Picking up and returning the car was super easy. It was my first time driving by myself and basic English was enough to handle everything.

The rental company is very responsible.

The car pickup was fast, but they kept trying to upsell a vehicle upgrade.

Alamo's service is great and the prices are very affordable. The best part is that you don't need to pay in advance; you can pay at the store. Both picking up and returning the car were very quick, especially the return process, which only involved a brief check before we were on our way. Very good experience, will choose them again next time!

We booked a Jeep Grand Cherokee or similar model, but when we arrived, the staff said there were no Grand Cherokees available and gave us a Hyundai Santa Fe instead. However, we saw a Grand Cherokee parked at the exit. We specifically told customer service that we needed a car for Death Valley and Yosemite, but they didn't give us the Grand Cherokee and instead recommended an upgrade for an additional $30 per day, which we refused. On the way to Las Vegas, the weather was very hot, and the car's RPM would exceed 3000 every time we accelerated slightly, forcing us to stop frequently. Moreover, when climbing the eastern entrance of Yosemite, the car nearly didn't make it, with the RPM close to 4000, scaring us quite a bit. We've rented from NATIONAL and AVIS before; the cars were always in great condition and matched the models on the website. This time, the experience wasn't great, which might be a case of 'you get what you pay for'. Buying directly from the rental company's website is almost twice as expensive, so I accepted it. I won't choose ALAMO again.
