Belize City Car Rentals

Cons: Right from the start, the car that I had reserved is not what I received. As a disabled veteran with bad knees, it was very uncomfortable for me to drive the Kia Soul that they gave me. I asked when they would have something different and they told me to come back the next day. The following day I was in a Ford Escape. I drove the Ford for three days and on the third day the Low Tire Pressure light came on. When I got out to check I saw that I had a flat tire on the rear driver side. As I changed the tire on the side of the road I saw that there was steel thread showing on the inner edge of the flat tire. I decided to look at all the tires and found that the other rear tire also had steel thread showing as well. This upset me as it put my two-year-old, my wife and me in danger. there is no reason a car should ever leave a lot in that condition. The flat occurred 30 miles west of Belmopan which is an hour and a half away from Belize City. We never made it to our destination (San Ignacio to see the ruins) instead it was a wasted day of a vacation that we had been looking forward to for some time. I limped the car back to Belize City on a doughnut and a bad tire as I did not want my family sitting on the side of the road for an hour and a half. The crew at Alamo was apologetic and gave us a Ford Explorer which was very nice and had decent tires (we checked). I spent more time thinking and dealing with the rental car agency than I should of. I am upset about my family having been put in danger due to worn and unsafe tires and upset over losing a day of vacation. I am so upset in fact that I am writing this 30 minutes after walking in the door from the airport. To reiterate, lovely people but it took multiple tries to get it right. Leo Barahona

Cons: The communication was difficult. Scheduling an after-hours pick-up and drop-off is not the easiest thing to do given their hours of operation. Many flights arrive and depart outside of their operating hours.

Cons: 600.00 for a mediocre ford escape for 8 days is steep

Cons: Alamo doesn't seem to have any of their own cars and pass you off to a local company called crystal who jacks up the price on you its not a huge amount but it's defiantly a shady operation there.
