The car was a good price but got hit with having to pay more for the insurance than the actual car! Rip off! Returned car back a day early as well.. and no refund or anything .. pathetic customer service.

Value for money was a priority. Being collected from the airport to the depot is very easy and make it an easier access out of the airport with no worries. We are very happy with all that you offered and well done to your fabulous Staff. Jane Derham

I had to cancell within 40 hours of the hire date due to unforeseen circumstances. Your 48 hour cancellation policy is out of step with industry standards and blatantly unfair. I will never use your company again.

Okay|May 2022
Very disappointed that I had to make arrangements to return the hire car the day prior to expected (prior to 4.45pm) as there is no after-hours key return. My flight was 7.10am and I was advised I could not drop off until after 9am.
Wanted to charge more for insurance than the actual rental so I didn't take the car

So pick up was perfect. Drop off we were approached by someone who wanted the keys, no uniform no ID and when we asked for ID and said we would follow instructions and leave keys in key drop, the staff got shirty with something to the effect of ‘fine walk to the terminal see if I care’ and was very rude. It would have been the worst if they were scammers and the car got taken…. Very disappointing. We were simply looking after your car

The Alamo desk is right near the baggage claim with only a short walk to the car. Almost 30% cheaper than the others. Car was clean and sized correctly

Mediocre|Jun 2022
Signage for the company at Adelaide airport was woeful! We walked between the terminal and the car area three times before another company staff member told us where the desk was situated. When we finally found the desk, we mentioned it to the staff member who said they are trying to get a sign made for customers to see. Not trying hard enough really. A4 with a texta pen would have been sufficient. The check in was very slow....due to the computer. We advised we would be needing the car for one less day and asked for a refund (prepaid). Staff advised we would have to go through the third party that we had booked with. A long story but looks like we will not be seeing that money again. The car was fine a Kona. Drove well no issues. We will not be using Alamo or the third party to book a car again. Sorry.

The car was clean and worked well. The signage of the airport 'office' is not visible enough. One of the staff didn't seem to know everything about his job, however the others were very friendly and professional.
Very cheap car hire. Unfortunately pick up/drop off not located at the airport. Was a bit of a mission to organise shuttle pick up unable to get through on number provided on website. Man was quite rude when we returned the car, we advised that the tyre pressure was low as came up on the dash, he was quick to say we must have popped the tyre. Didn’t appreciate his manner, however no issues during handover.
