Driving South from San Francisco: Exploring California's Highway 1!

Too many people at the airport rental

Alamo at San Francisco airport is a horrible company. My car window was smashed, and my driver's license and luggage were stolen. The police suggested I change cars for safety reasons. It was already 2:30 AM, and I had four elderly people with me. However, the stubborn Alamo manager insisted on seeing my driver's license to give me a replacement car, despite me explaining the situation and even getting help from customer service. They claimed it was company policy due to liability issues with the police. If I didn't have a driver's license, how did I rent the car in the first place? Even if I had my license initially, what would I do if it got lost? This is a terrible company. It's incredible to encounter such poor service in a foreign country at 2:30 AM, leaving my family stranded at the airport. Later, I am extremely grateful to the AVIS manager at San Francisco airport, who, without any original documents, allowed me to rent another car just by showing photos and explaining the situation. Thank you so very much!

Very satisfied, pick-up and drop-off are very convenient. I will choose ALAMO rental car company again.

The pick-up process was a bit slow, but everything else was great.

The ALAMO store at San Francisco Airport was easy to find. Showing the printed order, translation document, driving license, and credit card allowed us to complete the process quickly. The staff recommended insurance for $5 per day, which covered glass damage, so we bought it. We took the order form to the parking lot, chose a white Mustang, and the key was inside the car. We started the car and drove off. Someone at the exit checked the order. It was very simple. Returning the car was also very straightforward. It was easy to find near Los Angeles Airport. The staff scanned the car's barcode and issued a receipt with a handheld device, which concluded the process efficiently.
