Great and convenient

The service at San Francisco Airport has always been good.

The car pick-up process was very smooth. From San Francisco airport, you can take the airport shuttle to the car rental building (most rental companies are there). I was fortunate to meet a gentleman from Hong Kong who speaks Mandarin. He recommended insurance, but I did not purchase it. The process was very efficient. I had reserved a Chrysler, but it was unavailable, so I chose a white Dodge from the lot with only 500 miles on it. It was very new. I quickly got used to driving it. The car's power was average, and I am not sure about the engine size, but the fuel consumption seemed high. Returning the car was even simpler and more straightforward. I will choose QEEQ again next time but will select a different model.

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.

Fairly smooth and quick with no incidents.
