Anyone rented from Alamo lately?

Just reserved a car from Alamo, have always used National, but Alamo had a much better price this time. Has anyone rented from Alamo lately, and if so, how was your experience. Thanks!

Anyone rented from Alamo lately?

I used them twice in the past but had no issues. Have the same parent company and it appears that the car inventory overlaps.

I also have used them in the past and have had no issues.


I%26#39;m also interested about Alamo, I just booked with Alamo (IFAR) Intermediate SUV for only 10 Euro more than a ICAR Intermediate car, I used www.autoeurope.se (incll, insurance, gas etc) then e-mailed Alamo direct to add a GPS for 49.95/week + tax to my reservation.

I know a SUV (or baby-SUV in this case) consumes more gas than a car, but when you%26#39;r use to pay more than 6$ a gallon, I don%26#39;t mind renting a gas gussler! H*ll no Co2!

Cost my the same as booking a ICAR directly with Alamo without any insurance or gas...

Alamo and National are owned by the same company,but i rent from National all the time as i am a Emerald Isle member no problems.


As everyone has said - Alamo and National are owned and operated by the same company. Alamo - is sorta like the little sister to National - they get the hand me downs. A little more wear and tear.

I am not a big advocate of Alamo - I have rented from them on two occasions - the first was in Hawaii. We arrived in the evening so really didn%26#39;t notice the concern at that time - but quickly found the car was infested with roaches! I had never seen so many!!! They came out of every nook and crany in the car - it was a long time before I rented from Alamo again. Then it was Colorado Springs - got to the car and it looked liked someone had taken a baselbat to the outside of the car - it had )and I%26#39;m not kidding) over 100 dents in the hood/trunk and roof - it was in a hail storm at sometime and they kept it in service to try to make some $$$ on it.

I now use both National because I am a Emerald Club Member and then Dollar - they have some great rates if you look through their site and mileage is always unlimited.


I just rented from Alamo in Vegas 4/26 to 5/1 and had no problems at all. We had a Saturn 4 door and it only had 2400 miles on it. And best of all with a Entertainment Book coupon I

only paid $72.


I have used alamo on many occassions and always got a good vehicle at a reasonable price. Everytime that I have gotten on from vegas have found the people to be quick and effective at the counter but if it is slammed at the airport just find the alamo shuttle and there is another desk at the site where you can also arrange for the vehicle usually without a line because most people think the only option is to check in at the airport. My favorite thing about alamo is that you get to choose the car from the parking lot. Check in the keys are in the cars you just go pick a car and drive it out and the guard at the gate will finsih the paper work.


We were in Vegas from 4/28-5/3 and rented from Alamo. No problems at all. In fact we did the little kiosk check in due to a small line of people and were in and out in 10 minutes. When we returned the car, we allowed for some extra time( about 30 minutes) and were rather surprised as we were on the shuttle to the airport in about 5. We had an economy, a Chevy Cobalt with 12,000 miles, and the only complaint was a rattle in the front passenger side, but what the heck, its a rental, right? I would rent from them again. Best of luck.


Thanks for the feedback everyone!


We rented from Alamo from Apr29-May9. Got a great deal w/coupon for a compact. Called a couple of times to have amount adjusted, had no problems, went to the car rental place, was told to pick from a certain area, went back to find the guy,%26#39;cause cars in that area were Not compact(better), was told to pick whatever I wanted from that area, ended up with a brand new Malibu-1500 miles on it- trunk was Massive, AC worked great, thinking of buying one now!!
