I had a reservations and was told by Juan that the inventory is not updated on the website and they had no cars available. He lacked customer interpersonal skills and was not very welcoming to myself or other customers. Perhaps training is needed considering working with the public. Customer service goes a long way. As a result, I rented with Alamo.

WHen your personal car is always as new who wants to pick up a dirty car? I asked the gentleman at the lot if he had a cloth and cleaner I was willing to do a mini clean at min the filthy dirty fingerprinted display, console and arm rests. It literally took over 30 minutes for him to dig it out of his trunk making it obvious why it wasn't used?

Completely overcharged after the upgrade car I asked for and reserved at a higher rate wasn’t available was given a lesser car at the same rate which was 3x what I would have paid had I just reserved the car they gave me. Staff couldn’t adjust blaming “dynamic pricing” which as someone in hospitality that’s not what that means.
