Hi all,
Last year we rented from Dollar and had a good experience. this year we have found a rate 30 bucks cheaper on Alamo but I have not seen very good reviews of their service. What do you experts think?

I'm in the same boat having used Dollar and their FastLane counter several times. In Jan. I'm using Alamo but I signed up for QuickSilver. It's for businesses, so on the form I put my web domain name, a 'Dot Com' that has yet to make any money, and we'll see how that goes.

Bill...It looks like you will be back before we go, make sure and post how your Alamo experience is/was. Thanks!

We just rented a car from Alamo 11/27-12/4. Our experience with them was great. I was nervous because of all the bad reviews on here, but Alamo's price was almost $100 dollars cheaper than some of the other companies so I figured it was worth a shot. When we got to the counter there was only 1 person in front of us. The only gripe I have with them is they try to nickel and dime you for everything from buying their insurance to buying gas through them. But as long as you're assertive and tell them "no" to everything, you'll be fine. I'd use them again.

We used Alamo last week. We rented a minivan which was cheaper than anyone else. We had no problems. I would not hesitate to use them again.

Hi,
We just returned yesterday (12/14) and rented from Alamo. Everything went very smooth.
There was a bit of a line, making for a 20 min. delay, but from what I was told, the printers were acting up. Once on track, the line moved swiftly.

They did ask if I wanted the additional insurance coverage. Although I declined, I did have to repeat myself to decline. (Just for good measure, I had my ins. co. send me a letter that I brought on the trip that states my coverage covers rentals, etc.)

So, overall, our experience was very good
