Los Angeles - Carmel - Gilroy - San Jose

I booked a Cherokee, but they didn't have one available and refused to upgrade. After insisting, they finally gave me a low-end model that wasn't four-wheel drive.

This is my second time renting from Alamo. Picking up and returning the car was very convenient, the vehicle was in good condition, and the trip was very enjoyable.

Rented from Alamo for the second time, good service. I brought my own GPS, so I didn't need their recommendation.

There are many cars and they are all quite new. The process of picking up and dropping off the car is simple and convenient. The only downside is that the shuttle wait time from Los Angeles airport to the rental center is a bit long.

Anything over 30 days rental is a nightmare with Alamo. For 66 days hire it ended up being 3 separate rentals. 3 days before car return an abusive email sent regarding my expired debit card and the need to return it to a location ASAP as it was no longer a valid rental. Closest Alamo 2 1/2 hours away. Customer Service also very unhelpful. Wouldn’t take a valid cc over phone or via email yet that is how I booked it all in the first place. Eventually after 2 days of abuse and being told the car would be listed as stolen, given an Enterprise location 30 minutes away. The very first conversation if told I could go to an Enterprise not Alamo location would have avoided all of this as would it have been if I was advised of the issue when the new rental kicked in 4 days before being notified when I was at an Alamo location. Certainly didn’t appreciate being told to take the car back to Los Angeles when I was 21/2 hours north east of San Francisco. I don’t know whether it is a California thing, but lack of service and rudeness seems the norm as well as abuse especially when I speak perfect English but they don’t care and “what” being yelled at me takes up most of the conversation which they then just make up what they want.

Excellent service and total ease of booking. excellent comprehensive information regarding pickup etc and advising prior that Alamo May require the rental to be split as over 30 days.
