Book Alamo car rentals in Seattle

Cons: car was not clean

Cons: No need to upgrade or get any bells and whistles the way the staff may try and sell you on

Cons: We thought it was strange when we picked up the car it only had a half tank of gas, but since it was our first time renting we weren't sure if that was normal or not- turns out you're supposed to have it filled when you get it. It wasn't a big deal because we were in a hurry. However, after the first day we noticed how bald the tires were. I mean, so bald there was no tread and the metal wires from inside the tire were clearly showing. We had a 2 week rental and were traveling from Seattle to Los Angeles. I'm appalled they would send out a car with tires in such terrible and dangerous condition, especially for a renter who was driving so far. After having the car for 4.5 days a chunk of rubber came off of our passenger side tire, but it was still holding air. At this point in our trip we were camping on Mt. Hood in Oregon with no cell phone reception. The next day we had a flat driver's side tire and had to put the donut tire on ourselves, since we didn't have service to call Alamo's customer service. When I could call customer service they suggested we drive to Portland to exchange our car. It was well out of our way to have to exchange the car and ruined a full day of our trip- let alone the stress of driving down a curvy mountain afraid of a tire blowout. Once I exchanged for a different car at the Portland Alamo the new rental worked out fine but had not AUX input- which was inconvenient. My advice is check your tires. Do not trust Alamo to make sure your rental vehicle is in safe driving condition.

Cons: The crosswalks should be labeled better when crossing in front of the lanes off traffic.

Cons: Tricky location to find if you are not familiar with the city.

Cons: to add Satellite radio after the rental period started, I had to physically walk up to another Alamo location just to activate it. Phone people would not activate it as an extra when we called.

Cons: None.

Cons: It was hard to find the place. They didn't indicate that the tank wasn't full when I left, so they charged me for several extra gallons of gas when I dropped off.

Cons: Location was at the garage above and not the actual office below. I always think those tidbits should be included in the "location information" when you rent so you have a heads up.

Cons: was not told to refill the gas

Cons: Don't have anything.

Cons: It was tough to find the exact place for drop-off (despite the convenient downtown location), and I'm still not sure if I navigated the drop-off protocol correctly.

Cons: Info on office door showed it was open to 7 but it closed at 6!

Cons: Nothing - it was great!

Cons: returning the car after office hour is a hassle. No instruction was given.

Cons: The car was awful to drive, uncomfortable seat, awkward steering wheel positioning, the auxiliary audio input didn't work, it doesn't have cruise control, the steering was loose and not very responsive; I know it was a compact car but I've driven other compact/economy cars that were so much better than this one. The pick up was fine, good customer service and I was in and out fairly quickly. The drop off not so much, the customer service person was not friendly, I handed her the keys and she looked at me like "what are you still doing here"? Then she asked me if I wanted a receipt and I said "Yes please". She didn't speak another word to me and then typed up the receipt and handed it to me, no eye contact, no words. The receipt was for around $83 which was the estimated total cost when I reserved the car so that was nice. But then the next day I got another charge for $24.01 with no explanation, no e-mail, no phone call, no nothing. What was this charge for?! The car had more gas in it when I dropped it off than it did when I picked it up. The car was clean, I even picked up some trash that was in it before I picked it up. There was no damage, I returned it hours earlier than I needed to. This was a terrible experience and I will never use Alamo again.
