Picking up the car was very convenient. The reserved XC60 was unavailable and required a transfer, but the front desk staff asked me if I would like a free upgrade to a BMW 4 Series.
A brand-new car with 7,000 km was provided, and the return process was simple—just a quick inspection. The deposit was refunded the next day. Overall, French drivers are very rule-abiding, so as long as your skills are above average and you don't speed, there's no need to buy additional insurance!
I was informed that the assigned car had some scratches on the front and back, but the rental company said they were aware of it and it was fine. I found the vehicle acceptable. No staff accompanied me for the vehicle inspection during pickup, so I checked the car myself and recorded a video. However, the scratch on the front windshield, which was difficult for users to notice and not visible in the video, was not pointed out or detected during pickup. I noticed the scratch after leaving the lot on the same day but didn't pay much attention because it was small. During drop-off, the inspector immediately pointed it out and demanded compensation for the front windshield, stating that any damages discovered after leaving the lot could not be used as proof of non-responsibility. I was asked to pay €85 on the spot, and I had no choice but to comply. However, I later received an email claiming that €85 wasn't enough and that an additional €800+ was required. Choose carefully! This Alamo, National, and Enterprise branch in Paris appear to be operated as a single entity.
The service was terrible. We waited for 1.5 hours for the car. They said we could get a discount for waiting so long, but in the end, there was no discount. They claimed our prepayment couldn't be processed. Ridiculous! They also pushed us to buy insurance - and we didn't even understand it. We had already bought full coverage. In the end, we paid 105 euros for three days! Strongly recommend not renting from Alamo. Sixt is clearly much better.
Alamo nous a refusé la location de voiture. Nous avons dû annuler notre week-end à Anvers. Nous avons perdu l’argent de la location de l’hotel. Je vais vous envoyer un courrier de demande de remboursement de la location de voiture.
