I was given a smaller car than the one I reserved. Don’t fall into the same trap, it feels like this maybe a standard ploy. It was too small for the number of passengers and bags but when I returned to the Alamo desk it had closed for the night so we had an extremely uncomfortable 2 hour journey. The Alamo staff at the desk had tried to make out that the car I was given was the same size by showing me a picture on a screen - in reality it was considerably smaller and it was dishonest of them to suggest that it was an appropriate alternative for the car I reserved. My booking was for a Renault Espace or equivalent; the car provided was an Opel Grandland with a luggage capacity of 1624 litres versus 2224 litres for the espace. Worse was to follow. When I tried to phone the Zurich airport Alamo office using any of the numbers provided or available online, there was no answer, simply an automated message saying no agents were available. I emailed and raised ticket enquiries through the website which were finally answered 3 days later and when I ended up physically returning the car for a larger one the correct size (a 4 hour round trip) the customer service agent was surly, telling me that she had served me originally and that I had agreed to take the car she offered. A truly appalling experience but must shocking of all is the lack of contact ability post hire and the sheer rudeness / lack of apology from the staff. Awful.

The drop off agent was exceptional. The pickup process was poor. One agent with 6 people in que. one customer took 15 minutes. Finally two additional agents stepped in. Accelerated fast check in did not work for me. Car had a lot of minor scratch marks which I don’t care about other than concern of being charged. The biggest issues is after 10 minutes of leaving I received a low fuel notification and had to find a gas station. I was expecting a full tank.

It was great, except when i was exited with my vehicle, one of the agent was very disrespectful and underestimate me as a customer. when i was leaving with my own vehicle he dare to tell me that was not my vehicle he questioned that i was leaving with Alamo vehicle even though i presented my registration. However, i was with my daughter and i was in a good mood i did not start a scene.

Easy to pick up and return. They also suggested me to pay a little more so I don’t have filled it with gas when I return the car. I accepted this offer and I payed for that because I hate to have more stress on my last day looking for a gas station to fill it up. You never know if you are going to have the time to do that. I usually are worried about getting to the airport and not losing my flight. What could have been better? To provide more instructions when returning the car. Using Google Maps I found out how to drive and return the car. But it could help to have a drawing of the building showing where do I drive in and what I will see going in there. Google Maps help a lot but doesn’t provide a foto of the entrance to return cars. Also, I saw a lady backing up her car away from the “scary metal blades that could destroy the tires”. If you provide a picture of that telling that it is okay to enter with your car and drive over those blades when returning the car, that would help a lot of people that are not familiar with these things.
