Vancouver, Vancouver Island

When I rented a car on the Zuzuche website, I carefully read the site’s introduction and knew that the store would try to sell additional insurance. My English isn't very good, but the store’s service attitude was alright. Before signing the contract, the agent showed me an explanation about the extra insurance, which included a Chinese translation. However, the translation was done directly from English, and frankly, even as a native Chinese speaker, I couldn’t understand it. I asked the service agent if it was mandatory; he said yes, so I agreed. Then he printed out a contract for me to sign, and I realized it included the additional insurances mentioned on the Zuzuche website, which I originally didn’t want to buy. I told him I didn’t want any extra insurance, so he had to print a new contract for me. I booked a Chevrolet but got a Buick Excelle, similar to the car I drive at home, so it was easy to handle. However, being the first time driving abroad, I was a bit nervous. I drove around the airport area for a while, and after a few days, I felt that driving in Canada is mostly similar to driving at home. But it’s crucial to stop at intersections with a 'STOP' sign, regardless of whether there are vehicles or pedestrians. At intersections without traffic lights, you must follow the zipper merging rule. This is very important. One day, in a hurry to drop my child at school, I followed the car ahead too closely and almost crashed into a car coming from the perpendicular direction.

The company offers excellent service and convenience. Picking up the car was easy without any requirement to upgrade the car model, and the vehicle was new. When I inquired about the car's RPM, they were very patient and experienced, providing precise guidance and reassuring us that everything was fine. The issue was resolved quickly by the second day, making the rest of the journey smooth and enjoyable. Returning the car was also quick and hassle-free. I will definitely use this company again. Don't opt for overly cheap rental companies as they can lead to unpleasant experiences. Renting and returning the car at the airport was great, especially since their working hours are long. We rented the car at around 9 PM, for two days, and returned it around 8 PM without any wasted time.

It was my first time renting a car overseas and I had a genuinely good experience with Alamo. I initially reserved a Ford Fusion, a large car for 4 people. Perhaps they saw we had more luggage, or maybe they didn’t have our reserved model. Either way, they upgraded us for free to a Dodge 7-seater MPV. It was a new car, with only over 1100 km on it. As a result, our trip in Vancouver was very smooth and enjoyable. Alamo definitely deserves 5 stars!

Easy to find the counter at the YVR Airport. Pickup car easy and car conditions are good. Return car also easy and fast.

Easy to choose car and booking.

The quality and condition of the car is much better than some companies I had used in LA and Miami.
