Alamo Rent A Car

Easy rental. I rented online 1 week before I arrived at Orlando. I opted for the super savings deal where I don’t pick a car until I arrive. I was told to pick any vehicle in a certain row. I had a nice selection from compact to minivan. I opted for the minivan and paid the same as a compact car. Great deal no hassles. I even skipped the counter and did everything online. You just have to print the paper with a barcode in order to skip the counter. I walked in, showed my paper to garage attendant, picked my vehicle, and drove to exit booth sowed my credit card and I was off.

Best rental experience I’ve ever had. Great price, so easy with online check-​in, no pressure to add extras, simple return.

Great experience. Get to choose the vehicle you want from the area they direct you to choose from. It’s nice to have a little control. All the extras and insurance are offered, but they don’t beat you up trying to sell it. Simply, decline and move on to choosing your automobile and getting on your way. Also want to highlight that Alamo is at the airport so you don’t have to allow extra time for shuttles or juggle luggage on and off the shuttles.
Warning, DO NOT book Economy as I did on a previous MCO trip. You will be tempted, because they initially quote such a good price. When you finally get to Economy the deal will disappear as they insist you must buy their insurance even if you are already covered with your credit card or your insurance company as I am and was at that time with USAA. USAA even covers loss of rental fees to the rental company while auto is in repair, but Economy wouldn’t let me have the auto unless I bought the insurance. I also had proof from USAA right there on my iPhone and I forwarded via e-​mail to Economy for their records. Still they just wore me down till I had to get going and didn’t have time to change rental agencies. Two days later into my 18 day rental I found a charge on my AMEX credit card (not debit) that Economy had posted and a $ 150 charge for security deposit. Triple covered with insurance and Economy still took a security deposit without a mention, notice, or sign. Very, very frustrating. Don’t be tempted.

I chose the Drive Happy Deal for my recent trip to Orlando. I was skeptical at first not knowing what I would get but was pleasantly surprised when we got a great rate and ended up getting a small SUV instead of our usual compact car. The car was new and beautiful, the clerk was very nice and not pushy to sell us any «extra’s» that we don’t want. Pick up and drop off was a breeze!

I booked my mini-​van rental via
. I received the rate I was promised. When you arrive at the counter, the sales person tries to add the standard items, i.e. fuel, navigation tool, insurance, etc. You can obviously decline them or get what you want in addition to what you have already paid via Hotwire. Once you say «no» the first time, the sales person here didn’t try to push you to get something on top of what you already bought into.
Once you get your keys, you just have to walk across the street and get your car. Pick out any car in the size model you selected. My wife and I carefully looked at all of them and got the best one out of the litter.
Note: Adding a navigation aid will cost you $ 99.99 per week and a car booster seat is $ 60 per week. Currently, unleaded fuel in the local area is $ 2.31 so do the math before you buy into the rental dealers plan.
I would use Alamo at this location as I do when I travel to Hawaii. Great service all around.

We skipped the counter and went straight to our car. It was very smooth process. I wasn’t crazy about the Ford Focus but it was what you pay for. I would recommend Alamo just another car.

By far the best car rental experiences I’ve had to date. Fast, easy, efficient. We did the online check in and it was smooth sailing. We skipped the desk and went straight to the parking garage to pick our car. I love having the option to choose a car. We went with a blue Hyundai Elantra from Kentucky. It was clean and fuel efficient. Only complaint was the sour beach smell but it went away after the first day. We will be renting with Alamo from now on. Thank you, Alamo Orlando!

I used to live in Orlando and now I visit Orlando a few times a year. I always book a rental car with Alamo. Why? I’ve had nothing but seamless experiences renting with them, so why change? Have you seen the lines for rental cars at the Orlando airport? Alamo allows me to check in and pay for the car online before my arrival, go directly to the parking lot to pick out any car I want in the category I booked, and then show my paperwork, license, and credit card at the gate as I drive out. I don’t have to wait in lines, and I don’t have to take time to «check in.» When you’re on vacation, every minute is precious, and I don’t want to wait in lines any more than I’ll already have to elsewhere.

