In February this year, exactly like February last year, and almost the same trip, the same strange incident happened. I picked up the car with a full tank and returned it with a full tank, but both times I got charged $65. I only found out about it after returning to my home country last year and multiple complaints led nowhere. This year I made sure to point it out when returning the car, and without asking any questions, they refunded me immediately! I can't help but suspect this might be intentional. I hope for an explanation.
ALEMO is usually cheaper on the ZUZUCHE platform, but once you get there, they strongly recommend upgrading the vehicle and adding extra insurance. Various charges (like $145 for 8 days of GPS; last year, I got talked into adding over $700 of extra insurance and received a free GPS, the charges can be very arbitrary), and then casually being charged $65 for 8 days of rental at $15 per day, once confirmed, they would immediately refund it! Am I being overly suspicious?
Renting the car was quick. There were quite a few people, but the process was short. After a few brief questions, we could pick up the car. The parking lot was huge, with various types of cars. Since I had a reservation, I went straight to my car and drove off. It was a yellow Camaro, a soft-top convertible. The interior had a pleasant scent and was very clean, almost like a new car.
Service was good. Our car had an air conditioning issue, so we swapped the car at a nearby location. The cost was recalculated after an appeal at the rental location.
Alamo were absolutely awful.
We arrived and went to sort the car, we were asked to choice the car, I asked if we just picked any, to which the man said yeah.
We just choose the one he had up, it was the size we needed.
He said I needed a car seat which I had to pay for. He went over the cost of the seat and that was it.
A day later I checked my online banking to see £1200 had gone out of my account. When I looked on the paperwork, we had been charged £1200 for the car. I couldn't understand why as I had paid for the car.
When I looked into it more, we had been charged an upgrade charge and taxes. The car we had was an upgrade. He never at any point said its was upgrade or chargeable. We went back and they changed the car for one we had paid for. The lady we spoke to said she was sorry, but didn't seem surprised.
I think it was awful that we could be offered a car and not told you will pay £1200 more. What A con.
We also didn't need the car seat as all the children were old enough, that did get removed from the costs.
I'm so disappointed that they could do what they did. If I hadn't have gone back we would have been charged all the money.
