Alamo just needs to do better in Portland, ME. The staff are doing their best with what they’ve got. When we walked into the rental car area, there was a sea of people. Once we discovered that the Alamo line wrapped around and was near the door to the garage, we were shocked and frustrated. I even went to the Hertz line because there were very few people but they were out of cars. I overheard, I’m assuming a manager, explain to someone that because of the size of the garage, they can only move so many cars in at a time. My suggested solution, and this really is the only way to fix this, Alamo changes the rental availability template for the Portland airport. It’s as easy as that. That counter and facility in no way can handle that volume of business. We were to meet friends in Bar Harbor so they graciously offered to come get us. At that point, we were even afraid that there might not be a car (yes, we had a reservation, but I had lost any faith in how this was going to work out). While we were waiting, (2 +hr drive from Bar Harbor), I decided to go look at the line again. By this time, 2 hours had lapsed. A man who was maybe 8 people behind us in line, was 4 from the counter. So, if we had stayed in that line, our was it time would have been around 2hrs 45 minutes. This is beyond reasonable.

our experience of recent was not the first time. We would not have used Alamo had we had a bad experience. before.. However, this time we returned the vehicle, I realized I was missing a small bag. . I called right away, the person I spoke with did find my bag. . He confirmed where to send it, .said he had mine plus a lot of others to prepare for delivery. . I did not receive it within a 2 week time frame.. So I called to see if it had been sent.. This time, I spoke with Paul (I don't recall the first person's name.. but very nice) the middle of last week.. he found it and would send it out right away.. I got it today. I am not complaining, I am only responding to this experience because I am completely satisfied with the service I received from both gentlemen.. This first person, because I can understand how many items he has to deal with daily, and the second person did as he promised. Good people...Thanks Will definitely call Alamo again!

Poor|Sep 2023

I had rented a car for 2 weeks at a rate of $1097. They didn't have the car I rented and put me in a Nissan economy car. One day into the rental, the car developed mechanical problems while parked in the parking lot at my Camden Maine hotel - flashing headlights and rear lights, but totally dead. Enterprise was singularly unhelpful and took no responsibility for getting me another car. This was a business trip and I was left totally in the lurch. They picked up the car a day later and proceeded to charge me $357.24 for a two-day rental at full cost. Though they have now promised to refund half of the $357.24, I have yet to see that refund on my credit card. I will never rent from Enterprise again, and probably will never rent a car through Kayak either, as I was totally left to come up with an alternative. Cannot believe the appalling lack of customer service.

In spite of Kayak or Hotwire sending me a reservation number when I got to the Portland airport National could not find my reservation and would not rent me a car. I have already sent a blistering email to one of you sucky third parties about this awful experience and I am astonished you keep asking me about it. Truly one of the WORST experiences I have ever had while traveling. Do not contact me again for any reason!!!!!

First car had less than half a tank of gas, and multiple warning lights (tire pressure low, needs oil change…). Second car was dirty- something spilled in back seat, previous renter papers, something spilled on dash-white…At over $100 a day, for a week, nobody checks these cars out?
