CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON ALAMO IN FRANKFURT

Since I paid in full on the QEEQ platform, both picking up and returning the car were very convenient.

The staff tried very hard to sell insurance at pick-up. They were unhappy when I didn't buy it and tried to scare me about potential high costs if the car had any issues. There were very few car models available, much worse than Alamo in the US.

After getting off the plane, I had to wait almost an hour to complete the paperwork and get the car. I had already reserved a child seat online, but the rental company didn’t prepare it. When I went to pick up the car, I had to wait another half an hour for the seat. Finally, they gave me the seat, but they didn’t help with installation and there were no instructions provided.

Pretty good

I paid the full rental amount in advance, but the store charged me again without any notice. They provided no receipt and didn't inform me. This is very unprofessional. They promised to refund the extra charges to my credit card within 6-7 days, but they never did. Picking up the car was also troublesome. They said the pre-booked car was unavailable, and the provided car was too small for my luggage. It took about 15 minutes of communication to resolve this. However, I was satisfied with the car I eventually received.

When we picked up the car, we clearly told the staff that we had already purchased the additional full insurance and did not need to buy it again. The staff wrote the rental agreement very poorly and we couldn't make out the details. When returning the car, we were informed that we had been charged for the full insurance. They told us to call their service phone number to resolve the issue, as such matters are not handled on site. Since we were in a hurry to catch a flight, we had no choice but to accept. Very unsatisfied, will not rent from this company again. Will prefer to rent from bigger companies like Hertz, even if it costs more.

The process is quite similar to other countries.

I was upsold full insurance multiple times during pickup, even after informing them I already bought it domestically. It was irritating and I couldn't drive at ease throughout the trip.
Otherwise, everything was great, convenient, and fast. I originally booked a manual wagon and paid an extra 10 euros to upgrade to an automatic Jaguar. It was a new car, and cars abroad get updated quite quickly.

It's okay!

Alamo and Enterprise share the same location, but in Frankfurt, their office is separate from other rental companies, which took some time to find. The front desk service was good, fast, and convenient; the process was simple. However, the staff tried to sell me damage insurance for damages under 1000 euros twice, despite me telling them I had already purchased insurance through another platform. They insisted they were not aware of it and made me sign a waiver. They offered me a Kia instead of the reserved car. After multiple discussions, they said it was the only model available and since I had to drive over 200 kilometers at night to another city, I had no choice. The car was new with only about 200 kilometers on the odometer.

Service varies from person to person, but overall, each experience has been good.

We used the certification on QEEQ and it was accepted there, very convenient!

Very convenient

When picking up the car, many things were not communicated clearly, and there were issues contacting the rental company. We picked up the car at Frankfurt Airport and were told we had to pay even though we had already paid in full in our home country. The representative said they couldn't find the payment on the system. After calling the rental company and sending some pictures, the issue was resolved. They mentioned a fee of five euros per day for additional drivers and a cross-border fee, which was acceptable. However, when returning the car, they said the payment was incomplete. Besides the additional driver and cross-border fees, there was a 21% tax, totaling 389 euros. After contacting the rental company again, we finally paid 329 euros. This process was quite unreliable, even if the rental price was relatively cheap. Can't the rental company standardize their operational procedures?

No child seat as promised

Consistently high cost performance

We arrived at the store early, so there was no queue. We processed the rental procedures directly. Although they mentioned additional insurance, when we said we didn't need it, they didn't push it on us.

An excellent self-driving trip

I was scammed for 6800 RMB. Terrible experience, they never responded to my complaints. Before paying they were very attentive, but once they had my credit card, I was at their mercy.
