CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON ALAMO AT ISTANBUL AIRPORT, IST

Alamo was great, very efficient! Excellent service and friendly staff!

The store's service is quite good.

Not good

Picking up the car was very smooth, but returning it at night was difficult as we couldn't find the location. We had to park the car outside the airport departure hall as instructed for returning the vehicle. We hoped the car rental staff would come and drive the car away, but they insisted we drive to the parking lot behind their office, pointing fervently in that direction. Driving from the departure hall to the indicated parking lot involved many intersections, which seemed easy for them but took us quite a lot of time. It was very stressful as our flight was about to take off.

It took a long time because initially they said we'd get a Nissan Qashqai, but then kept trying to switch us to a Renault. Only when I said I wanted to cancel the order did they give us a Mercedes GLA. Sigh, exhausting.

Almost no queue

Very good

Very good service attitude

The charge list after returning the car didn't specify the speeding fine, which made me think it was an unexplained charge, so I applied for after-sales service. Everything else was great, and the pickup and return processes were smooth.

Firstly, this company is impossible to find within the airport as it's affiliated with another company. I had to ask several people before I finally realized it was right in front of me. The paperwork processing was very slow, and then they took me to the parking lot to get the car, which was about a 5-8 minute drive. The parking lot was massive and chaotic, with cars from many companies parked haphazardly. The car they gave us wasn't even cleaned properly, and I had to wait nearly an hour outside to complete the formalities (which didn’t match the car I had booked). When I requested a replacement car, they said there was none available, only this one. It was truly awful. When returning the car, I drove to the airport, called the company, and someone came to pick it up 5 minutes later.

Easy to find
