Average. When picking up the car, the staff mentioned that besides the car we originally booked, there was a BMW 5 Series Touring available at the same price. We asked if it could fit five suitcases, and the staff said the BMW was more suitable. However, when we went to pick up the car, we found the luggage couldn't fit. We returned to the store for help, but another staff member said it was impossible for him to assist us. When we requested a car swap, he claimed it was already the largest model available and refused to exchange it. His attitude was unfriendly. Eventually, we managed to fit all the suitcases ourselves. There were hidden charges since the so-called deposit has not yet been refunded. It's unclear if, as stated in the booking, no extra fees were supposed to be charged at the store.

The overall service was poor. The reception staff had a bad attitude and did not explain things clearly. Despite having already purchased the supplementary insurance, the rental staff still forcibly tried to sell additional insurance, which was firmly declined. If the company cannot urgently improve the quality of its personnel, I suggest closing this branch. I travel abroad every year and often rent cars, but this was a bad experience. The service attitude of the ALAMO Zurich rental staff was extremely poor and impatient. They also insisted on pushing additional insurance (even though I had already purchased it when booking). The professionalism of the staff at this branch needs urgent improvement. If this reflects the general quality of staff here, I suggest shutting it down.

【Real Experience Renting a Car at Zurich Airport | Lazy Version Summary】 ✅ Pros: 1⃣ Super Convenient Location: The pickup point is directly opposite the airport arrival hall, a 5-minute walk with clear signs. 2⃣ High Service Efficiency: Staff are fluent in English, and the process is completed within 10 minutes, keys handed over directly. 3⃣ Reliable Vehicle Condition: Received a car less than 2 years old, full fuel, clean interior, Swiss car rental quality is trustworthy. ⚠ Notes: ▪ Price Excludes Tax: On-site payment may be about 50% higher than the booking price (e.g., website shows 100 CHF, actual payment around 150). ▪ Be Cautious About Model Upgrades: Avoid being tempted by 'free upgrades' unless necessary, as they might come with hidden tax and insurance costs. ▪ Two Options for Insurance: → Hassle-free: Choose full coverage from the rental company (about 30 CHF extra per day, no need for inspection at drop-off). → Cost-saving: Buy third-party insurance in advance (remember to take videos of the entire car during pickup, especially wheels and windows).

At Zurich Airport, the guy in charge of handing over the car mentioned a lot of fees and said the car was brand new. He required a 2000 CHF deposit. In reality, there were a few scratches. Thankfully, we took some random photos before departure; otherwise, it would have been hard to explain.

Not bad. Chose this company because its brand is close to HERTZ and EURO CAR but with better pricing. However, the remaining cars available were all Japanese models which I'm not fond of.

The car rental process was simple without any insurance upselling. It took just 5 minutes to complete the paperwork. After that, you collect the keys and get the car from the parking lot yourself. QEEQ previously mentioned that an international driving permit was required, but that wasn't the case. I confirmed through the official website that an English translation of my driving license was acceptable, and they accepted it without any issues. Furthermore, I booked a mid-size car (expected i40 or BMW 1 series), but they upgraded it to a Mercedes 220, which was great. Returning the car was as easy as driving to the return location, where a staff member inspected the exterior and dashboard in 3 minutes. The final bill was emailed to me the same afternoon.

No avisaron de que el dia de la devolución NO ESTARÏAN para recibir el coche, ni para llevarme de regreso al Aeropuerto. Ésto no está en ninguno de los puntos que me advirtieron. Hice llamadas y nadie atendió.Me amenazaron por whatsApp de que el traslado al aeropuerto costaba 120CHF, pero no lo habian detallado ni en el contrato ni en todas las advertencias que me hicieron al retirar el coche. Espero que liberen el cargo de reserva porque yo si he cumplido con mi parte y heentregadoel coche en perfectas condiciones + depósito lleno.

This car rental company is really great! Initially, I had to rent a car in a hurry due to a cancelled train. However, the staff at the store were warm and considerate. Although they first upgraded me to a manual car, I later requested an automatic one. Even though it was after their working hours, they still accommodated my request cheerfully and charged a reasonable fee. The entire process was handled with a fantastic attitude, leaving me very satisfied. After returning the car to the drop-off point, their subsequent handling was professional and efficient. They carefully checked the car's condition, and the whole process was quick, smooth, and friendly, without any impatience. It made a very strong impression on me, and I would definitely choose this rental company again if I need to rent a car in the future.
