London to Oxford to Dover to Oxford to Airport

The service attitude at the store was pretty good, there were no upsells, and there was no waiting in line. However, we were very dissatisfied with the handling of the accident aftermath. The accident was entirely the other party's fault, yet they still charged us £1500 when returning the car. It's been over three months since we returned home and we have yet to get our money back, with the excuse that the other party’s insurance has not compensated them.

This is not the car I booked at all. They gave me a small car that couldn't fit my luggage. They asked me to pay extra to upgrade to a bigger car, which I didn't do. So they gave me a manual car. This is ridiculous.

This is my fifth time renting a car abroad, and I've never encountered such a rogue and deceitful rental company! Be very careful! Firstly, if your English isn't fluent, the sales staff will speak very quickly to push insurance. I understand that, but even after refusing multiple times, they persisted. Secondly, they pushed the FUEL SERVICE OPTION. I had never come across this before, so I repeatedly confirmed if it was a pre-authorization and if returning the car with a full tank meant I'd get a refund. The sales staff assured me it was, but despite returning the car with a full tank, I didn't get a refund and was charged much more than the contract amount for no apparent reason. Later, I found out that it is indeed an additional service. However, rental platforms also say they can't restrain individual fraudulent behavior without a recording. So next time, make sure to record everything! Relying on the platform won't solve the problem! Lastly, in the restroom of this rental company, my mother overheard employees openly mocking and ridiculing Chinese people, saying they know nothing and laughing loudly. While we were picking up the car, another family was arguing with the staff over unclear charges. It's better to choose another company. Do not rent from Alamo in the UK! I've rented from them in the US and Canada before without issues, but in the UK, be very cautious!

The car rental service was pretty good.

They knew we had bought all the insurances back home but still pushed their local insurance on us! We said we already paid the deposit, but they claimed they didn't see it. In the end, we had to buy their so-called full insurance out of fear, even though we had already paid over a thousand as a deposit on the car rental website! Terrible!! Garbage!!
