Yes

It wasn't really obvious from my paperwork that we had to call for the shuttle to come pick us up at the airport. The number could be more "front and centre" on the reservation paper. Luckily, someone else on our flight was renting with them and had already called the number.

I had a BMW reserved for our family vacation and when we got there they had given the car away to someone else and we had to settle for a Toyota RAV4 which we found very uncomfortable. Their excuse was that they tried to call to see if we were coming and I didn't answer, I WAS ON A FLIGHT and couldn't answer.

They did not deliver the vehicle I booked. I carefully reviewed all the different vehicle types presented to me as "available" at the time of booking, several days before my trip. Because bad weather was forecast, I selected a compact SUV. When I arrived, I was told my selected vehicle was in fact no longer available, and instead, a low-clearance compact Toyota Corolla would be substituted. The explanation was "it's been a crazy day" and that other customers had shown up and rented almost every vehicle they had. What does a vehicle "reservation" mean to Alamo if they're going to rent my booked vehicle out from under me to someone that turns up at the counter?

I had to extend the rental 2 times Rather than just being able to phone in and update the account I had to drive to the airport each time and basically create a new rental each time Secondly they could t extend the damage deposit so basically had two holds on my card at the same time as the initial damage deposit was held for up to 5 business days

Rear tire vibrates the whole time. Flat spot or out of balance. Terrible vibration at 80-90kph. Felt like I was delivering their car back to BC. Should have got a discount for that. Otherwise a good car.

I usually rent with enterprise but they didn't have the type of vehicle I needed so I went with Avis. In the past Avis over charged me (see Vegas review) but this time there were absolutely no billing issues and their checkout process was the fastest I'd ever had at YEG. It wasn't the cheapest rental but Edmonton has unusually high rental prices in general.

After everything was booked and I arrived at YEG Airport they wanted an additional $500 to drop off the car in YYC after i had explicitly chosen it during the booking process. Was able to get a much better deal at National for $500 less and same vehicle class.

Excellent service right from the start. Tracy & her staff are amazing. I would recommend them to everyone that is going to Edmonton. It’s only a 5 min drive to the airport but worth it. After dealing with them I will only book with them whenever I need to go to Edmonton. Thank you Tracy fir the great service. It was a pleasure dealing with you. Danny & Laura

The car was great, but they claimed I had a full tank when it was only half full. I called to report that it only had a half tank, and had pictures to prove it, but they still charged me a refueling fee when I teturned the card with more fuel than I got it with.

It was a nice clean car but it didn't have a block heater or winter tires in Edmonton, Alberta, in December. The office was closed when we went to return the car but they didn't warm us they would have limited hours the date of our return. Luckily, the self serve return went relatively smoothly.

Attendant at pick up was not very welcoming. Was surprised that we had to pay an extra fee for my spouse to drive the car. Since we share family insurance, this does not seem to make sense. For this reason we will not rent from this agency again.
