Renting a car at Alamo for a 5 day trip to Hungary which we extended to a 6 day trip during our trip was the best choice. Value for money was extremely well. At the airport we got served by a young man who was extremely helpful, efficient and friendly. He also extended our trip with one day in a very quick and flexible way when we asked for it. We rented 2 cars and got an upgrade foc on both of them. The cars were in a very good shape. Returning of the cars was very easy. We were allowed (because of a baby that we were carrying with us) to drop the car at the temrinal building. I have a lot of experience renting cars, but this was the best experience ever.

Definitely do an internet search before renting. Without compromising the quality of service and the quality of car you can cut your rental rate significantly. Dicover provided great pricing and service.