We have used Alamo at MCO twice and will continue to use them and refer friends, family, and other travelers. Their prices are usually the best for onsite airport rental, they are open 24hrs for early or late flights, check-​in is quick and smooth, you get to pick any car that is within your category, and returns are a breeze.
Being able to select the car we rented was key in our last rental. We have just moved to Orlando and needed a truck because we had 2 dog crates, luggage, and a car seat. We didn’t want to be stuck with a giant truck, but we did need to make sure we had a double cab. We went out to the rental garage and we were able to find a Nissan Frontier quickly. The trucks were mixed in with other categories, which was slightly inconvenient, but trucks stick out easily in the mix of cars.

Did everything online and it was smooth. When I got to the garage just needed someone to tell me what to do (just take a car from the class you reserved, keys are on the dash) and we were off! Returning it was easy as well, there’s a sharp left just before you hit the Arrivals section of the terminal, pull around and drop it off and head in to the terminal.
Rented a pickup truck, it was new, clean and a pleasure to drive, with plenty of frills like 4×4, bluetooth and rearview camera.

Double check your bill.
I made an online reservation for a mid size suv for 4 days with a quoted price of $ 220. I elected to «skip the counter» to save some time — this is a feature where you can go directly to the garage, pick out a car and drive off without having to wait at the counter. A day later, I checked my credit card activities online and noticed that Alamo charged me $ 650 for the rental — I thought this might be a credit card «hold». But when I returned the car, this was the amount shown on the receipt. I ended up having to clean up this mess with the manager on duty (who had a bad attitude). I did not end up saving anytime after all and I’m glad I double checked the amount charged. Deceptive practice.

This was the quickest, smoothest car rental ever. The cars where great quality.
Personal was on top of it no delays.
Quick and easy.
Diffenitly recommend here on orlando.

We had a good experience at check in, when we were getting our rental car which I had reserved ahead of time. My husband and I were driving down the keys to Key West from Orlando.
The car was a small Nissan Note, clean and efficient but had an irritating hum as the car drove. My husband said it was the tires-​that although they were probably new it was just the way the car was built.
I was able to snag a deal through Virgin America Elevate, and I earned points while paying $ 107 for the the rental from Saturday morning, returning Monday morning at Key West International airport.
We didn’t have to wait too long when we checked in at the Orlando airport. Brian helped us out and was very pleasant.
One random thing I was charged by Alamo in NY (maybe a corporate office) an erroneous charge of $ 11.98. I did call the bank to make sure my card had not been compromised. The car was spotless so it couldn’t have been a cleaning fee. I would like to think it was a simple clerical mistake, not a purposeful and fraudulent charge. Either way it was reimbursed by my bank.

Good, well-​maintained car, good prices, very easy check out and return. Renting through our RCI account saved a lot of money (other affiliation discounts are also available). Alamo is a reputable and highly competitive company. It was a pleasure to rent from them.
As mentioned in other reviews, it would have been helpful if more information was emphasized about Orlando’s unusually extensive toll road system. There was an «offer» for a transponder add-​on listed on a card on the counter that would automatically bill tolls to our account, but this wasn’t mentioned by the rental agent and we didn’t know to ask. In hindsight, it would have been very useful! More information and a toll road map would have really helped.

Booked them via Costco Travel. The person at the desk was friendly and courteous. He did not push any extras that I declined (e.g., GPS, insurance), and he explained the toll system very well, which seems much better than SunPass options other rental companies have. (I think it’s $ 3/​day that you USE a toll road, linked to the license plate, plus the cost of the actual toll. So not like $ 10/​day to rent a transponder or anything like that, so you don’t have to decide then and there whether or not you’ll be using a toll road for the entirety of your trip). The car I got was new, only had like 8000 miles on it.
Returning the car went very quickly despite the fact that it was very busy. I’m glad I went with this company as there are so many in the area that seem shady and unreliable. Having the desk and car rental right IN the airport is far more convenient than having to take a shuttle anywhere.

Employees were kind, polite and greeted me with a smile. Thanks Rocio!
— good prices
— very new cars.
— the register person didn’t try to upsell me on anything.
— it was as swift transaction!

Through the years, I’ve used nearly every major rental car company at least once. The past three trips, I’ve found good value with Alamo. I like the fact that I can check in online, bypass the counter, and pick a car from among those in my rental class. The selection varies according to season and airport, and so far I find no predictable pattern. No problems with the Orlando Airport location, loved my Chevy Impala, which I couldn’t select even in my hometown, birthplace of General Motors. Thanks, Alamo, for a good rental experience.

