Encourage too many explanations and choices. The car I reserved always changes.
Roger Reviewed on Apr 28, 2019, 7:25 PM
It was a very long wait to get the car as there were not enough agents, which seems typical for all car rental companies, not just Alamo. The vehicle was great and turn in was efficient. Staff was friendly at the counter and at return

6 days visiting colleges in Bay Area and San Luis Obispo. Lots of driving, 3-5 hours per day. Intention to buy a used mountain bike in San Luis Obispo. Ordered a Mercedes c300 For its fold down rear passenger seats. Arrived and no c300, we received a Jaguar xe sedan. Actually a nice car but no fold down seats. Was impossible to speak with desk before arriving so I had to just deal with it. Was offered bigger vehicles for more. Anyway, other than vehicle not available the check in and drop off were simple as could be. I thought it was s fabulous value to drive that nice car for $40/day. Jaguar did great on hwy 17 and the tiny roads in the Santa Cruz mountains. I’ll definately rent from Sixt again.

- Inspect the trunk to determine if the spare is properly inflated and the jack and lung wrench are there
- Get familiar with the controls of your car. Adjust the mirrors and seats to your liking, and figure out how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
