CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON ALAMO AT LOS ANGELES AIRPORT, LAX

The car pickup process was self-service. We added roadside assistance insurance, printed the receipt, and picked up the car ourselves. It was very convenient. At the entrance, we scanned our documents, checked the driver's license and its translation. For the car return, we had originally planned to return it at the airport, but a phone call confirmed that we could change to the Union Square location for free, which was great since our hotel was at Union Square. The service was very good with no extra charges.

Direct and straightforward, got the car immediately without any upselling. It might be because I had all the documents printed out. I recommend having everything ready before going.

I am very satisfied with the condition of the car. It was a new vehicle with only 10,000 kilometers, very clean and easy to drive. Returning the car was also very convenient. However, I'm a bit disappointed with one of the staff members, an American lady, who recommended an upgrade to a different model. After we declined, she became impatient and had a poor attitude. Additionally, the wait time was a bit long, probably due to the peak season in July. I'm not sure if the Jeep Cherokee we got is of the same class as the Santa Fe we had originally booked.

Service was good. Our car had an air conditioning issue, so we swapped the car at a nearby location. The cost was recalculated after an appeal at the rental location.

The machine input the wrong birth date and couldn't be changed. Had to go to the counter. Hope it can be fixed.

The service at the airport branch was very good. When we arrived, there were many customers lining up to pick up their cars, but the branch had a self-service pickup option. The self-service system had Chinese instructions, guiding us step by step, and we quickly collected our car. It was really convenient, but this branch didn't have Chinese-speaking staff, which was fine too. Foreigners think simply; we got the car and set off immediately. Returning the car was even simpler. The staff took a quick look at the car, saw no issues, and immediately said OK, and we headed to the airport!

Long waiting time

This was my first time driving in the USA. Initially, I chose an English website but was worried about communication problems, so I switched to QEEQ. The experience was excellent; everything went well, and there was free GPS. The only downside was that QEEQ couldn't assist us with getting a better price when we upgraded the car mid-trip. I hope QEEQ can offer better deals for mid-trip upgrades in the future.

You can handle the paperwork at the counter in the hall, or use the self-service machines if you have a reservation. They don't push you to buy insurance. After completing the formalities, go directly to the parking lot to pick up a car. The lot is divided into compact, midsize, fullsize, and SUV. Just go to the section of the size you rented and pick one. The keys are already in the cars. Drive your chosen car to the exit, and the staff will scan the contract and the car's barcode, and you're all set. The staff are very enthusiastic.

The car was quite new, and the service was excellent.

Very convenient, self-service car pickup available, and plenty of gas stations around.

I booked a large MPV on the website, and the estimated total cost was more than 4,000 RMB. When I picked up the car at the rental company, they asked for my credit card. I repeatedly confirmed with the staff that the payment had been made online. They assured me that the car had been paid for and the credit card was only for potential additional charges. When I went to the car lot, all the cars of the same series were parked together. The staff directed me to the pick-up area and matched my order with one of the cars. There were 7-8 cars including Dodge, Kia, and Chrysler. There was also a Sienna, and I asked the staff if I could take it. The staff said any car in that row was fine. I was happy and didn’t think much of it since they confirmed the payment was already made online and said I could take any of the available cars. I drove off, but later I found out when returning the car that I was charged an additional 5,000 RMB. They said it was for a car upgrade, which means the total cost was now 10,000 RMB instead of the planned 4,000 RMB. It's really not cheap. If I had chosen an upgrade myself, I'd be fine paying more, but they charged me without my consent. I don’t think anyone can accept this. I hope others are cautious when renting cars in the future. This was my first time experiencing this in my three trips to the U.S.

Alamo in Los Angeles is good. I rented a standard car, but it seems the company didn’t have this model, so I ended up choosing a Camry from the full-size options.

Pickup and drop-off were very convenient, although the shuttle service at the airport wasn't as frequent as with bigger companies, usually around a 15-minute wait.

Alamo and National share the same location, and the cars are interchangeable. At the self-service kiosk, you can print the contract in about 5 minutes, then take it and choose your car. We rented a luxury car and initially saw only a Volvo S80, which was nice but we were expecting something like a Cadillac. We asked the staff, and they kindly checked for us, eventually bringing out a freshly cleaned Infiniti QX60. It turned out to be perfect for long trips over the two weeks.

I still prefer Alamo for car rentals in the USA. The office is spacious, with self-check-in and self-service car selection. You can choose your favorite and familiar compact model from several options when picking up the car. Returning the car is quick!

Self-service machine saves queuing time.

Very convenient, you can choose the car you like, and the service is very friendly! The key is that the car is very easy to drive!

When we went to pick up the car, it wasn't crowded, and the customer service was pretty good. However, when returning the car, we noticed there were a lot of people renting cars.

Renting the car was quick. There were quite a few people, but the process was short. After a few brief questions, we could pick up the car. The parking lot was huge, with various types of cars. Since I had a reservation, I went straight to my car and drove off. It was a yellow Camaro, a soft-top convertible. The interior had a pleasant scent and was very clean, almost like a new car.
