ALAMO CAR RENTAL REVIEWS IN UNITED KINGDOM

Overall okay, but the staff will strongly recommend you to buy additional insurance.

Very satisfied

Overall quite satisfactory

The whole process was easy and efficient. It was easier than I’ve done before in Spain

Easy to use platform with everything clearly explained

friendliest and most helpful staff of any rental I have used

They kept pushing their store insurance, and if you didn't buy it, there was a £2000 fine, which made the experience nerve-wracking. The experience was poor, and instead of a Volvo, I got a Mitsubishi, which felt a bit unfair.

Pretty good

Personally I found the clutch pedal too close to the left side of the compartment. People with big feet might find the space between pedals too small.

Overall satisfied

Convenient and clear instructions

First, the instruction to get the car from airport has no detail. I have to ask few people to get to the bus stop to the rental car (Heathrow airort terminal 2) Second, the staff do not have the model I rented (Nissan Qashqai Automatic). He try to sell the larger car (Manual transmission which I can drive). But the upgrade price is much higher than I have to pay for the Nissan Qashqai, so I decide to get the similar car that I booked. So finally I got the Vauxhall Grand Land manual transmission. I feel sort of tricky that they do not have the model I booked the car and prrovide the lower car type (manual) to me. I also talk to my friend about this, he also got the similar problem from Alamo that can not provide the model he book annd the staff try to sell the upgrade to other model. Third, I did use the road side assistant due to flat tyre. The response is quick and professional.

I like price drop protector.

When returning the car, there was a small tear in the tire. The staff wanted to withhold the deposit, but after negotiation, they consulted the manager. The manager said they would waive it if I wrote a good review online.

Be cautious of insurance upselling, the car condition is acceptable.

Quite a disorderly queue at the counter which was very busy.

Highly satisfied

Pretty good

Staff was really helpful. vehicle had some issues such as the wiper falling off midway while driving but other than that, everything was great.

Platform was great and easy to use, especially as a diamond member.

The car was lovely and the staff were really helpful at Exeter - making sure I was familiar with the key features. They advised where I can drop off at Heathrow and went through the 'paperwork' on the iPad. I didn't like the £2,000 excess on insurance which I was offered on the spot to take there and then - as the cost was almost as much as the daily hire cost - but waived it. That made the experience much more stressful - particularly in London - and I was grateful to drop the car back without a hitch.

The platform was brilliant and I got a very good price - which I was delighted with. I was taking my parents up to London from Dartmouth (83 and 85) and they very much enjoyed it. We came back in my car - which is lovely but not quite as lovely as the car we hired :)

Not bad

The overall process was quite smooth
