Lady at desk tried to charge me more than my reserved rate & had hard time resolving the issue. However, once that was squared away the folks out in the garage couldn't have been more nice & accommodating. Car we had was clean & in excellent repair. Checking back in process was fast / pleasant/ accurate. Would rent here again no question about it.

Booked through Costco. Went to the counter (slight line). Process at the counter was straight forward. Attendant was nice. Got the info finalized. Went to the garage and the attendant there said the category to choose cars from. Car was good the whole trip. Returned elsewhere. I'd do the same process again.

Alamo Rental in Charlotte Airport. The Transition from first picking up the rental at the desk was a pleasure. And then to returning the truck , it was so easy No stress at all. Pull up grab your things and head to your gate. It was such a pleasure. I will definitely be choosing Alamo for our next visit.

I rent my cars from Alamo for many reasons. The reservation process was seamless and straightforward. I did everything online--reservation, check-in, and without ever needing to visit the counter. I was able to skip the line, avoid filling out paperwork on-site, and simply head straight to the car lot to pick up my vehicle. It was so convenient to handle it all from the comfort of my seat. Plus, if any issues arise, Alamo's customer service is exceptional!

Signage for Car Pickup in Charlotte Airport did NOT match instructions given in email. Floor numbers were not aligned and therefor up and down, down and up, and some guesswork (logical thinking) were required to find where to get the car and be able to SKIP the counter. No person was around in the garage as we were determining from which row to select our vehicle. Also, clarification of SUV mid-size wasn't obvious. The car we selected turned out to be older (38k miles) and the back seat was stained and dirty. Unfortunately, we didn't realize until the following day when we had a passenger for the backseat. It was gross. Drop-off (a day early and in a different city) was expensive - it cost me an additional $130 or so. This change was due to the arrival of Hurricane Helene. I think the weather should have eliminated additional costs - in light of safety and need for change of travel plans. Not a great car rental experience, overall. I rent cars 3-5 times per year. I will not use Alamo unless there is no alternative.

Rented at the Charlotte Airport. The desk agent did a nice job getting me going in a timely manner. Had no issues with my rental. He did a great job helping the customer in front of me get a car for a trip to California. Person was military and got the run around from another rental company. From what I could tell the Alamo staff went above and beyond to help out.

My family got stuck in Charlotte, NC when the second leg of our travels from Dublin, Ireland to Fort Myers, FL was cancelled with no flight available for three days. Alamo's agent was very courteous and helpful as she helped my family get a car right away and finish our trip. The process was quick, and we were in a clean car in less than 20 minutes from point of contact.

I recently rented from Alamo Car Rental at Charlotte's Douglas International Airport and I chose the skip the line option. From the time I stepped onto the lot until the return of the vehicle, I had nothing less than phenomenal Customer Service. I was immediately greeted and assisted to my vehicle, and my bags were placed in the vehicle for me. The vehicle was very clean. There were several associates available for further assistance throughout the lot. Very nice vehicles available. I also received communications regarding airline software issues that may have affected my rental period and the need for adjustments. I will be an Alamo Car Rental for life. The experience was 1000 times better than an experience at another airport with another well known rental company!

We arrived with a belated plane from Germany and were already exhausted, but they were all very helpful and operation went smooth. I think his name was Macaulay, who got us to our rental and was really welcoming. Next time in the States, Alamo it is again.

Being an Alamo Insider allowed me to skip the counter at a very busy Charlotte airport and literally walk up to my car and drive away. A very good experience with a Genesis sedan. I highly recommend Alamo and all that they are trying to do to help make my travel time simple and easy.

The attendant at pickup was next to useless, just pointed in a general direction and went back to his phone. The next day a low tire air pressure warning popped up. I called the number given and was told they could not assist in anyway, but I was more than welcome to change my plans and exchange vehicles. I later got a text also offering to exchange vehicles if I cared to change my plans. Rating would have been one star had it not been for a VERY positive experience at vehicle return.

Josh was great in explaining all the different SUV types available. I needed awd and he helped me find the best one for my needs. Everyone at the charlotte airport was kind, knowledgeable and so treated me great even when returning the car! Thank you!

I had a rental reservation for 1am , my flight was delayed so I called Alamo and they took my flight info and assured me that their policy is to wait when there is a delay. Arrived at the airport at 2am while waiting for luggages I called again and they assured me again that their policy is to wait and we still had time and the car would be there. Get to alamo 2:40am and was told that the person on the phone mislead us that they were not able to help us til 4am! Had to wait with my 2 year old and 4 year old until they decided to open again , there was no one waiting to rent us our car. They also charged me for additional driver when I had said it was for my spouse, I see on their website that spouse driver is free of charge! Alamo at the Douglas int Airport of Charlotte North Carolina makes up their own policies and rules not the same as other alamo rentals!very disappointed!

This process for Alamo was so slick. We bypassed standing in line at the counter and went right to our car. We got a beautiful SUV (pallisades) to drive. Drop off was so easy. loved it.

I love renting from Alamo but its a hassle because I only have a debit card. So i cant use the skip the counter and because I have frontier Go Wild plan where you purchase 1 way tickets for around 15- 20 dollars the day before you leave its stressful having to go through the constant 30 minutes of having to explain to alamo so I end up having to go somewhere else. Ive been a member of Alamo for several years you would think my membership should be helpful in this constant issues because again I love renting from Alamo. There has to be a solution for regular members

The garage at the airport was dark so it wasn t until later that day that I noticed all the stains on the passenger and back seat. I was easily able to wipe them off but it shows that there was no attempt to clean it. The outside wasn t washed either as there were stains and bird poop on it.

All of the employees I dealt with were awesome. They were very helpful and very informative of what was going on. However, it took just over 1 hour from the time I entered the initial line to when I was finally in my car (and the line became twice as long both in the check-in line as well as the line to just wait to get your car, so my assumption is that others likely waited between 1.5-2 hours to get their car)
