Alamo car rental or not? Help please

I have the best luck by using http://www.landings.com to get the airport web site. Then you can check which rental companies are right at the airport. The prices are usually competitive and you save time avoiding the shuttle services to off airport rental companies

definitely NO!!

We used Alamo about 4 years ago...got right on that nice air conditioned shuttle (it was about 98 degrees outside)..straight to Alamo. My husband waited for over 2 hours in line and then they argued about our rate that we had printed out on our confirmation. The car we had problems which they later disputed weren't there when we took the car from the lot.

but...me being the nice gal that I am...I gave them the benefit of the doubt. About a year later on a busines trip in Chicago....I had a very important meeting to attend. I left the airport on the "Alamo Shuttle".. to get to the car lot. We were in major traffic and their bus broke down. Needless to say....it was very hot...and I missed my very important meeting that was 2 hours later and got myself into a lot of trouble back home with the boss (even though it was all out out my control). They didn't offer to have another shuttle come and get us either!! I'm not sure what the hell Alamo's problem is but they seem to have it at ALL of their rental places.

my final conclusion...if they offered to rent me a convertible for $1.00 a day......I would laugh...NEVER AGAIN...sorry....this old broad is sticking to National...walk right off the plane, in my car and on the road in about 10 minutes..thats my kind of trip!

just my 2cents worth

'The4ofUs' thank you so much for your reply. I've been away from the boards a few days and just had a chance to read it. I'm so glad your experience went well. I'll be leaving in 2 weeks and hope I can say the same when I return. I haven't found any better rate so I'm going to give them a try.


Oh my!! I see everyone is still giving them thumbs down! Oh well...I'm counting down the days till Disney and I'm not going to let it get me down. Thanks all for the replies.

I like Alamo, have always had great service and good cars. This time we are going with National as their prices are better this trip.
I am sure you will be fine.
