    Manager who told me "f@ck your mother".
    Dylan G.

    The manager on duty canceled my reservation and told me "f@ck your mother" because I told him I did not trust the fact that I was going to be double charged on my account because I had already paid for the rental on Expedia. I also told him because it was late I'd double pay so I could get the car. His response was again to tell me "go f@ck your mother". I have never been spoken to like this by anyone before and I really hope you correct it. It was midnight and I had no way to get to my aging father. He cost me valuable time with my family. I will email the video directly and I plan on posting it on socials as well. I hope you let him go. I am sure this is not the first time. No one deserves to encounter this man in their travels.

    Located in the rental car terminal. You have to take the blue bus to get there. It was empty when we were here. All options of companies here but we really like Alamo. The gentleman at the counter was very friendly and took care of us quickly. We headed out to the car up the escalator and out the door. A nice attendant met us on our way and helped us pick a good car. Great experience.

    Jenni did our paperwork with a smile & Carlos picked out a great car for us!!

    If check in is as smooth as checkout, and I hope it will be, then this is my favorite Alamo rental facility in the USA! The rental counter was easy to find in the Boston Airport. Even though there were only 3 agents at the Alamo counter, they worked quickly and efficiently. When it was our turn, Jenni was friendly and helpful. She collected all the information that she needed from us, including payment, with a smile and professional demeanor. My hair has wild orchid streaks, which she told me she liked. I returned the compliment, as Husband & I had been admiring the myriad of colors in her hair. We were shocked to hear that she is returning her colorful hair to a standard brown because of negative preconceptions by clients. How sad. She was terrific - hair and all! We went upstairs to get our economy rental. When I saw it, I was shocked to see how small it was. It didn't seem safe to me, but as Husband pointed out, that's what we reserved. Carlos overheard us, and said he did not feel comfortable putting us in a car that made me concerned about safety. He graciously upgraded us to a Nissan Versa - freshly washed and with under 4000 miles. We were shocked and pleased. This car has been a joy to drive, getting excellent mileage. Both Carlos and Jenni are excellent examples of outstanding customer service. Alamo should treasure these employees, and any others proving exemplary service.

    Thanks to Mark and Trandoe for the service with a smile at 3 AM!

    Make a reservation for Alamo on the app. Took the shuttle to the rental car building. Unfortunately, when we got to the lot, no SUVs were available. So lucky to be able to get a hybrid Chrysler Pacifica minivan instead. Very comfortable, lots of space to spread out, plenty of leg room and really cut down on the gas we needed for our trip from Boston to Maine and Newport, RI. Got about 36 MPG with a lot of highway mileage. Get the toll tag. Surprised at how much the tolls in Boston stack up, though. Definitely check the bill when you check in. Print a copy of the rental contract to verify the original price quoted. Thanks to Mark and Trandoe for the service with a smile at 3 AM. Drive Happy!

    Pretty gross - but this isn't a reflection of the service I received.

    So, here's my story, I used a CC to rent and insure a Dollar rental car. (Prices approximate)…read morethrough Expedia, I might add. Cost $490.23 for the car and $140 for insuring said car...after the fact....meaning I used the same card for the insurance, but not the same day. We got to the front desk, told them I'd paid already, and they told me they needed to hold $200 plus I added $71 fuel cost which is $271. I proceeded to give my wife's credit card for the hold and the fuel. When the receipt was presented to me, there was a charge of $985, needless to say after seeing the receipt, I had to change my drawers. Now, long story, short, we worried through our whole trip about that charge, because it was a new credit card and we had no idea that that was going to be the charge on the card. And I was imagining all sorts of difficulty in trying to get that money reversed. Returning the car was a piece of cake. All that was needed was to leave the keys on the dash and walk away, which is pretty cool in my book. But still, I wondered or I should say, my wife and I wondered what the disposition would be of the final bill, and we had to wait a bit to see what would happen. (Suggestion: this is a pay at the Desk rental car company, that is why there was the large charge on the second credit card, however, I'm glad I reserved it early, they seem to have had a plethora of cars there.) Will we didn't receive a final bill but a few days later my wife and I were elated when that $985 had been returned on her new credit card, so we did indeed only pay the $630 or $40 needed which I'd already paid. So, other than worrying about that major expense on one card we were relieved to see the money returned, back on the Second credit card!!! So I'd like to say kudos to Expedia and to Dollar Rent-A-Car for a somewhat nervous but happy Experience, even though it was slightly stressful. If we had had foreknowledge of that big expense being returned, we likely would've not stressed so much, that said I would recommend dollar, they treated us fairly, and pretty good!!!

