Okay, after reading all the negative things about Alamo here, I was a bit on the hesitant side as I walked up to the counter at the Dolphin. When Melissa, the agent, asked me right away about how many of us were going to be in the car and if I would consider an upgrade, I figured..okay, here it comes..the big pitch. But, I was soooo wrong. Melissa told me she would be eternally grateful if I would take a Buick Rainier rather than the Pontiac G6 I had rented....with no price increase. She said no one would take it since everyone wanted the smaller cars. I said I would, since I drive an Escape and it was just a tad bigger. Then, when I asked her about addtl. drivers, she asked my dh for his license and said no charge at all!
Then, we got to Tampa Intnl early. We had rented at 3 pm on Friday and planned to return the car on Sunday at 5 pm. but we got there about 3ish on Sunday (okay, dh is a bit compulsive about getting to the airport early, but 3:00 for a 7:00 flight is a bit much!!!). They refunded me the addtl 2 hrs price!!!
I have to say that Melissa was the greatest..she made the experience so much better than I had expected. I won't have any issues renting from Alamo in the future. I figured I would post so that there were some opposing views since there are so many negative experiences with Alamo....or maybe I just got really lucky!!!!!
