The vehicle had a number of items which needed to be taken care of: Computer kept alarming us that the Oil Fuel was filled too much Midway we were warned to add more AdBlue (refunded by Alamo) After the first use we were warned to top up the wiper fluid. Apart from that, Alamo service was very great and supportive

I booked Mercedes E class as the car boot space is quite big. However I was given a BMW330 or another alternative car which car boot space is even smaller. I had to send my big luggage to my accomodation by uber. BMW330 can only store 1 big luggage and one hand carry. It is very small as compared to Merc E class.

Alamo had either not enough cars available. Needed to wait 60 minutes with other ten customers before we could pick up the car. First time in my life for such long wait. Other operators at the same location only need a five minutes wait. Alamo in Manchester airport was terrible.
