The staff asked if I wanted to pay extra to upgrade the car model. I firmly refused but was still given a four-door car in the end. The practice of trying to get customers to upgrade when no two-door cars are available greatly diminishes my impression of the company.

The service was quite good, and compared to other companies, Alamo offers decent value for money. The same model is cheaper than some well-known companies. The vehicle condition was also good. When I arrived, there was a row of cars, at least five or six to choose from freely. But usually, it's just a matter of picking the appearance and color. Haha.

In Hawaii, ALAMO is better overall. They have up-to-date GPS, newer cars, and well-maintained vehicles, much better than DOLLAR!

The car was very new, with only over 500 miles on it. The condition was excellent.

At the Alamo car rental point on the Big Island, we were attended to by a female staff member. While her demeanor was consistently polite, she engaged in a somewhat intimidating manner of sales. There were three main upsells: first, the car model. She quickly realized that upselling to a larger model was impractical given our group size, so she moved on quickly. Second, the insurance. This was the most uncomfortable part for me as the website clearly states that it includes $20,000 in third party liability insurance. However, the saleswoman insisted that my reservation did not include this insurance. Instead, she claimed that if there were any third-party injuries or property damage, Alamo would only lend me $10,000 for compensation, which I would need to repay. She even mentioned that Chinese agents deceive consumers. Although I couldn't tell which side was truthful, it's clear that one must be lying. Please, clarify this matter further. She also tried to scare me with statistics about high traffic accidents and compensation amounts on the Big Island to sell me a full coverage package. Thirdly, she tried to sell me a tank of fuel, again using a scare tactic by saying the nearest gas stations to the airport are very far. However, I found a gas station quite close to the airport on my way back, and even after filling up, the fuel gauge still showed full when I returned the car.
