After a very long trip from Gatwick to Florida you don't really need someone in your face pushing you to upgrade your chosen rental (as it happens when it was obvious we weren't going to upgrade he told us to take ANY of the 7 seater cars).

We rented a Camry hybrid in Oakland and loved it! It had electronic ignition and had no key, so after we became accustomed to it we found it very economical and enjoyable. It had great power and acceleration and we got about 34 mpg! The staff was patient and helpful and I think our experience with ...

When we arrived at Los Angeles the trouble started. ...

I hired a car in the evening of 15 May 2007 in Bath. I had a printed form and reservation number from the Internet and turned up at 8am the next day. The staff informed me that there were no cars available as I had booked too late.

It turns out that Alamo's booking system had allowed me to book a ...
