Filed Under General
Alamo Car Rental is the third largest car rental agency in the United States, where you can find a large range of rental offers even hybrid cars (but not exotic cars) with gps navigation.. The Alamo Car Rental chain was founded in 1974 Florida. The chain has now expanded to encircle not only the United States, Canada and Mexico but also Africa, Europe, Australia and even the Caribbean as well. The company was previously owned by the Vanguard Automotive Group and was bought over by Enterprise Rent-A-Car; the largest car rental company in North America. Alamo Car Rental introduced the concept of a motto saying “unlimited free mileage” which has helped them immensely in the development up to the current status.
With 15 million travellers annually, Alamo Car Rental owns around 150,000 vehicles. Discounts such as E-coupons are also available with the service of Alamo Car Rental. The company has also an online sight that enables customers to book and rent a car online with minimum inconvenience. The online process is a simple three step one and is available for every Alamo Car Rental location. No more long lines or hassle with Alamo Car Rental anymore.
With the use of collision damage waiver, Alamo Car Rental provides you with the drivers who are the best in the business. They also have a common policy that if a customer returns the vehicle earlier than expected, they are entitled to a waver and are charged an early return fee. Alas it is a universal rule that everything with a pro always has a con. Therefore Alamo Car Rental has often been noted for not providing vehicles for the manoeuvring efficiency of the differently abled. This complain though got taken up at the US Department of Justice and Alamo reached an out of court settlement for it. Other than these minor drawbacks many other advantages have definitely been able to outnumber the drawbacks.
Keeping in mind, however good the mother company is there are instances where you will have to face up with several lagers. These commission hungry salesmen will try their best in whatever way to gain profit. This if done discreetly enough gives the agent quite a good sum of money. It is also important to put comfort ahead of price sometimes depending on the length of your journey. If it’s a long one make sure you chose a comfortable car for all.
Alamo Car Rentals are one of the most convenient car rental companies that one can apply to on short notice. But again it is up to the customer to be smart and not be shammed by shameless sales agents. Make your vacation your vacation and pre budget it so that you can’t be duped in to doing something you don’t want to do. This will however be a possibility with any car rental in the world.
