The staff were arrogant when I picked up the car. Despite having no customers, three employees made me wait a long time, saying they needed to finish previous orders first. I rented a seven-seater MPV, but they initially tried to give me a five-seater MG at half the rental cost, falsely claiming there were no seven-seaters available. Only after I argued did they reluctantly give me another customer's seven-seater. Their behavior was disgraceful. They were extremely polite to European customers. It took me an hour to get the car, while a European customer who arrived later got his car in 10 minutes.
The drop-off process was convenient.
No need to queue, probably the least crowded rental company. The staff will try to push you to add insurance or buy fuel, which is expected. We booked a 7-seater car, but upon arrival, they told us there were no 7-seaters available and downgraded us to a 5-seater without any discounts. Later, we did see 7-seaters in the parking lot.
The staff at Alamo were much less friendly compared to Hertz and Avis. My husband forgot to bring his own credit card, so we couldn't rent the X5 at all! They said it's a requirement in Victoria that the driver must have their own credit card, and my card wouldn't work either! And yet, when we went to Avis and Hertz, they said there's no issue as long as the credit card holder authorizes the driver and signs an authorization form! I had prepaid all the fees! When I called the rental company, they wouldn't refund my money or let me switch to another car rental company just after six minutes! We lost more than 4,000 RMB! Beware, everyone! Never prepay! Never use Alamo!!!
I rented a Hyundai i20 which is relatively a small car. At the counter, I found out this car is not available and they gave me a Mitsubishi Pajero sport which was huge. To them, this was an upgrade for free but to me having a small suitcase and being on 3 day business trip, it was extremely difficult to drive in Melbourne in the rush hour and park the car.
I wish I knew that they might not have a small car and then I would rent another car.
Fantastic service at Melbourne airport - brand new car and staff could have been more helpful
