What’s Alamo like?

Alamo and sister company Enterprise came in joint fourth place in this year’s survey with little to separate them, except price. Despite the £50-a-day pricing, Alamo is the only major firm in our survey with a four-star value for money.

Readers raved about the speed of pick-up and drop-off – ‘we were in and out in five minutes’, said one. If you check in online (in some locations), you don’t even have to go to the desk. Simply choose a vehicle from your category in the garage. Anyone who’s sweated at the back of a 45-minute rental desk queue will certainly see the appeal. 

Readers were also impressed with the age, condition and mileage of Alamo’s vehicles, but the three-star ‘customer service’ and ‘clarity of extra charges’ ratings show there’s room for improvement. 

Should I book with Alamo?

Alamo’s wide choice of vehicles makes it a good choice for your next American adventure and worth looking for elsewhere for a hassle-free and good-value experience.
