Waited for a long time in line. We had booked for a Hybrid but were told that they do not carry any hybrids but were extremely rude about it. The counter staff was very very rude as if she had some personal grouse and was taking it out on the customers.
It was quite irritating to wait for bus taking you to rental company and back to airport. The bus frequency with comparison with other companies was very very rare.
The foreign staff pushed too much insurance, and I didn’t understand the language well. They also tried to sell me a navigation service for several hundred dollars. I have no idea what else they were selling. The rental fee was $296.2, but I ended up paying $1097.63, most likely all due to insurance. Since I didn't understand the language, I had no choice but to accept everything. Next time I rent a car, please have the rental company staff remain silent and follow the booking details from the platform directly for Chinese customers. Is it possible for the rental company to have Chinese-speaking staff for Chinese customers?

About Rental 24h:4.7/10
Office was closed at 10:30am. I was approached by a man & told to go to In-n-Out burger down the block to wait for the man to take people back to LAX. THey had only one person working the counter & it was him. It took me more than 1.5 hours to get my car. The rear passenger door was dented badly & the door would not close. When I opened the door the rubber seal fell on my head. I have photos. They tried to charge me over $86.00 & then put a $300 hold on my charge. When I told the man that I was going to call the attorney general if he charged me more than $86, he changed the price but I guess then that's why I got a car in poor condition. I want a refund.

About Alamo:8.7/10
Anything over 30 days rental is a nightmare with Alamo. For 66 days hire it ended up being 3 separate rentals. 3 days before car return an abusive email sent regarding my expired debit card and the need to return it to a location ASAP as it was no longer a valid rental. Closest Alamo 2 1/2 hours away. Customer Service also very unhelpful. Wouldn’t take a valid cc over phone or via email yet that is how I booked it all in the first place. Eventually after 2 days of abuse and being told the car would be listed as stolen, given an Enterprise location 30 minutes away. The very first conversation if told I could go to an Enterprise not Alamo location would have avoided all of this as would it have been if I was advised of the issue when the new rental kicked in 4 days before being notified when I was at an Alamo location. Certainly didn’t appreciate being told to take the car back to Los Angeles when I was 21/2 hours north east of San Francisco. I don’t know whether it is a California thing, but lack of service and rudeness seems the norm as well as abuse especially when I speak perfect English but they don’t care and “what” being yelled at me takes up most of the conversation which they then just make up what they want.
About QEEQ:8.0/10
Excellent service and total ease of booking. excellent comprehensive information regarding pickup etc and advising prior that Alamo May require the rental to be split as over 30 days.
Economy car booked at LAX.
On arrival counter clerk tried to get me to up-grade to a Compact car, saying it would be roomier and more comfortable over long distances at an additional cost of only so many more dollars per day, which I declined and said I would stay with the Economy car booked, asked about cruise-control and was told that only Full-size cars had cruise and would do well to upgrade to one [ at extra cost of course. ]
I again declined and was then given a Compact car, at no extra cost. Why ?
Because they did not have any Economy cars, having previously tried to get me to pay for an up-grade which they were bound to give me gratis anyway ! Nice try Alamo.
On checking 5 different makes of Economy cars, I found that they ALL had cruise control, making the counter-hand, at best, woefully ignorant of the features of the vehicles Alamo rent out, or a deliberate liar at worst.
Commission-hungry rental agents who are prepared to tell customers anything to boost their income do little to maintain the reputation and integrity of Alamo.
I have taken the matter up with Alamo and am waiting for their response, but thought I should advise you of the dubious methods being practiced there.
Car (camaro) has mechanical issues (steering/wheel alignment issues and was overdue for service by 5,000miles) meaning it was dangerous when driving on motorways above 60mph.
Swapped the car at Las Vegas the next day. No customer service. Didn’t have a replacement so had to go with a four door even though we had especially booked an American muscle car for our honeymoon. Very disappointed with hertz and wouldn’t bother booking a car with them again given lack of customer service. Had a much better and smoother experience with Dollar.

About Alamo:10.0/10
The staff were very patient and offered a huge range of cars at the time of pickup. I was able to wait an extra 10 minutes for a larger vehicle and had absolutely no issues.
About QEEQ:10.0/10
As a first time user, I was skeptical - but the process was seamless, and I got a rate that was half the price compared to going directly to the rental company. The added insurance was required as we unfortunately had some damage to the car during our rental.
I am a seasoned car renter, and not easily pleasantly surprised, but YESAWAY's personnel was simply great - everybody was really friendly and fast, they picked us up late at night when we arrived, and gave us a ride to the terminal when we departed.
I would definitely recommend YESAWAY to all my friends and relatives. Great job, guys!
1. Even though I had already reserved a compact car, the attendant kept asking if I wanted a Mercedes or another type of car.
2. The attendant told me I needed to buy third-party liability insurance. When I asked if it was mandatory, she said it was necessary, making me mistakenly believe it was required, so I ended up purchasing it for two days at an additional cost of $15 per day.
