Nice n easy

They tried to upsell additional insurance when picking up the car, but processed everything normally when I declined. The staff's attitude could be improved. The car was very new, possibly due to the pandemic and fewer customers. Returning the car was very quick.

We are 4 adults and 2 kids, and rented a 7-seater SUV on a car rental website. When we arrived at ALAMO in the USA, they told us the trunk space wasn't big enough and asked us to pay $490 to upgrade to a Dodge minivan. When we requested to see the car, they said none were available at the moment. We called the car rental website's customer service to negotiate, but the rental company's attitude was very impatient. Because we were pressed for time, we had to pay the $490. Including the ¥4152 paid on the website, renting the car for 6 days cost over ¥7000. We felt cheated!

1. We arrived at the car rental spot at the airport in the middle of the night, and there were still two counters open, which was great. It takes about 5 minutes to wait for the shuttle bus from the airport to the rental location. 2. The staff were friendly and not pushy. They only asked if we wanted to upgrade the car and recommended the very practical TravelTab (a Samsung Galaxy that functions as a phone, navigation device, and Wi-Fi hotspot). 3. After completing the paperwork, you go to the parking lot to choose a car. All the cars of the class you booked are parked together with the keys in the cars and doors unlocked. You can pick any car and drive away. 4. There were many options available across different car classes. The cars were new, well-maintained, and clean inside. 5. When returning the car, despite not having a full tank because the gas station was far from the return point, the staff said it was fine, which was very considerate.

Friendly staff, no hard sell

The charges are very clear, which is great
