Pickup process was quick, and they arranged a check-up swiftly when the car had warnings. However, they couldn't provide the agreed model and pressured me into an upgrade, costing me a few hundred dollars.

We returned the car late at night and paid the deposit in cash. They didn't return the cash deposit then and asked us to pick it up the next day. However, when we went to get it, $20.0 was missing. Due to the language barrier, we couldn't figure out why and didn't have time to ask.

Brand new car!

The clerk forcibly insisted that we buy third-party insurance, claiming it was required by California law. I checked online and found no such law. The Asian clerk began to stall and refuse to complete the transaction. I mentioned that I had rented a car from this Alamo location five days ago with no such requirement, and the clerk became hesitant but still did not verify the law with a manager or provide us with any documentation. The whole incident was very unpleasant. I hope that in the future, Zuzuche improves their system to inform renters in advance about necessary insurance requirements at the rental location, preventing forced sales.

Overall it's quite good, with a competitive price. They didn't push any extra items when picking up the car. Since I was planning a road trip, I opted for roadside assistance at $5 per day, which is reasonable. Alamo is quite friendly about opting out of certain charges, like crossing the Golden Gate Bridge (north to south); if you pay online yourself, you can automatically opt-out of Alamo’s charges without contacting them. Picking up a car at San Francisco airport was quite intense, it felt like there were more people than cars, and you had to grab one as soon as it appeared.
