I clarified prior to booking the car to make sure that I can drive the car into Bosnia and I even clarified again when I picked up the car. Everyone said there won't be any issues, but I was not able to enter Bosnia when I came to the boarder. It's in the law that a original green card is needed to enter Bosnia. Alamo just gave me a copy and said it will be good enough. I had to leave the car and get a taxi to Bosnia and rent another car. I do want a refund on the car.
Our group of 8 rented two cars in Venice. At the time of booking, we specifically indicated that we needed to cross the borders into Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The customer service at the platform confirmed that this rental company allowed border crossing and even sent us a reminder email about the border-crossing permissions. When picking up the cars, we explicitly informed the staff of the countries we planned to visit and inquired about border-crossing fees. The staff did not charge any additional fees and handed over the cars to us. However, when entering Bosnia and Herzegovina from Montenegro, we were denied entry because the rental vehicles lacked the necessary entry documentation. We tried two different border points but were met with the same issue, which severely disrupted our itinerary. Abandoning our planned journey in Bosnia and Herzegovina would have resulted in losing the cost of 3 nights' hotel reservations and incurring additional costs for 3 extra nights in Croatia. As a result, we had no option but to spend an entire day driving back to Dubrovnik, Croatia, where we spent 400 euros renting two cars again to re-enter Bosnia and Herzegovina. This caused our originally planned road trip loop to be interrupted, and we ended up driving more than 10 extra hours. We contacted the rental platform to request the rental company to address the issue, but we have not received any response. We are extremely disappointed with the service of this rental company. If you plan to cross into non-EU countries, avoid this rental company at all costs!!!
Overall experience was good. No complicated procedures. To pick up the car, you only need a passport, credit card, and a driving license. Successfully picked up the car with a UK driver's license that I've had for just over a year, without an IDP. A 500 EUR credit card pre-authorization was returned the day after returning the car. The staff inspected the car carefully when returning it, so make sure to take a video around the car before renting to avoid any disputes. Got a Golf, which was a bit small but suitable for four people. The car only had a type-C port, so remember to bring an adapter.
“Good but not the car type I reserved....very disappointed that I got a wagon instead of a minivan.”
About Alamo:8.0/10
Very disappointed that you consider a station wagon and a minivan to be the same class of cars. I booked my car very early to make sure you get it right. If you didn’t have a minivan available you should have given me a better car, not a worse one. I was tired, had three kids with me and no time to argue with the personnel but this is two times that I am renting a car in Italy and I am extremely disappointed with the lack of customer orientation those people have.
