CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON ALAMO IN LONDON

Very satisfied

Overall quite satisfactory

The car rental company is very professional. The staff provides one-on-one service without excessive sales tactics. They explain the services offered upfront, so you can choose to purchase if needed without any hard sell. The price is still a bit higher compared to other European countries, but this is the UK, and it's somewhat understandable since everything is quite expensive here.

They kept pushing their store insurance, and if you didn't buy it, there was a £2000 fine, which made the experience nerve-wracking. The experience was poor, and instead of a Volvo, I got a Mitsubishi, which felt a bit unfair.

Convenient and clear instructions

Convenient, friendly, and attentive

First, the instruction to get the car from airport has no detail. I have to ask few people to get to the bus stop to the rental car (Heathrow airort terminal 2) Second, the staff do not have the model I rented (Nissan Qashqai Automatic). He try to sell the larger car (Manual transmission which I can drive). But the upgrade price is much higher than I have to pay for the Nissan Qashqai, so I decide to get the similar car that I booked. So finally I got the Vauxhall Grand Land manual transmission. I feel sort of tricky that they do not have the model I booked the car and prrovide the lower car type (manual) to me. I also talk to my friend about this, he also got the similar problem from Alamo that can not provide the model he book annd the staff try to sell the upgrade to other model. Third, I did use the road side assistant due to flat tyre. The response is quick and professional.

I like price drop protector.

When returning the car, there was a small tear in the tire. The staff wanted to withhold the deposit, but after negotiation, they consulted the manager. The manager said they would waive it if I wrote a good review online.

Be cautious of insurance upselling, the car condition is acceptable.

Quite a disorderly queue at the counter which was very busy.

This is not the car I booked at all. They gave me a small car that couldn't fit my luggage. They asked me to pay extra to upgrade to a bigger car, which I didn't do. So they gave me a manual car. This is ridiculous.

Pretty good

Staff was really helpful. vehicle had some issues such as the wiper falling off midway while driving but other than that, everything was great.

Platform was great and easy to use, especially as a diamond member.

The overall process was quite smooth

Pretty good. I picked up the car on the second day from a location just 10 minutes away from my hotel. The process was simple; I only needed a credit card and driver's license. They also asked for a translated copy of my driver's license. Overall, it was a good experience.
