Burlington Car Rentals

Cons: Cost is a lie!

Cons: Actual car was very cramped and uncomfortable. Much smaller than the car I anticipated. Beside the fact it was new, I didn't care for it at all.

Cons: I had no instructions on how the newer automobiles work. I had to try and figure out what things were and how to use and find things. Also, I had no idea how to get from Greensboro airport to Asheville, NC. Our daughter-in-law hand wrote instructions from her phone so that we could find our way.

Cons: When I went to pick the car up, they told me that I needed to provide them with a credit card in order to be able to rent the car. Other car rental companies don't require this and while this requirement was stated in the fine print (which many people don't read), I feel that Alamo owes it to their customers to clarify this requirement in large print when you are about to make the reservation. I offered to provide a credit card number, exp. date and security code, but was told that the actual credit card needed to be presented. I had to rent last minute with Avis, who do not require credit cards. it ended up costing about twice as much.

Cons: When I dropped off my car, the charge was nearly twice too high. For some reason, my Alamo reservation was handled by the Enterprise office. They said my car was supposed to be returned in San Antonio, not Austin. Fortunately I had my original booking with me, which showed otherwise. They fixed the price for me, and they said the problem was Kayak had given them the incorrect reservation information.

Cons: I tried to change my reservation online after I had picked up the car. It did not work well. So I had to call the airport location - which amended my reservation to my liking. Also the drop off fee for about 400 miles in the same state was enormous. This also was not broken out in the overall fee. In short, execution of the contract over the life of the contract was lacking.

Cons: There were many customers waiting for service during both pick up and drop off. This may have been the rush hour (closing time Satursday and then weekday rush hour).

Cons: poor color selection at Greensboro.
