Excellent screen system at pickup. Very helpful lady. Drop off in Phoenix went very quickly but transit service to the airport was a nightmare. Very nearly missed my flight. Would have done if I hadn’t dropped luggage in advance. Unacceptable delays but not Alamo’s fault.

Easy pickup, choose from pick of cars in a section at LAX

Easy to book, good pricing

Alamo was good but their agent did not really have time to explain what insurance is for what. I recommend buying at least the tyre insurance from them so you are not mandated to pay a huge bill in case of a puncture. (For the comprehensive insurance you have a lot of options via Easyrentcars, Credit Cards, Travel insurance, etc. Usually the one at the Alamo counter is the most expensive. So do the math before you travel!) In case you want a specific model as I did: Alamo has a huge selection of cars at the LA branch. When you get off the bus you can actually quickly check what cars are in the bay. I really wanted a Mustang convertible. Since I did not know to check in the bay before entering the branch I asked the agent if it was available. He offered me a Mustang Cabrio GT as an upgrade. But since I was not willing to pay a £250 upgrade on top of the £250 rental I took the risk of having a similar model. Luckily they had several Mustang convertibles available and I just took one of them without upgrading.

Easyrentcars is a superb provider. They make it super easy to find the right car for your needs. And I really like their feature that re-books the same car in case it becomes cheaper over time.

counter staff was a bit annoyed with us, we had booked 2 - 15 seater vans and they would not remove the back seat for luggage, wanted us to book another car just for luggage which would have been an extra $1200 USD which we declined and just jammed our luggage over seats etc. we needed to buy a small step to get in and out of the van as it was very high. Alamo were great when we let them know the van had been broken into and we did not have to pay any excess as it was all covered.

Like: The plan was to drive the whole West Coast but then we were lured in by Death Valley! Took our wheels to Area 51 then up to Oregon. I think the highways were a bit tough on her but she made it and it took next to no gas to make the full trek. Already planning the next trip, with the same size car. It was perfect for two.
