Being this was my very first experience using Alamo, I was impressed with the ease of reserving, picking up, and returning a rental. Every staff member I encountered was professional, helpful, and courteous. The initial price of the rental was better than I had expected. I look forward to using Alamo again!

The initial payent of the rental was low, but he final payment upon return was $20 more because we forgot to fill the tank! Overall our rental experience was excellent! My advice: be sure to gas up before returning the vehicle!

Only suggestion / request would be to have the windows cleaned before rental. They were covered with the road salt solution which created a lot of glare from headlights at night. Not being used to the vehicle or the location, it was bit of a driving hazard.

Didn’t have vehicle ready for us. Needed car to drive three hours away to catch flight. Finally Got vehicle and went home to get kids and saw they didn’t install the car seats we rented like originally stated so had to go all the way back to get them. Ended up late for flight to where they almost didn’t let us board and didn’t get to fill tank due to the time because of them so charging me once again to fill the tank. Horrible experience

I reserved and paid for a SUV and received a tiny version of an SUV, very small rental for a very expensive price, horrible customer service, if you ever want to reach the rental location, it takes you to customer service in Mexico, horrible experience, will not re-use nor recommend AVIS. Almost missed my flight.

I was misinformed by the representative of Avis on the process and timing of charges. Was advised that only $200 would be charged to my cc upon pickup of the vehicle, and then the balance due could be paid upon drop off. However, the entire cost of the rental PLUS the $200 deposit was charged immediately to my card right after we picked up the car. Which caused an unfortunate chain of events. My card become overdrawn and caused me to incur additional NSF fees on my bank account.

I like the car and the service, Customer service was fast and car replay for pick up. Perfect timing. I took the car trough Kayak and offer of $103 unlimited mileage and end up being charge by Avis $212.01 no explanation of the change in price and charge, I did not like this, and I'll never get a car with Avis never again.

This location did not have a car available for us upon arrival and the staff was extremely rude. We were left stranded in Buffalo 80 miles from our destination. Luckily there was a Lyft driver available at 1am but it cost $160 to get to our destination. This will be the last time I do business with Kayak or budget car rentals.

Car pickup was terrible. Long lines, not enough counter personnel. The first two cars they gave me were damaged- broken mirror on the first one, broken AC on the second. The third vehicle was fine, but have to go back to the desk three times to get a functional vehicle was not ideal. There does not seem to be any real inspection of vehicles between renters, aside from washing and filling with gas.

Pick up was fine. The car was clean ish but smelled kind of like urine. Drop off was not good. Workers standing around but noone came to accept the drop off. We went inside to drop off the keys and made note of the mileage, gas and time of drop off as per the instructions. The employee said that the information was already logged as the system is electronic. He also told me that I had to pay for a fuel surcharge because the gas tank wasn't completely full. I actually returned the car with more gas than when I picked it up and they still charged me! I filled up 8 miles from the drop off location and explained this to him. He was nice and seemed to empathize but said there was nothing he could do. Beware and go somewhere else!!!

Donna at the Hertz desk (Buffalo-Niagara airport) was AMAZING and very helpful. Unfortunately there seems to be an issue with their vehicle turnover/cleaning/prep workflow as several guests had to wait 45+ minutes for their vehicle.

I appreciated the ability to get a slightly better vehicle for the money using the “manager special” option, but I’m also aware that’s a crapshoot and dependent upon what they have available at any time. Although I got an upgrade, it was a smoked-in vehicle, and rags from the cleaning crew were left in the vehicle.
