Road Trip Within 200 km Radius

There were cars available in the same group but they only offered them after charging extra.

Very convenient, you can choose the car you like, and the service is very friendly! The key is that the car is very easy to drive!

I am very satisfied with ALAMO in most aspects, but the professionalism of the counter staff at this branch was disappointing. Here are the details: As soon as I entered the store, I saw the model I had reserved--the Grand Cherokee. However, when handling the paperwork at the counter, the staff told me that this model was unavailable and recommended the Cadillac SRX instead, claiming it was a better car but would cost an additional $600 (more than 50% of my total rental cost). I immediately mentioned that I saw a Grand Cherokee at the entrance, but the staff then told me that it was the luxury version, at the same level as the SRX, and could not be counted as the model I had reserved (I really do not understand why the rental price should vary based on the configuration of the same brand). Despite my multiple arguments, he still could not rent me the Grand Cherokee at the entrance, so I had to proceed with paperwork for a different model similar to the Grand Cherokee. However, when I got to the parking lot, the staff responsible for handing over the car pointed to the Grand Cherokee I saw earlier and said, 'This is the one.' I could hardly believe it and confirmed again, 'Is it this one?' He affirmed, 'Yes, it is.' This really made me furious, but considering it was nearly midnight, I decided not to argue with the counter clerk and happily drove off in my ideal model--the Grand Cherokee, completing my 15-day self-drive trip in the US. The Grand Cherokee I rented was a 3.6L V6 (which should be the mid-range model of the Grand Cherokee; I saw many Chinese tourists driving high-end 4WD Grand Cherokees, and I'm not sure if they were renting the same type of car or if their rental prices were similar). I was very satisfied with the car's appearance, space, newness, and power, which added an unforgettable impression to my trip in the US.

The car seemed to have an electrical fault of sorts - we were worried it would break down a few times! The vehicle was relatively clean but there were lots of window smudges on the inside and out, and there wasn’t much washer liquid left to clean them. They seem to add on a lot of additional charges at the counter which aren’t particularly well advertised when you book it. We ended up spending as much at the front desk as we paid to originally hire the car so it ended up being twice as expensive as we thought it would be.

Quick and easy customer services

Avoid ALAMO, only use If the price is rock bottom and you don't mind shabby service. My booking as indicated by Alamo, clearly showed 'Ford Expedition' or Similar. Went to collect one of the many Expeditions in the lot, and was told I would need to pay extra to upgrade to the Expedition, despite it being on their paperwork already...

This is a good firm to use, I will look at other rental firms through this broker :)
