Very convenient.

Self-checkout is quite convenient.

Overall it's quite good, with a competitive price. They didn't push any extra items when picking up the car. Since I was planning a road trip, I opted for roadside assistance at $5 per day, which is reasonable. Alamo is quite friendly about opting out of certain charges, like crossing the Golden Gate Bridge (north to south); if you pay online yourself, you can automatically opt-out of Alamo’s charges without contacting them. Picking up a car at San Francisco airport was quite intense, it felt like there were more people than cars, and you had to grab one as soon as it appeared.

I booked a Dodge Grand Caravan on QEEQ, but when I arrived in the USA, I found the trunk was not very spacious. The Alamo attendant recommended a Toyota Sienna instead. It had much more space, easily fitting five people, four suitcases, and a wheelchair. Plus, the car was brand new with only 700 miles on it. It handled very well, making it perfect for the complex hills and streets of San Francisco.

Although not the biggest rental company, the service is top-notch! A very good company. Will choose them again next time!
