ALAMO CAR RENTAL REVIEWS IN SPAIN

Picking up and returning the car at the airport was very convenient, but the car provided was different from the one originally booked.

Could not pick up the car in advance, even if it was just 10 minutes early. After the paperwork, you have to walk to the parking lot behind the station to get the car. Rented an SUV but got an Audi A3 because it was the only option available.

Like: I dealt with Christian (might've been Kristian). He answered all my questions and ensured I was up and running efficiently. Would definitely use again. Thanks

The queue was a bit long, but the staff were friendly.

No car exchange allowed, given a manual transmission which is very difficult to drive, and they wouldn't change it. Even offering money didn't work.

Arrived early and there was no car; still no car when the time was up, ended up with a 5-seater instead of a 7-seater

After we had paid and thoroughly inspected the car, ready to depart, the staff rudely blocked our car, claiming that some guests upstairs needed this vehicle and we couldn't take it. I explained that we were short on time and needed to get to the Alhambra Palace without any delay. They wanted to switch it for a regular sedan which couldn't accommodate our luggage. Moreover, their reasoning was unacceptable; the type of car other guests use and the cars provided by the rental company are irrelevant to me, and I had no obligation to switch. However, the staff continued to insist and blocked us for more than ten minutes, causing us to miss our visit and rendering our pre-booked tickets useless, leaving us very disappointed.

The service was good, they were patient in answering questions and didn't aggressively sell insurance.

The service attitude was quite good. I realized a few hours after driving away that I might have left my passport and driver's license at the rental company's counter. When I went back, the staff had kept them safe for me, for which I was very grateful. The queue time for picking up the car was a bit long, around twenty minutes. At pickup, the staff found a small paint chip on the car's front. I didn't recall any scrapes, but I hadn't noticed it during pickup. Fortunately, I had full insurance. After internal coordination, they didn't charge me anything, which seemed a bit inexplicable.

They mentioned a ticket but I haven't received it yet.

Like: The helpfulness , staff knowledge about car , the offer to switch the Sat Nat to my language a great help
Dislike: Nothing , one of the easiest collection and drop off of a rental car I have ever done

The initial car was small, but they immediately gave us a bigger one when we expressed dissatisfaction.

Alamo's service is terrible. According to the order, I was supposed to pick up the car at 8:00. When I arrived, they said there were no cars and I had to wait until 9:30 for a car to come from the airport. Their attitude was very rude and unapologetic. I had to repeatedly communicate and negotiate with them from abroad, which was costly. At 9:20, they finally gave me a car, which had been parked right in front of the service hall all along. Additionally, they demanded extra charges in euros. My schedule was very tight, and this delay ruined my plans, causing me to miss a tourist spot. Overall, it greatly affected my mood. Stay away from Alamo.

Long queue time, the staff at the upstairs counter were indifferent.

It's not bad, keep up the good work.

Waited in line for almost an hour

Like: Nice car efficient and pleasant staff, good experience thank you will use you again
Dislike: nothing

The rental company didn't accept the translated notarized document and tried to trick me into paying more, but I ended up getting the same model as I booked.

Like: I was picked up from the airport terminal by a really professional and friendly employee. My flight arrival at Malaga airport was delayed by over an hour and opening time for Alamo/Enterprise had already passed. In spite of this, I pleasantly found that 2 of the hire company's employees waited for me and were very efficient and friendly inspite of my late arrival. They were not only past their closing time, but were extremely professional and efficient as well as very welcoming and personable. It was such a breath of fresh air being greeted by them (I'm so sorry I didn't memorize their names) after an eventful and tiring day - having left my house very early in the morning for an 8 hour shift at work, only to then rush to London St Pancras station in order to catch the 5pm service to Luton Airport and then find upon my arrival there that all trains had been cancelled. Then having travelled to Victoria Station across town to try and catch a useless coach that wasn't even stopping at the airport but in Luton Town centre instead. Eventually, when we reached the airport after a £70 uber trip, only to find that the Easy Jet flight to Malaga was delayed. Again, having been waited on, picked up and served so efficiently and warmly by the 2 Alamo employees who stayed behind over their time at work, was a breath of fresh air among so many bad experiences with other car rental companies elsewhere in Spain and beyond. Thank you guys - keep up the quality of service you have provided me with and you will have my custom for a very long time. So sorry I can't remember your names.

Very satisfied, the service was excellent.
