What I liked: I like the service provided by Ms Rim Rebai at the Alamo counter at Geneva airport for the followings: 1. Considerate to check with me if I have already had my own accident insurance, I need not buy additional policy from Alamo. 2. Offered me a new Hyundai Tucson from a Seat Arona as it was not available on-line yet without having to sound pushy. 3. Offered me her work email contact in case I could not get through the emergency contact to address my concern. 4. She was even able to help me with my SIM card issue by referring me to the Lycamobile kiosk within the airport when I had a connection problem. 5. The new SUV has many safety features and is amazingly easy to drive. It provided me and my family members a safe ride for our 18-days trip in Switzerland and France. I am glad I chose this upgrade. What I did not like about: 1. The new car did not have an English language manual. The staff at carpark P51 also could not locate the English version but he was helpful to help me with my queries about some new operating features with the car. 2. The car did not have floor mats which made cleaning difficult upon returning. 3. I had a punctured tyre at Obergoms on the 19 Nov 2022 but had problems contacting Alamo Tel. number +410848445522 and +410800440066 from 1129hrs to 1218hrs. It was only when I tried the email given by the counter staff that my call for help was received and arrangement for the roadside service made. 4. There was a minor miscommunication between Alamo and the roadside service provider with my contact number. Either Alamo had given a wrong contact number, or the service provider took down the number wrongly which resulted in much delay to the car tyre repair. I had to reschedule my itinerary for that day.

We didn't realise we had to check in at the desk in the airport first of all, as in Spain when there is a shuttle bus you normally don't need to check in at the airport. We just got the shuttle back and checked in at the airport. We will know next time! Staff were very friendly and efficient, we got a free upgrade and the car was outstanding for our family journey to the mountains in France. They were also very helpful when my husband and child left items in the car and we got them back. We also got a phone call a few days in to check all was OK with the car.

Picked up two brand new Benz Vito cars from the airport with friends, no issues at all. The paperwork and car pickup process were quick, and there's a shuttle from the counter to the parking lot every 10 minutes. The pickup and return procedures were explained in detail, and no language issues as everything was communicated in English. Upon returning the car, there were some scratches on the rims and we were informed there would be compensation. They said the damage department would assess and deduct the cost from the credit card used for the reservation, and send the detailed bill to the provided email. It took about 7 business days to receive the charge information, which was split into two transactions. However, even after returning to my home country, I hadn't received the detailed email from the rental company and had to request it myself. This was a bit unsatisfactory.

The car rental company is pretty good and efficient. Both QEEQ and Alamo provided excellent service. However, the car we received for this trip had issues. The Renault Clio's radio suddenly turned its volume to the maximum while driving on the highway, which was incredibly loud and dangerous, and we couldn't adjust it. After several minutes, the issue disappeared when we slowed down, but we didn't dare to use the car's system for the rest of the journey.
