After arriving at Los Angeles Airport, we waited for the shuttle bus to the rental office. The driver even helped with the luggage. It took about ten minutes, very convenient.

Alamo and National share the same location, and the cars are interchangeable. At the self-service kiosk, you can print the contract in about 5 minutes, then take it and choose your car. We rented a luxury car and initially saw only a Volvo S80, which was nice but we were expecting something like a Cadillac. We asked the staff, and they kindly checked for us, eventually bringing out a freshly cleaned Infiniti QX60. It turned out to be perfect for long trips over the two weeks.

Clearly selected a mid-to-large SUV on the website (more expensive) but was given the option of a compact city SUV (listed at a lower price) upon arrival in the US. The time spent waiting for and choosing the car was included in the rental period. Despite this, I managed to choose a newer car (with lower mileage), but ended up paying extra for a higher-grade vehicle and wasted 40 minutes waiting for it.

The staff at this Alamo location will try to sell you insurance and other services you didn't purchase. It's up to you to decide whether to buy them or not. The problem is: I booked a 'compact car' (Nissan Versa or similar) through Zuzuche, and the staff said it was too small (I only have two people) and suggested upgrading to a higher class for an additional fifteen dollars per day. I agreed, but when I went to the garage, I got a 'Ford Focus,' which is also listed as a compact car on Zuzuche's website. Why did I pay extra for an upgrade yet still get the same class of car? I think this location takes advantage of renters' unfamiliarity with car models to deceive them into paying for unnecessary upgrades. I've rented from many companies through Zuzuche and have never encountered this problem elsewhere.
