The pick up and drop off were handled efficiently and there were no queues. The car I booked was an intermediate car but I was downgraded to a Nissan Juke, a subcompact Jeep that could only take one big bag in the boot and I had two large bags and an electric guitar plus two hand luggages. It was a disappointment to be downgraded but the Alamo agent wanted to charge me GBP 10 per day for an upgrade and there were no intermediate cars. I was offered either a Nissan Juke or a Vauxhall Astra, both of which were smaller than the car I booked. I am very disappointed and hope to receive a partial refund for this downgrade. There was a problem with the petrol gauge. I pumped petrol until it clicked off. When I drove off to return the car I noted that the petrol gauge was still one bar below full which is what it was when I pumped GBP 8.24 worth of petrol. So I drove back to the petrol station and it clicked off again after I pumped GBP 2.24 worth of petrol but I added a little more till GBP 2.40. The petrol gauge still showed one bar below full tank. I pumped another GBP 1.17 of petrol and it clicked off again but the gauge still showed one bar below full. So I just returned the car with the petrol gauge showing one bar below full which is what it showed before I topped her up the first time!!!!! There must be something wrong with the petrol gauge.

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.

The registration at the airport was not bad, but the return experience at Luton Airport was terrible. There were barely noticeable scratches on the tire (scratches that no one would normally pay attention to and definitely wouldn't be checked during the rental process). Yet, they made me pay for the tire.

Shared location with Enterprise, same service. A £200 deposit was taken when picking up the car and refunded upon return. It took around 30 hours to get the deposit back into my account. They only checked the tires and exterior when returning, even though it had rained and was a bit dirty, it didn't affect the inspection.

1. They didn't coordinate properly with the rental website, causing me to pay the one-way fee twice. 2. The drop-off location was extremely unclear! They should provide a detailed address instead of just a postcode. We were instructed to return the car at Edinburgh train station, but couldn't find any signs or an office nearby. We had to drive around the busy area for a long time before calling the store to get the exact location. This issue isn't unique to us. After we parked, another car faced the same problem and only found the spot after asking the police. I've lived in Edinburgh for nearly a year, and even I had trouble. It's even more challenging for first-time visitors.

1. The store did not provide the specified car model and did not offer a similar type; 2. They made me purchase full insurance without informing me, even though I had already bought supplemental insurance on Zuzuche. The rental company did not give a reasonable response after I raised a complaint; 3. Less than 200 kilometers after picking up the car, the antifreeze alarm went off. We had to wait for assistance, disrupting our trip and forcing us to book new hotels, making the four of us lose 4,000 RMB; 4. After 1,000 kilometers, the AdBlue warning light came on, making our journey stressful; 5. All complaints to the rental company received no effective responses, and they were unreasonable.

Enterprise is more reasonable since they won't charge you for slightly less fuel when returning the car. Alamo, however, charges you unless the tank is full. It's practically impossible to return the car with a completely full tank after driving to the drop-off location.

This is my fifth time renting a car abroad, and I've never encountered such a rogue and deceitful rental company! Be very careful! Firstly, if your English isn't fluent, the sales staff will speak very quickly to push insurance. I understand that, but even after refusing multiple times, they persisted. Secondly, they pushed the FUEL SERVICE OPTION. I had never come across this before, so I repeatedly confirmed if it was a pre-authorization and if returning the car with a full tank meant I'd get a refund. The sales staff assured me it was, but despite returning the car with a full tank, I didn't get a refund and was charged much more than the contract amount for no apparent reason. Later, I found out that it is indeed an additional service. However, rental platforms also say they can't restrain individual fraudulent behavior without a recording. So next time, make sure to record everything! Relying on the platform won't solve the problem! Lastly, in the restroom of this rental company, my mother overheard employees openly mocking and ridiculing Chinese people, saying they know nothing and laughing loudly. While we were picking up the car, another family was arguing with the staff over unclear charges. It's better to choose another company. Do not rent from Alamo in the UK! I've rented from them in the US and Canada before without issues, but in the UK, be very cautious!

The car rental company is very professional. The staff provides one-on-one service without excessive sales tactics. They explain the services offered upfront, so you can choose to purchase if needed without any hard sell. The price is still a bit higher compared to other European countries, but this is the UK, and it's somewhat understandable since everything is quite expensive here.

The car rental service was decent, but the vehicle was in poor condition. The first car they provided was very dirty and had already driven over 60,000 miles. While driving it, I realized it was too large and too tall. We kept searching for a 7-seater car in every city but couldn't find one. Each branch said they could only check their own inventory and not other branches'. They told us we had to call other branches ourselves to check availability.

This is not the car I booked at all. They gave me a small car that couldn't fit my luggage. They asked me to pay extra to upgrade to a bigger car, which I didn't do. So they gave me a manual car. This is ridiculous.

Pretty good. I picked up the car on the second day from a location just 10 minutes away from my hotel. The process was simple; I only needed a credit card and driver's license. They also asked for a translated copy of my driver's license. Overall, it was a good experience.

The car provided did not match the photos. Upon arrival, I found that the car arranged was not a Renault, but a smaller model, which was completely inadequate. I had to pay extra to choose another car.

The service attitude at the store was pretty good, there were no upsells, and there was no waiting in line. However, we were very dissatisfied with the handling of the accident aftermath. The accident was entirely the other party's fault, yet they still charged us £1500 when returning the car. It's been over three months since we returned home and we have yet to get our money back, with the excuse that the other party’s insurance has not compensated them.

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.

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

We are always met at the door by the ALamo agent whenever we rent a car from Alamo. There is never any queue. However, the Mercedes A series we booked was not available, so we settled for a Volkswagen Arteon which was a pleasure to drive as it was a smart car.

Vehicle was great, felt like an upgrade because of the quality and newness - really enjoyed driving it. Curtis checked me out and back in, he was super helpful answering my questions on pick and checking the car condition with me. He was fast on the drop off too. Very respectful and helpful employee, represented Alamo very well!
