San Francisco to Los Angeles via CA1

They kept pushing upsells—insurance, car upgrades, fuel fees, etc. I was talked into buying additional insurance by the front desk, even though it was only around 100 dollars, it was quite annoying. I thought the insurance included in my order was comprehensive, but their 'full insurance' was actually just an extra coverage similar to full insurance in other rentals. In the end, Alamo added another super coverage. This was the third Alamo I encountered during my trip at San Francisco airport, the previous two didn't ask these questions. Overall, the worst experience of this trip!

Very good

Not bad

Picking up the car was very convenient. I reserved a Grand Cherokee, but international rentals are based on the car model, so unfortunately, I didn’t get it. I ended up with a Ford Edge, which was a pleasant surprise as it was a seven-seater. This gave us much more room for our two kids. We had the car for nineteen days, and due to a change in our schedule, we extended it by one day, which cost around fifty dollars. The switch was incredibly fast, taking only a minute. I was very impressed with the efficiency of the car rental process in the U.S.

The pick-up process was a bit slow, but everything else was great.
