The set-up assistant missed informing us of the fuel shortage and strikes at the petrol station in Faro. So in the week when we ran out and kept finding closed stations, we spoke with CS and eventually got to Julie after 24 hours of to and fro. She pulled out all the stops to make sure we were fuelled and ok to go and kept in touch till we were happy all was okk
Extremely dissatisfied. Out of the 20 countries where I have self-driven abroad, this was the worst experience. On the second day of the rental, I lost the car key due to my own mistake. A local friend in Portugal tried to help me pick up a spare key from the airport, but I was told I had to go in person. So I took a taxi to the rental location at the airport, only to be told there was no spare key. I was then instructed to personally call the towing company and return to the car's location myself. I took another taxi back to the car and waited for hours. When the tow truck arrived, the towing company said the car must be taken to a repair shop, not the rental office. Additionally, I had to bear all the resulting fees (towing, key replacement, refueling, labor, road service, etc.) myself, as the insurance did not cover them. This was my worst car rental experience ever! Remember the name Alamo. Never rent from this company.
They added mysterious insurance to the order. You must be careful. Even after we told them we didn't need it, they still added extra insurance. The rental company didn't deal with it, so we had to accept the loss.
Unlike my experiences in Spain or previous rentals, at the Porto ALAMO branch, it's self-service for the rental process. It was my first time doing it! I had to figure out how to fill out the forms myself and asked the staff for help when I didn't understand something. After about half an hour of effort, I finally completed the rental process.
