Since my girlfriend and I are both under 25, we had to pay an additional $25 per day for insurance. The staff cleverly used this extra fee to upgrade our car from a Class A to a Class B Taurus (known as Ford Taurus in our country). We enjoyed ten days with a 3.5L V6 engine, which was fantastic.

Satisfied

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.

The flight was delayed for over 5 hours. When we arrived, we took a shuttle bus directly to the rental car company from the airport. There weren't many people, and the paperwork was processed quickly. There were no excessive sales pitches, and the price matched what I had booked.

Fast and easy. Good selection of cars at pickup

Nice and easy. Good to have all insurance prepaid
