When picking up the car, the counter staff still tried to sell insurance and suggest an upgrade to a larger car. After repeatedly refusing, I finally got the car! At the pickup, I took the contract and went to the designated car area to choose the vehicle myself. Any car parked in that area was available for selection. Nobody inspected the car with me, so you need to be cautious. However, the selection was vast, with significant differences among the options. Take your time to look around!

The rental store near Los Angeles Airport is a few kilometers from the airport. If there is no traffic, it takes just a few minutes to get there. We encountered peak traffic and it took us over ten minutes to get there. We arrived at 9 PM with over ten people in line, and it took about half an hour before it was our turn. The car rental process was completed in about ten minutes, with no upselling or hidden charges. You can choose between different brands within the same class when picking up the car in the parking lot. We opted for a Hyundai Santa Fe, which was larger than the originally booked RAV4. Returning the car was almost hassle-free; simply drive to the designated location, hand over the key, take the receipt, unload your luggage, and you're good to go. It was very convenient! Next time I am in the USA, I will definitely choose ALAMO for car rental again.

I booked a Jeep Grand Cherokee, but the parking lot didn’t have any and the other comparable models weren’t appealing. Even though I can accept other models of the same level, the selected one was the most attractive at the time of booking. Most SUVs don't have a luggage cover, so if you leave luggage in the car in outdoor parking for extended periods, the risk is higher in certain areas. The car rental companies I previously booked all provided a luggage cover.

Great, easy car selection, and the car was in excellent condition!

Alamo's service was excellent, from the bus driver's assistance to the quick and easy car exchange process. The car's condition was particularly impressive and pleasantly surprised us.