I travel frequently and it was one of the easiest transactions for picking up a rental car. Instead of visiting the counter, I decided to use the kiosk to get the paperwork done before heading over to the garage to get my car. There was an employee nearby that walked over and helped with the process. Once the paperwork was generated, I took it over to the garage to pick up my car. In the garage, they have people there directing you to the row of cars that you could choose from. You just need to show your paperwork and driver license to the gate attendant and then you’re on your way.
Returning the car was pretty simple. They have a return area for both terminals at MCO. Just follow the signs and drive up to the front. Someone will be there to check your mileage and give you your receipt. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

This was the easiest car rental experience I have ever encountered.
Granted, it made little sense why there would only be one maxed to capacity attendant during a time of heavy airport traffic.
Yeah.
Took a while longer than necessary to get up to the counter and out with the keys. But, no worries. We made up time, especially since this location is within the airport. Not across the street. Not around the corner. Right in the airport.
And we were very satisfied with the cutie, little Dodge Dart we were able to rent. After checking in and signing the requisite paperwork, you take your documents across the way, find a car you like and drive off. Keys are in the vehicles. Simple as that. Nice!
Drop off was easier and less busy. You just queue up, do a quick inspection, hand over the keys and bail. Easy as that.
Only ding: If you have AAA, make your reservation in advance either through AAA or via the site or phone. Do not attempt to get a AAA discount at the counter. Your membership will not be acknowledged or recognized.
In fact, do not wait until you are on site to try and get a vehicle. Yes, Alamo had many offerings, from mini vehicles to minivans. But seems like this place keeps them going on a swift rotation. That’s not to say you won’t get lucky with an available vehicle if you show up on spot. You likely will. But why risk it?

For me personally renting a car when on going vacation is usually pretty simple:
* Good Rate
* Ideally in terminal without some lengthy shuttle bus ride
* Nice mix of vehicles
* Easy in/​out of terminal to highway
* Customer service that is not akin to something from the Soviet Union
Thankfully Alamo fit the bill on all of these.
Made a reservation a few days in advance because of a coupon code I found online (a legit one) that took a day’s rental off of the bill along with the cost per day being in the seven dollar range which was more than good enough for me.
No need to visit the counter as long as you enter your info online during the reservation process (have your ID & printed confirmation sheet with you). Just head down to the first floor then across the road to the rental car area and Alamo is off to the right. Pick any car in the row that corresponds to what you reserved and you’re ready to go to the check out gate (the keys are already in the door lock).
After that it’s one left and a merge and you’re on the highway.
Easy? Oh, hell yes!
The two employees we dealt with were both great and all things considered this was about as easy a pickup and drop off as you could hope for. I would have no trouble recommending Alamo to others as everything was as expected from beginning to end. A+

Ich kann viele der negativen englischen Beiträge zu diesem Platz nicht nachvollziehen. Wir machten sehr positive Erfahrungen:
Wir hatten das Auto durch CANUSA aus Deutschland vorbestellt. Kategorie Midsize. Am Schalter dachten wir zunächst, uns trifft der Schlag — so lang war die Schlange. Aber es ging ratz-​fatz, nach kurzem Warten waren wir dran. Nach Aufgabe unserer Reservierungsnummer brauchten wir nur noch unsere Führerscheine vorzeigen und auf dem Vertragsformular diverse Initial abgeben und eine Unterschrift. Machte ich fast blind, da ich aus Deutschland bereits alle Risiken abgedeckt hatte und somit auf der sicheren Seite war. Der Herr am Schalten überaus freundlich und wünschte uns zum Abschluss einen schönen Urlaub.
Uns wurde noch das Maut-​System in Florida erklärt und wie es bei dem Mietwagen abgerechnet wird. Dann wurden wir in das Parkhaus gegenüber vom Terminal geschickt, meldeten uns mit unseren Unterlagen bei einer Dame, die uns zu den Fahrzeugen der Midsize-​Kategorie wies. Dort sollten wir uns eines aussuchen, in allen stecke der Fahrzeugschlüssel. Wir könnten jeden Wagen dort nehmen, auch wenn dort ein Fahrzeug höherer Kategorie stehen sollte.
Und so nahmen wir eines der höheren Kategorie. Mit einem fast neuen Chevrolet SUV ging es raus auf den Highway.
Negative Erfahrung? Nichts davon. Wenn alles im Leben immer so glatt und reibungslos laufen würde! Schau’n wir mal, wie die Abgabe in Miami in einigen Tagen laufen wird.
