Good car and trip with sourish ending
Pros: The car was very good for our needs in Belize and the people were very nice, professional and helpful.
Cons: It was disappointing at the end when we were charged for smoking in the car because of some scent detected even though we did not smoke in the car ever. This was unfair and caused us to leave Belize with a bit of an unpleasant attitude. It's just money, but more it's the principle of it. They could just as easily charge someone for a scratch on the car that was already there, or some similar scenario. The staff and owner were nice, but in the end they did not accept our repeated and truthful insistence that we were not guilty of what they were saying. We felt like we were getting ripped off without being able to do anything about it and that our truth was not believed.

Scam aleart!!! Charge $150.00 For cleaning fee.
Cons: The car itself was fine. Other than bad tires, but pretty sure that's just standard for the area. We stayed in Hopkins for our trip. Which are all dirt roads. Very dusty, very dry. Never rained a day we were there. When we returned the car it was dusty of course. We were told we were going to be charged $150.00 For a cleaning fee. We were never told we needed to clean the car ourselves, and when I asked her to show me in the contract where it stated that, she pretended to read the fine print. Then after about 10 minutes she look up and said we damaged the car. Straight forward scam. Rent somewhere else.

Easy start to finish
Pros: No wait time when picking up or dropping off, very efficient. Aleta the Alamo representative wisely suggested we upgrade to an all-wheel-drive vehicle to traverse the rocky roads leading up to our lodge in the jungle. Great service, friendly staff, our car (Kia Sportage) was reliable and in tip-top shape. Will rent from Alamo again.

Pros: The staff at the Belize airport were very helpful and courteous. We had a problem with the KIA AWD about three-quarters of the way through our two-week stay. With no hesitation, Jorge (one of the staff) drove a new truck two and a half hours to us in Hopkins. Great Service.

Pros: The staff at Alamo in Belize City was professional, helpful and personable. They were the best part of my experience with Alamo. We became well acquainted as I was there the first day of my trip, the second day of my trip and the fifth day of my trip.
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

Pros: The staff. The lady at the counter (from Cristo Rey) gave us maps, directions, hints, even lent her cell phone so we could check on our credit card insurance coverage. She was the best! The young man at check-in was also terrific, and gave us a ride to the ferry terminal.

Belize car rental standards may be lower than what you expect.
Cons: The original vehicle we received had a check engine light as well as an air bag light displayed on the dashboard. When I questioned the Budget employee on this he stated "don't worry the airbag will work". I had to insist on a different car before being given the choice between a newer dirty car or a severely beaten up but clean older one. We chose the newer dirty one with bald tires and a disconnected rear washer nozzle that we discovered only after attempting to use it at which time it simply dumped a large quantity of washer fluid down from the rear ceiling area saturating our luggage.

Sketchy Car
Pros: There were options for upgraded cars. I originally reserved a compact SUV and upon arrival found that the car i was to receive was a hatchback car that was a stick shift. The attendant was willing to upgrade us at no cost to a Suzuki SUV to accommodate our luggage.
Cons: The car we were upgraded to was not of good quality. The windows did not roll down, the vent broke once we got out of the airport, the radio display did not work, and the suspension was horrible. The car could not go 55mph without wondering all over the road and feeling like it was going to tip over. Our friends went with Alamo Rentals and received a newer Ford Explorer for a small increase in price. In the future we will be going with a different company to insure reliability and comfort.

Pros: Very easy pick up and drop off. When we got the car at the airport and told them we'd be going to water taxi after drop off, they suggested we drop the car off at their other office, closer to to the city center, and then they would drive us to to water taxi pier, rather than having to take a cab. It all worked out smoothly and I was appreciative of their efforts.
Cons: Nothing. It was a totally positive experience.

Do your research!
Pros: While traveling to Placencia, I reserved a car with Budget at the airport. I paid for the extra insurance online as was advertised. Don't use Budget or the Allianz insurance while traveling to Belize, the coverage isn't accepted and they will try to charge you $50 US/day. This isn't made clear online anywhere. Long story short, we had to find another company at the airport to rent from for the week.
Cons: Don't advertise insurance if you can't use it. Wasting customer money is not good customer service.

Pros: Car itself was nice
Cons: If you pay with Visa, they charge you an extra $20 per day for insurance - that was my biggest complaint. Also, nobody looked at the car with me before I took it to see if there was any damage already.

Terrible car, OK drop off service.
Pros: They allowed me to drop off the car at a location closer to the water taxi, and then drove us to the water taxi, so we saved $25.
Cons: The car was not cleaned at pick-up, they required that I buy insurance when I had already purchased insurance online, and the vehicle itself did not accelerate uphill very well. There were times that I thought we would get stuck on a hill because the Suzuki just would not go, not even in first gear. They should replace that car ASAP.
