Pros:
Car was goodCons:
Pick up and drop off was very slow, line was long. At drop off they made you wait in the same line to return the car as the people waiting in line to pick up the car. Car return took 30 minutes. Also Kayak did not make Car insurance policies clear, and staff at Alamo were very aggressive at pushing their Insurance options. Their arguments with customers about insurance was one of the things slowing down the pickup/drop off line.2.0 Poor

Pros:
Nothing. They did not have a car even though we booked one. We had to change our entire travel plans because of that. Horrible.Cons:
Uhm, maybe having a car available when you've booked one?2.0 Poor
Anonymous, Apr 2021
Pros:
Even though we had a reservation, there were no cars available when we arrived. We had to rent from another vendor for a much higher price.Cons:
Honoring a reservation would have been the right thing to do.Avis

Pros:
The staff was friendly and very helpful.Cons:
The car radio was broken, and the car was rather low end/ poor quality. It was difficult to pass because the car took a lot of time to accelerate.4.0 Mediocre
Jonah, Apr 2021
Pros:
The staff was friendly.Cons:
The car was terrible. It was completely beat up with significant dents on every panel. The right side mirror did not work. The battery connection was loose and the car didn’t start on multiple occasions. The tires had a slow leak. The car price as quoted should include the mandatory cost of insurance for non Mexicans and not just say it’s extra.Europcar
