Beautiful Scenery on National Park Trip

The kiosk at the site required a lot of information to input, and halfway through it crashed, forcing us to go to the counter, which was very frustrating. When booking, we had purchased full insurance, but the counter staff insisted we didn't. It wasn't until we showed the English part of the insurance provided by the rental service that they finally accepted it. Additionally, we had selected the option to return the car with a full tank when booking, but the counter staff insisted we buy their fuel (empty tank return), saying it would cost extra to return it full and that their fuel prices were much higher. Not wanting to waste time, we agreed... only to find out the outside fuel prices were half of what the rental company charged. It was infuriating!! The counter staff was really terrible!!

They charged a lot of extra fees. Being abroad and not speaking the language, it would have been better to book on-site. I feel cheated and won't come back again!

1. I had reviewed the car pick-up points earlier, and if you opt for full prepayment and super insurance, the car rental company generally won't push you to buy additional insurance. Their service attitude was good; they only asked if I wanted to upgrade the car group, and the process was quick. 2. Compared to other car rental companies, Alamo offers better value. I rented an SUV, and it seemed to be the cheapest after comparison. 3. The instructions after the paperwork were very clear, just follow the directions. At the designated area, you can choose any car within the group, but the fuel type wasn't indicated on some cars, so I had to rely on the manual. 4. One downside was that although they say it's a full tank, it wasn't fully filled, and after a short drive, one bar was gone. I felt a bit shortchanged. 5. When picking up the car, the staff only mentioned that you can choose any car in the group, but didn't say much else. Make sure to check the vehicle's instruments, and if there's any problem, change cars immediately. Take photos of any scratches and inform the staff if possible; I couldn't find anyone, so I just took photos.

Near Las Vegas McCarran International Airport, there is a dedicated Rent car & Return area with a free shuttle bus connecting to the airport every 5 minutes throughout the day, which is very convenient. Inside the reception hall, different car rental companies have their counters, which are easy to identify. Alamo's counter is on the far left with three service desks. The staff is very warm, patient, and professional.

The process at the San Francisco airport branch was quick and straightforward. I booked an RV4 or Ford Escape class vehicle, and the pickup was very flexible—you could choose the car yourself in the garage. I opted for a JEEP, which was actually an upgrade at no extra charge since I had purchased the best insurance. On the third day in San Francisco, my car window was broken, and items were stolen while inside Golden Gate Park. After filing a police report, I contacted the rental company and immediately returned the car without any additional paperwork. The service was prompt and customer-friendly.
