The process was efficient and very quick.

They kept pushing upsells—insurance, car upgrades, fuel fees, etc. I was talked into buying additional insurance by the front desk, even though it was only around 100 dollars, it was quite annoying. I thought the insurance included in my order was comprehensive, but their 'full insurance' was actually just an extra coverage similar to full insurance in other rentals. In the end, Alamo added another super coverage. This was the third Alamo I encountered during my trip at San Francisco airport, the previous two didn't ask these questions. Overall, the worst experience of this trip!

Using the self-service machine to rent the car was very convenient and quick.

The company is quite large, with branches in various regions. There are many vehicle options available. I initially wanted to rent a Grand Cherokee, but at the counter they said it was unavailable. They offered either a Santa Fe or a more expensive Ford Edge, which I did not agree to. However, when I went to the parking lot to pick up the car, I was pleasantly surprised with a 2017 high-end GMC. It had only run over 13,000 miles, essentially a new car. Midway, the car showed a need for an oil change. I contacted customer service, and they provided three options: continue driving if the car was in good condition, switch to another car, or find a repair shop for an oil change and then get reimbursed. Later, I went to the Salt Lake City branch to exchange for another car, but they only had a mini van. So, I opted to get an oil change at a repair shop, which cost over $50 with tax. The refund was processed smoothly when I returned the car. Overall, it was a pretty smooth experience.

Service is decent, but they still push insurance. It's confusing to understand what's covered and what's not. The car was in excellent condition.
