Although the paperwork said there was no damage to the vehicle there was a large chip in the windscreen that if I hadn't pointed out to the staff member I would have been charged for on returning the vehicle.....I suspect this is how they make money!!!!

I like renting a car from Alamo, because their custom service is quite good in US, but this time I hired in UK and again, their custom service was pretty high standard and I am not sure if Scottish ppl are so helpful or what, their quick service and manners were great. What I was surprised was they called us after I went a car while I was waiting for my flight.... everything was so quick and smoothly managed. I am very happy with that.

Return check in involved waiting in cold car park while very pleasant man went through his job, but was that necessary that I had to be there? On other hires I just dump the keys, or else someone is checking the car as soon as I pull up and start offloading the bags.

I booked a Mercedes C-Class, but initially got a CLA. They claimed it was the same class, but it was too small for four people and four pieces of luggage. Upon request, they switched it to a standard C-Class.

Upgraded to a Ford KUGA, which was fairly easy to drive. They recommended tire insurance, considering it was my first time switching from left-hand drive to right-hand drive. Since it wasn't expensive, I decided to purchase it.
