scam
Cons: I've seen other comments on this tactic: I reserved a "Subaru Forester or similar" vehicle, and the rental counter offered a Ford F-150 pickup truck. Of course, my only other option was to upgrade to a Chevy Traverse SUV for an additional $30/day. There was no way I was driving a truck with very little weight over the rear drive axle on the snowy roads of Montana. Shame on Alamo for using this shabby ruse.

Reserve a full size, get a van!
Pros: The second customer service person I worked with was very helpful and friendly.
Cons: The first customer service person I had to deal with was very arrogant and un-helpful. I had reserved a full size car a month before I arrived and he gave me a mini-van (on the large-ish side). When I complained he said that it was an upgrade and the fuel economy was the same for a car and a mini-van

Great service in Belgrade
Pros: The car was great, the original pricing was good, the service in Belgrade was exceptional! The supervisor was quick to figure out our tax exempt status since we were a church group.
Cons: Every time I turned the car on, the "Oil Change" message would come on. There were a ton of cars on their lot and it was a bit challenging to find, but the panic button proved to be very helpful!

fair trade
Pros: We got a great low mileage mini van and it was perfect for our long trip. The budget counter person was very helpful and honest, as we got a mini van that was just returned. It wasn't cleaned and had less than a qtr tank but he told me about it up front and I was good with it.

Pros: The car was clean and comfortable and the staff was friendly.
Cons: The car wasn't as nice as I was expecting - and my definition wasn't really luxury. It's a $20k car.

Cons: They rented another reservation right out from under me because I wasn't at there desk within two hours of the time I said. I ended up having to drive a uhaul to Denver instead. Poor customer service and no desire to fix it. The van they gave us had some of the worst tires I've ever seen. Won't ever rent with thrifty again.

Pickup and drop off challenges but still good valu
Pros: The price for full size rental
Cons: Had to wait 40 minutes for a car to be available. Return location in rental return not well marked. Asked some one from another company where the thrifty spots were but never found a row with a sign and finally just parked in an open space. So price was worth the extra time if you have flexibly in your schedule but not if you are in a hurry.

Inconvenient drop off and pick up locations
Pros: The service this was well staffed, the staff members were efficient and friendly.
Cons: They did not have a wide range of vehicles (we rented an SUV) and it was a long outdoor walk to pick up the vehicle from the lot, and an even longer walk to drop off the vehicle. This is not at all convenient given that we had an infant and was rather cold.

Age and wear and features
Pros: Car had 50000 miles on it and showed the wear. We rented two vehicles and received this one the Ford Expedition. And a suburban. There was no comparison in features of the expedition and the suburban the ford was far inferior
Cons: Not pleased with the one of the two vehicles. The ford was no where equal in features and size. Very disappointed that the cost was the same for both. Definitely not a good deal.

Pros: One rental good the other not so much. Same rate for both rentals, but absolutely not equal vehicles. Ace needs to reevaluate.
Cons: We rented two vehicles. Both were charged the same rate. One a Chevy Suburban the other a Ford Expedition. No comparison. The Ford was not equal and should never have been the same rate. The Suburban had video, auto tailgate lift and other features.

Avis came through with a car that would fit our needs
Pros: The Avis agent was very responsive to our concerns. He found a backup vehicle, which although did no go through cleaning after the last rental (he stated that and we accepted ), was large enough and comfortable enough to meet our needs. You'll see our complaint in the "Didn't like" category. After a few anxious moments in the Bozeman airport rental counter, we were very pleased with the eventual outcome.
Cons: When we rented a car, the advertisement stated that it would be a premium vehicle (Lincoln MKS or equivalent). Since I own an MKS, I knew what to expect. At the rental counter we were rented a Volkswagen Passat, which is nowhere the size and comfort level of the MKS. I know someone puts these two vehicles in the same class based on some criteria, but I assure you THEY ARE NOT. The Passat does not have the head room, leg room, hip room etc. we required. We could not tolerate 2 weeks in that vehicle comfortably. Please review your list of criteria prior to categorizing a vehicle.
