Alamo couldn’t provide an economy, small, compact, and a fuel efficient car in accordance with my reservation. Instead, they provided a mid-size car with damaged rims that was extremely difficult and dangerous to drive on the narrowly mountainous roads. The check-in and check-out customer service was extremely slow and user-hostile.

Everything was perfect other than no navigation system in the van. But even that wasn't a big deal

Everything was exactly as expected and we even got a slightly bigger and nicer car.

Pick up takes too long. System should collect everything in advance so users can skip the counter and go to the pickup directly

Drop off was confusing. The car shifter is different than normal and we got no training on that. It was actually dangerous to drive until you got the hang of how to shift it.

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 car was not very clean at the back. But, the Alamo team fix it nicely. Good experience overall !
