United Kingdom
Nissan Juke
7/22/24

Pros: Polite, efficient, good car

Cons: The car was only 1/4 full of petrol. I prefer full because it’s easier to ensure it’s at the right level when I return it

Liechtenstein
Nissan Qashqai
5/27/24

Pros: It was a good car, in good condition

Cons: It took about 40 minutes to pick up the car in Edinburg and on its return in Glasgow a missing load cover was identified at the back of the car upon its return. I was never informed about this missing cover, nor did I receive one, which caused some inconvenience.
Netherlands
Vauxhall Corsa
5/19/24

Pros: Everything was super clear. Pickup and drop off were both smooth. The agents were very friendly.

Cons: It was difficult to find the Alamo pickup point in Edinburgh. It's somewhere inside a parking garage. Needed to ask people that were working nearby for directions.

Nissan Juke
4/29/24

Pros: The car was brand new with 4 miles on it. The representative was efficient and had us on the road quickly.

10/12/23

Pros: The staff were very welcoming and efficient in doing their job at both pick up and drop off locations, going through the process of looking at the car and giving information. Was given discount of half tank of fuel as car not cleaned on outside.

Cons: The information on where to pick up the car was initially confusing with email messages to go to station platform as well as the main office near the station. Platform office closed indefinitely. Online check in didn’t speed up the pick up process.
India

Ford Focus
11/26/22

Pros: From start to finish - faultless. The lovely chap we spoke to in Edinburgh (originally from Rochdale) was fantastic. Sorted us out quickly and without fuss. Didn’t make me feel like I was about to get hustled, or some “extras” were going to come back and bite me on the bum. He was great. Our train was cancelled so we just wanted to get home and he made sure it happened. So much so, I would consider hiring a car much more often, in future.
