CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON ALAMO IN BARCELONA

Waited an hour for the car, but got upgraded to a larger model.

It's okay, no aggressive insurance upselling.

The service was excellent.

Very satisfied

Extremely satisfied

The service is excellent.

They promised to change the car the next day but their attitude was extremely rude and provided no explanation. If they had told me on the day of pickup that they didn't have the model I wanted, I would have just left. Why make a promise if you can't keep it? On the second day, their attitude was even worse.

Very satisfied

Didn’t have our car (estate) but were given a large SUV so had no space worries

Their service is just average. They didn't have a Volvo as promised, only a Golf. To get an Audi A3, I had to pay extra, which was very disappointing.

Very satisfied

Terrible service experience. Couldn't rent anything, but still had to fill in the car model. Will never use this platform again.

Extremely dissatisfied. I didn't get any car, and the rental company didn't refund me, they just took my rental fee. I only had a scanned electronic version of the translation document. I called the store's customer service to ask, and they said it would be fine to rent a car. However, when I got to the counter, the staff said the original document was necessary. Even after showing them the customer service call records, they said it didn't matter who I spoke with, they wouldn't let me get the car. Then I called the rental company customer service, who said they couldn't do anything, neither resolve the issue nor refund me. So the money was wasted, the store didn't give me the car, and the rental company took the money without any refund. I've rented cars in Europe many times, even in situations where I didn't have the original documents or a credit card, and never had a problem. Even if I couldn't rent the car, I could still negotiate a refund afterwards. This time was truly terrible, I don't even want to give one star. The rental company is really awful! I advise everyone to choose local rental platforms when renting cars in Europe. Even if you can't get the car, you can get a refund, and stay away from Alamo. The customer service and the counter staff work together to scam people.

There was only one attendant among the three rental companies, presumably a supervisor, with an extremely arrogant attitude. Although we arrived early, we ended up waiting in line for an hour. We had a 10 o'clock appointment but only got the car and left at 11. There were about 20 people in line, and only one person handling it, which was extremely unreasonable.

I think the service is really good. However, if it's your first time renting, be sure to ask clearly about the pickup and drop-off procedures.

very helpfull staff

Waited in line for half an hour only to find out the reserved car model was not available. Couldn't get a refund, had to settle for a manual transmission car.

Overall very satisfied! The staff were very friendly, and when picking up the car, they just asked if I needed additional insurance without any hard sell or hassle. The return instructions were clear, and the receiving staff were very enthusiastic and friendly.

Overall, this is one of the better car rental companies in Barcelona. The location is easy to find, and the cars are relatively new, like a 2023 Mini. The staff recommended an upgrade, but it was very cheap, only 10 euros per day, and there was no pressure. They only asked about insurance once, so the whole process was very smooth. The only issue was that their customer service phone number couldn't be reached. For late-night returns, you can just use self-return.

Very satisfied.
