Book Alamo car hires in Las Vegas

Pros: The Nissan Sedan was a very nice looking, roomy, and clean compact car. It was the perfect size for the three of us and our luggage.

Cons: Alamo stop using deceptive practices in the name of profit. I am still upset by the bait and switch tactic that I received at Alamo’s check-in counter. I was told by Alamo’s representative that they no longer had the “compact” car that I reserved online...a picture of a Nissan sedan. The man showed me a computer screen of the car that was available, listed under “compact”...a picture of a Nissan hatchback. The vehicle was clearly much smaller in size and had a reduced trunk area. It looked like an economy car (good on gas mileage but tight on space). The gentleman suggested that I do the $11 a day up-grade for a larger vehicle; which, he claimed, he was reducing from $20 a day. I told the man that I expected to pay $440 for a one-week car rental and could not pay more. I politely said, “no thank you” four times to the same up-grade question, before he would let me sign the rental car contract and send me on my way to get the car. When I got to the car rental pick-up garage I handed the paperwork to a lady. She looked at it and then pointed to three parked Nissan sedans. She told me I should pick out the one I wanted to drive. The car I reserved, as pictured online, was there. How many other rental car companies use the same deceitful practice to rip off the consumer???
