I've been an Alamo Insider member for many years, a membership that usually provides me the ultimate convenience upon landing--walking straight to my assigned car and heading out on my trip with zero friction, and I reserve my vehicle ahead of time using the Alamo app. While Alamo typically nails this "easy" experience, my recent stop at the Raleigh-Durham airport didn't quite deliver the "easy" experience I've come to expect. Upon landing, the Alamo app indicated I'd still need to visit the counter for a car assignment. RDU still requires travelers to board a shuttle bus for transportation to the rental car lot, but thankfully, the buses run frequently so we didn't wait long. When we arrived at the lot, I was mildly discouraged to see a line snaking out of the office with only one customer service rep on duty. However, kudos to the on-duty manager for quickly recognizing the queue and offering to process several reservations at the adjacent National desk. The customer service rep who helped me was great at getting our trip back on track -- I had my license, credit card, and reservation number ready-to-go and they didn't try to push any "add-ons" like the collision damage waiver or satellite radio, which I appreciated (but am sure that Alamo's corporate overlords at Enterprise Holdings will be disappointed to read). I was, however, somewhat frustrated they didn't have the full-size hybrid sedan I originally requested, especially since I had a lot of driving to do. (At this point, I'm reminded of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry exclaims in exasperation: "You know how to take the reservation, you just don't know how to hold the reservation. And that's really the most important part of the reservation: the holding!") I was initially assigned a Kia K5 from a lower vehicle class, which showed significant wear and tear and several dings upon inspection. When I returned to the office to request a different vehicle, the rep handled it professionally and quickly found a 2026 Toyota Camry hybrid with less than 3,000 miles on the odometer. The rest of the rental went smoothly -- the nearly new Camry performed perfectly and the drop-off process was a breeze. While it wasn't the "straight to the lot and go" experience I usually enjoy, the staff's hustle, politeness, and willingness to fix the vehicle issue was definitely worthy of a 4-star review.

A must read...... I could write a 16 page positive review…read moreabout the salesman we had the pleasure of working with, but I'll keep it short. Purchasing a new car isnt fun, but working with Thurmond was a smooth, and zero stress environment. My young adult daughter had her sights on one specific car after mnths of searching and she was ready to purchase that one, and ONLY that one and the car had not even got the lot yet. I wasn't giving her money for it. She had to afford it all by herself. I told her Id do the haggling for her and I was not looking forward to that feeling if worked a double in a rock quarry dealing with a car salesman. End result, we drove off the lot with THE car she wanted, papers signed and we felt great! She had just signed away thousands of dollars, years of payments in her name to this dealership and we felt we'd made a great decision to purchase from here. Capital Mazda may not know how big of a gold mine they have in this employee. I hope they invest in Thurmond because dealerships have bad reputations due to salesmen that are a dime a dozen. Thurmond had to put up with hours of my multiple questions for a solid 5 days and by the time we left the dealership we felt OUR time and money was well spent here and ready to buy my own car from them. I never had trouble reaching Thurmond. He was reliable, good energy, he was focused on us, I never felt pressured or rushed and he did a good job leading us to closure. I can see it when I look back now. The deal was fair, and really important--Thurmond actually likes his job so I have to compliment his management team. Great salespeople are a reflection of the culture and leadership they have and it was evident management respects and works in tandem with their people. Johnathon especially. There was a manager who seemed a bit scary/gruff at first, but was actually kind & professional so in the end the dealership was well rounded IMO. Ask for Thurmond. He is a breath of fresh air in today's environment. We are purchasing our next car thru Capital Mazda......unless Thurmond switches job sites.

I traveled down from Boston, Ma with my entire family to North Carolina for the 1st time and this will probably be the last. We rented a full size vehicle and she didn't have it available upon pick up and wanted us to take a pick up truck. I'm traveling with a 1 year old, my wife and her elderly mother. We have luggage, baby seat, carriage and we explained to Orzechowski our situation and that our personal belongings would get wet if it rained as stated in the forecast and she said deal with it. Enterprise should be embarrassed having employees with this horrible level of customer service and disrespectfulness. We even had a rental we were returning at the airport Claudia failed to tell us we could return it with her and another employee told my wife we could once I was practically at the airport. She failed to tell us we could have kept the rental we were in and honor the full-size price as it was not our fault they didn't have it available upon pick up and she did not. But besides that tried to charge us almost double if we kept it, but wanted us to take a pick up truck for the same price (make it make sense). So Claudia Orzechowski can put us in a pick up truck from a full size but not a crossover we already have insane. The branch at the airport took care of us and showed me what real customer service is like and compassion.

The overall experience is why I won't be going back. This is also the Advantage Car Rental office, so my review applies to them as well. First: The shuttle bus took a half hour or more to come and pick me and another customer up. There were at least 2 or 3 each of the competitors shuttles coming by in that same time frame. The shuttle driver did not help the customer's with their bags. Never saw that before. He was more interested in talking to a pretty young coed he was dropping off than helping the other customers. Then: There was one clerk in the office. I came in with 4 other customers, and easily waited 30 minutes to get my car. He was thorough and polite, but alone and overwhelmed. Shame on you management. Thirdly: I checked the car out before I drove it off the lot, but it was a black car in a poorly lit lot, and was not sure the real condition of the car until the next morning. Luckily there was no external or internal damage to the car. The car proved to be OK, although there was a lot of tire noise at medium speeds. Sounded like a bad tire to me. Lastly: I was returning the car very early on my last day in Durham, 545am. I pulled onto the lot, the office was lit up and unlocked, but nobody was home. I walked around the building, knocked on the office door, called out, etc.. No answer. Finally a different shuttle driver than my first experience showed up, checked out my car, loaded my bag, apologized for no clerks, and drove me to the terminal. He later even emailed my receipt, as there wasn't anyone to give me one at the lot. The whole experience - a major fail by this provider, in my opinion. It was not worth the few dollars saved. Avoid if possible.

Placed a $200 hold on credit card on top of our reservation cost of ~$230. Total ~$430. 2. Pressure you to get insurance by scare tactics. Additional cost of $29-$49 a day. Adds up to $475 if we caved into their scare tactics. I witness another person added an additional of $245 to their original reservation. 3. Once you decline their insurance, they continue to tell you in your face that you're making the wrong decision, and you'll _REGRET_ your choice and you'll be VERY SORRY for declining the insurance. And it'll haunt you every day for your stay... 4. They make you feel like they'll find a way to charge you for every little problem. So we made sure to inspect the car and made them aware of every little dings and scratches that are already on the car. AVOID THIS PLACE IF YOU WANT YOUR RENT-A-CAR WORRY-FREE.
