Understood my needs and met them! A bit of a long wait for the car (1 hour) but worth it. I had family rent from another agency and defiantly should have gone with Alamo.

What we liked is that when we had a flat tire, Alamo replaced our car quickly. What could have been better is that a representative works have been at the counter when we arrived. Over-all a great experience!

the type of vehicle waiting for me based on the number of suitcases was not acceptable. Just because my flight was delayed. They dont have nice size vehicles as advertised on their site . I would not use this site again or ALAMO . Customer service sent us outside of the airport and we got a compact car when I paid for a full size SUV, I was delivered a day later a nissan X trail and no one could fit on the third seat ... My vacation was not enjoyable due to the type of vehicle I was stucked with . I expected a full size SUV and I got a mini SUV we could not visit all the places we wanted to .

The staff was very friendly and we ended up with a great car. However, pickup and dropoff each took 1.5 hours with only one other person in line ahead of us. The process needs to be streamlined better; there's no reason it should take that long to print out and sign documents.

Arrived at counter to pickup my car, only they ran out of the car I reserved. They offered me a large suv that was 2.5 times more expensive or a subcompact that wouldn’t hold our passengers/luggage. Ended up leaving without a car after 75 minutes at the counter. Cabs ended up costing me much more than what I reserved.

My rental was for 43 dollars, and when I arrived at the pickup location, they told me that the total with taxes and service charges was 93 dollars per day, plus I had to pay a USD$ 200 dollars deposit. I will not recommend it.

When we arrived with our reservation, we were told that they did not have any cars. We were finally told that they did have two other cars but that it would cost us another 900$. We finally had to go to a different agency and pay an additional $300. Extremely poor service and the first time this has ever happened to us.

I landed at Santo Domingo at 9 pm local with a proper Hertz reservation to be told at the Hertz stand they had no car available for me, no alternative to offer and I could get lost. Needless to say my holidays were ruined. I will see what my next step against Hertz will be. Totally unprofessional and even criminal to leave a family like that at 10 pm at this airport with no service at all. NEVER EVER AGAIN WITH HERTZ

We picked up our car at Punta Cana. We had been quoted a price of $233.39 and instead ended up paying $341.24. On arrival we were told that we couldn’t use our worldwide fully comprehensive car insurance (which we have used in the Caribbean, the USA and Europe with no problems). We then had to pay for Hertz insurance and, even though taxes were included in our original price, we were charged additional taxes. On top of that, we were given a battered car which was dirty. We hadn’t used Hertz for a while and decided to give them a try - it wasn’t a good experience at all.

They charged me about $73 for sand inside of the car! After over 2 weeks of renting the car you would have to expect some sand inside the car!

We had to cancel our trip to Santo Domingo due to unavailability of the van we reserved. National wrote the same day we would take the car saying they did not has the Van we booked. They offered us to provide 2 cars at the end of the day (for the same price) which impacted us as we would had to pay double the gasoline by using two cars. We were not able to do our planned activities because of the unavailable of the van. It is so sad that we reserved with almost 2 weeks I'm advance and the car agency did not reserved the van for us.

There is not adequate communication about insurance requirements when booking the car. I had car insurance through my trip insurance and was allowed to book with that. When I got to the pickup, I was told I had to obtain expensive insurance from the rental company. When sprung upon me at pickup it feels like extortion. I will never book through this company again.

Would have been better if, having booked and paid for a car months before the hire period to have had one to collect! No car! Explanation, “we’re busy”!!! Had to take a taxi to second place where…eventually…a car was found. Lost a day and ended up with a four hour STRESSED family drive in the dark. No offer of compensation, in fact made to feel like I was being done a favour. Dreadful service, total reluctance to fix their own problem.

Pickup and dropoff are dealt in the most inefficient time consuming way. Car was not ready at pickup time. counter agent did what she could to help but it took over an hour an a half to get vehicle. With insurance and deposit, cost of rental was excessive (time and ahalf the prie of the rental rate) Returning vehicle took 20 minutes. Rental terminal has a laughably small parking lot that is supposed to be both for pickup and dropoff for 6 or 7 different companies so even getting in and out is a mess

When picking up the car, we were a few hours late for pick up. They said they already rented out the car and we would have to take an upgrade, the upgrade would cost almost three times what the original rental cost was. I declined and went into emergency planning mode of where we could stay for the night with out a rental car and then find one in the morning. Once they realized that we were not going to pay for an upgrade, suddenly a downgrade was available. Which though it was not what I wanted, was a suitable option. We agreed to it, she said it would be 1/2 hour to get it cleaned/car wash, we waited. Then when we went out to the car, turns out it was not a downgrade it was the exact car we had booked to begin with, also, it was dry to the bone, so I have a feeling they did not wash it and the option we booked had been available all the time. Over all, it should not be that hard to pick up the car you initially booked with out additional fees. Then when going out to the car I took a video as I always do for proof of condition, and there were a considerable number of dents and scratches, including a crack in the windshield and the knob to the stereo missing. I explicitly asked her to mark those as issues on the carbon copy inspection paper and recorded them, and I am happy I did as they tried to change me for both of those upon returning the car. Over all this experience further solidified my belief that car rental agencies are sharks that are trying to scam every dollar out of you that they can. It is sad to have to play games like this when on vacation just to pick up a car you have already paid for.

The customer service is poor. Rented a car and paid for it in advanced. At pick ip the car was already rented to someone else. Had to get a smaller car and then wanted to charge me for the same amount of a bigger car. Staff cant resolve anything. Does not give you a resolution. Very uncomfortable vacation with so much luggage and so many people. Non reliable

The company charged 2x the amount after what we have already paid while we were making the reservation. Would never use this service again

The SUV I rented only had 1/8 tank of gas to start with. The white cloth seats were filthy. It looked like some mechanics had sat in there in their dirty work clothes. The rental and return process is rather lengthy, in spite of having a reservation and returning on time.

I was charged for additional insurance when making the reservation and when i picked up my car was told the insurance I had was not acceptable and needed to take out budgets insurance which ended up costing me double what i was expecting to pay. car rental pick up in Santo Domingo is a very long and drawn out procedure it took me over 30 minutes to complete all the paper work and get the required documents and pay so i could go and get the car. the entire pick up process from time I got to the counter until I drove off the lot was over an hour which is just not acceptable. When finally departing with the car I was not informed that on return I must not follow signs to car rental drop off but go towards the terminal where the new budget office is. So on my return I went to the car rental area and once inside I realized I was in the wrong spot and then could not exit as needed a ticket to exit called budget who said they would come get me in about 5 minutes but this did not happen after waiting for about 20 minutes was fortunate that an employee from another rental company gave me an exit ticket so I get out and told me where to go. When I finally got to the budget drop off office and asked why I was not informed not to follow car rental signs was told but you picked the car up from here you should have know. Though by using a well know company would avoid all these issues but realize that was not the case. if renting cars at Las Americas airport Santo Domingo factor in at least 1 hour or more to get your car
