Alamo doesn't have an office in Rivas but they brought the car from San Juan del Sur to San Jorge. Very helpful employees. Drop off in Managua was also very fast.

Pros:

The car was quite new.

Cons:

First, the car was not available on the requested time. I didn’t receive any warning or notification, so I had to wait for 3 hours near the branch to get the car. Then, I was told that it was possible to return the vehicle at Managua Airport at 8:30pm. When I had to call Alamo to add a second driver on the way back to Managua, I was told by Alamo employee that nobody would be at that branch on the requested time, that I should return on the following day and pay an extra night. I had a bus leaving from Managua at 6am on the following day, so I had to pay for nothing and leave the car there at 5am. It was my second big issue with Alamo in Nicaragua, apparently they lie about return options to charge you more
