Good experience but very poor administration from Alamo

Very satisfied. My original reservation for a Volvo XC60 was upgraded to a Volvo XC90 by the store. The vehicle was very new, having only 5600 miles on it, and the trunk space was much larger compared to the XC60. The staff was professional and attentive.

Excellent service, very efficient.

The representative's attitude was not great. We arrived 20 minutes early to pick up the car but still received it almost 30 minutes later than scheduled. Less than an hour into driving, the screen showed a 'low engine coolant' warning. At the next city's service point, the rental company said this brand's cars often have this issue and to just ignore it, though the warning kept appearing throughout the trip. The trunk can only fit three 28-inch suitcases, which is somewhat different from the official description.

No lines, but it took more than an hour to process my order, extremely inefficient. The car prepared for me was 1-2 categories smaller than what I booked, and our luggage couldn't fit in the trunk. Fortunately, after coordination with QEEQ, they agreed to change the car, but there were no larger cars available on-site. After waiting for more than an hour (the rental desk clerk kept making calls), they still couldn't find a suitable car. Eventually, I had no choice but to take a smaller BMW 320d, which caused us to have to put a suitcase in the back seat. This car is a diesel hybrid, extremely fuel-efficient, consuming less than 5 liters per 100 kilometers.

Alamo really stood above previous experiences with other rental companies. They were quick and efficient and the value was outstanding. I will rent from them again at LGW without hesitation.
