I was charged extra fees in addition to what I had paid and was expected to be charged and I have no understanding what those charges are for and don’t believe I should be billed what I have been billed so now I’m going to have to go back and fight those charges, which is extra time and energy and frustration that I did not expect. I am very disappointed.

I wasn’t able to rent! They call me and send a message that they don’t have a car for me . It was stressful considering that happened just on the night before. I needed the car in the mid morning to travel from Chicago to Detroit because I had an appointment that day. I had to find another agency to rent a car and considering I needed for the next day and I was complicated.

Pick up took an hour, but it was a busy day during what I imagine is a very busy season. However, what was unacceptable was that the car had clearly been smoked in by the last user and the smell lingered. Additionally it was only half full with gas when I picked it up

Confirmation quoted $304 to pay at pickup. The agent charged me $504 (security deposit and price of rental). As I was not prepared to pay that much at pickup, my credit card was declined. Had they been honest about the payment due at pickup I would have made sure I had enough on my card. Additionally, they refused to take a debit card even under extenuating circumstances and left me and my friend stranded the day of my sister’s wedding rehearsal.

I forgot to ask about the Toll usage, that could have been explained with options available. However overall experience was great. Customer service was fantastic. Specifically I would like to highlight the almo rep at the pickup location, Sidnei, who was extremely helpful and provided amazing service to pick up the car. Upon dropping off the car at MSP, I was met by James from Alamo who was fantastic at receiving my rental drop-off and provided service with a great smile. All thanks to the staff at Alamo. Great experience.!
