Excellent

The rental location is right near the airport, less than a five-minute walk. We went the wrong way and wasted a bit of time, but luckily it was late, so there weren’t many people, and there was no need to queue. When picking up the car, the domestic rental company repeatedly reminded us to check if the American company added insurance. I specifically checked, and the company was very straightforward. They saw I had bought insurance domestically and did not try to sell any additional insurance. Returning the car was also convenient. We returned it at a different location, and it was hassle-free—just needed a receipt from the rental office. Fortunately, we kept ours. Moreover, this company didn’t require a deposit. The previous company required a $100 deposit to cover potential violations or damages. Maybe it was because we had comprehensive insurance this time. They mentioned that even minor scrapes would be handled by the insurance company, so there's no need to worry at all.

The car had 30,000 kilometers on it and was in good condition. The gentleman at the counter was very friendly and returning the car was very convenient.

The middle-aged man at the store kept pushing the additional liability insurance. Although he made some sense, I explained that I had already purchased travel insurance, including supplementary liability insurance, from PICC in China. However, he kept insisting and questioning in a very annoying and confrontational manner. It was really unpleasant.

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.