    I booked a rental car with Dollar and had it for about a week and a half. When I went to pick it…read moreup, there was no line to speak of. The guy behind the counter was pleasant enough. However, when I was about to pay, I noticed that he wanted me to pay more than what I was expecting. I asked him about it and he was rather evasive. I didnt want to spend a lot of time on this, so I said forget it, I signed, and went on my way. When I got to the parking garage, the guy told me to go get a car that wasn't there. I came back told him, and he eventually got me a different vehicle. The whole thing took maybe 45 minutes, which considering I didnt have to wait for anyone in front of me in line, was longer than it should have been. I didnt have any problems with the vehicle. Returning it was fine, and the guy was nice enough to drive us to the terminal, where we unloaded all our stuff instead of having to cart it from rental car return to the terminal. The next day, I got the receipt for the completed rental. It included the charge the guy at the counter was evasive about. Turns out it was for insurance that I specifically declined. Fortunately, a quick call to Dollar and they offered to refund it. But wait, there's more! I had an extra charge for driving on a toll road. It sucks, but theres no way around it. When you get a car from them, they give you a choice - pay around $17/day and all tolls are covered, or pay the amount of each toll plus about $15 for each day you use a toll road. I only planned to drive on a toll road for like 1 day so I chose the latter option. Fine. Unfortunately the last day, I got a parking ticket. Before the ticket was even due, Dollar charged me a $30 fee for processing the ticket. It wasnt in their purview to get involved at that point since the ticket wasnt even due yet. Of course, Dollar wanted payment before the ticket was even due. Fortunately, if you read the fine print on the letter dollar gave me, it says that if you pay the ticket before its due, you can get a refund from Dollar, so that's what I did. This wasnt as easy as the other refund, as I had to give them proof that I paid the ticket. Overall, Im not happy with Dollar. Their extra fees are not OK and they have no right to be charging me some of them. Their incompetance when I picked up the car turned out to be a problem later, 3 weeks after I returned the vehicle. The only good thing I can say about them is that I booked a full size sedan and they game me a hybrid SUV that got great gas mileage for no extra cost. I doubt Id rent from them again.

It took us roughly two hours to get to the counter which is always fun, but then when we got to the counter it was still somehow an awful experience. I've rented hundreds of cars in the last decade or so and the only company that truly drives me crazy is Budget/Avis. Answering basic questions and trying to pay still somehow managed to take upwards of 25 minutes and that was with us offering everything quickly. Overall? I sure hope I remember to choose any other car rental company the next time I fly into Boston. All the other lines were moving so much faster, nobody was loudly complaining about being stuck for two hours, and maybe some of the other companies can help people start a trip off on the right foot. Now as for the car itself, I'm satisfied with what we were given and it runs great, if only the rest of the experience was even half as good as that.

If their system recorded us as late, it may very well have been because we were sitting in the return line waiting to physically get the car back to them. When we finally reached the Budget employee, he scanned the vehicle, took the keys, and said absolutely nothing about a late return or an additional charge. Now we are also receiving toll charges weeks later despite specifically setting Google Maps to "avoid tolls" for our entire rental. When I called Budget and asked what customers are supposed to do to avoid tolls, I was literally told to set Google Maps to "avoid tolls" exactly what we did. Yet I was also told that additional toll charges could continue appearing for another two weeks. The associate I spoke with on the phone provided little to no useful information. Instead, I was essentially told that I just need to sit and wait to see what else gets charged. How is that an acceptable answer? Customers should not have to monitor their credit cards for weeks after returning a rental vehicle to find out what Budget may decide to charge next. What makes this even more concerning is looking through the reviews for this location. There are dozens of one-star reviews on Google and Yelp from customers alleging unexpected charges, toll bills, fees, and other amounts appearing after their rentals. I wish I had read those reviews before booking. We returned the vehicle, handed the keys directly to an employee, and left believing our rental was complete. Instead, weeks later, we are still dealing with charges and being told more could potentially appear. At this point, I want an itemized explanation and documentation supporting every charge associated with our rental, including the recorded return/check-in time and the date, time, location, and amount of every alleged toll. Telling a customer to simply wait and see what else gets charged is completely unacceptable. Our trip ended weeks ago. Apparently our Budget rental still hasn't.
