Hi All
We're planning a west coast road trip and have booked a car with Alamo via gotrentalcars, reviews seem decent enough.
I've heard quite a few horror stories of hire car companies and them claiming it was damaged upon return etc, I plan to take photos of the whole car to minimise risk and have purchased the excess waiver insurance from them too when booking, excess waiver was only £20 more then standalone policies from other providers so just went with it while booking so theres no messing with reclaiming in the event of a claim.
Have members here used Alamo without issues? Also I read the terms and conditions of the excess waiver insurance and it mentions damage to wheels etc but does not really mention bodywork damage, e.g. scrapes or scratches, are these generally covered when you purchase the insurance?
First time i've ever hired a car so just wanted to get some info and be prepared when I contact the hire company RE the insurance query above, its free cancellation so I can cancel if things are not quite right
