Chicago

Originally booked a full-size SUV online, but they refused to provide one at the counter. They were very firm, only offering a small Dodge mini van. We had four people, three being women, and a lot of luggage. The reasons for booking a full-size SUV were for storage space and safety, as American roads are often either mountainous or desolate. Instead, they gave us a mini van. It was very disappointing. QEEQ's negotiation attempts were futile. The rental company only provided that one type of car. Before booking, I repeatedly confirmed with customer service that a full-size SUV would be available, and I paid in full. The difference in car models was significant. They didn't even offer a basic SUV. When dealing with QEEQ, they suggested alternatives like a Jeep Cherokee or Wrangler, which I would have accepted. After long discussions, the rental company still didn't offer even a Hyundai Santa Fe mid-size SUV. We wasted a lot of time, and my throat got dry from all the talking. We stood awkwardly in the rental office with no resolution. The rental company was very firm, and their manager just watched, making none of the staff willing to help. There was no sense of service, and it disrupted our plans, forcing us to change our hotel reservations.

Special transport provided, very convenient

Returning the car was very easy. There's no need to go to the counter; just follow the signs for 'rental car return' and drive to the Alamo location. Someone will wave you down to stop. They only check if the gas tank is full, then let you take their shuttle bus to the airport.

Very efficient and no pushy sales. They only suggested a bigger car after I mentioned we had many people and luggage. We rented a larger Buick Enclave, the extra cost was reasonable, and the car was nearly new and very comfortable to drive.

Check in desk was busy, whilst other desks were empty. Are Alamo just too good and get all the bookings?

THE BEST platform by a mile for booking car hire. You guys set the standards, I'm a multiple repeat satisfied customer, my only place to go.
