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.

The staff at the store were dedicated, responsible, and enthusiastic. They provided detailed information about the car condition, vehicle usage, breakdown alerts, and driving tips in the US. Renting a car in the US is very common, but the rental process itself is quite interesting and enjoyable!

It was great this time, self-service car pick-up and self-service car exchange.

We did not get the vehicle we paid for. Was told they gave it to another party. Manager said he was fix the price and give us an additional 25 percent off. After we returned car they told us they could not do what the previous manager said. This was not our fault and we are asking for a refund. We were told one thing and another thing happened. We would like this resolved in a reasonable manner.
