Vancouver - Banff - Jasper - Glacier National Park - Portland - Seattle - Vancouver

Convenient

Arrived in San Francisco at 9 AM, hardly any queue. Alamo still tried to upsell insurance, but once I clarified that I had already bought it through Zuzuche, they didn't push further.

Initially, they said they didn't have the model I wanted and gave me a smaller one. After my insistence, they brought the model I reserved.

Straightforward and convenient, no hard selling.

Like: I was particularly impressed at how quickly we went through the pickup process, especially given how huge the crowd was and how stressed the other customers looked. We used the self-checkout process at the SFO Alamo counter, and while the kiosk actually malfunctioned, this allowed a manager on duty to whisk us through the process in remarkably short time. We had no issues with the reservation, and we were even given a wide choice of cars to choose from in the parking deck, including even a pickup truck (despite that we'd reserved a compact car). The return process was equally smooth, efficient and utterly hassle-free.
