Once again it was a smooth and easy process

- the car had a scratch - the front windshield water pump was not working (I discovered that later when I thought there was no water so I added water but still it didn’t work)

- I was supposed to have lid an insurance if the tank was not returned full but when I picked it up at the Alamo Counter they said that I needed to return it with a full tank

The whole process of collecting the car is very smooth and the counter staff is able to explain very clearly on the terms and conditions. The staff will ask if you need the insurance coverage from them but she did not try to hard sell to me. My recommendation is not to subscribe to any insurance from the online car rental portal you are using but to purchase directly at the Alamo counter. This approach will give you a worry free trip as you are able to call Alamo for direct assistance if required instead of calling the insurance agency direct while overseas.

Very clear and easy use of the website. However, it will be great to specify the differences in using your own insurance coverage as compared to those provided by the car rental company. This will reduce a lot of unhappiness between customers and the car rental companies.

Excellent experience

Excellent experience

The first staff member we dealt with was extremely unhelpful and was not interested in answering very simple questions about the insurance and made the start of the pick up process frustrating, particularly after a long flight. The manager on duty who we dealt with after being fobbed off by the first staff member was fantastic, answered our questions simply and helped us understand the difference between the insurance policies that we booked through Easyrentcars and Alamo - the two companies provide different levels of cover with different cover providers depending on what insurance you book.

The booking was easy enough to complete and gave me the options i would expect and wanted to see which was fantastic. The major drawback is that the Easyrentcars use separate insurance providers for different levels of cover. They used Alamo for a basic insurance package, but for additional levels of cover, use a separate provider for the additional cover. This was not very clear and made the pick up process unneccesarily frustrating.

I had already checked in online, but had to do it again at the pick up. Waste of time doing it twice!

It was good
