Don’t pay up front unless you absolutely have to. We had a reservation and they canceled it the day before pickup.

Always consider take the full coverage insurance. Driving in Cali is challenging, and the possibility that the side mirrors get robbed is high. Don't let the car overnight park on the street, consider a closed paid parking.

I recommend renting a small car, definitely nothing flashy. Try your best to Park inside parking garages, carry small amounts of change on you. Make sure you turn on the emergency parking break every time you park.

Well I was supposed to pick up the car at 7 am but the car wasn’t ready, when I called the agent he said he was going to be there shortly “2 minutes he said” well he was 40 minutes late because he had a problem but then he show up there with an attitude stating that well everybody has problems, I had a trip program and I was not able to leave when I had plan so that was not good. On top of that a full cover insurance is extremely expensive.

I was forced to upgrade and pay more just to get a vehicle that was allowed driving during my stay without restrictions due to the congestion restrictions. Either it was set up that way or Alamo has very limited selection of vehicles.

The location I was sent to no longer exists. We were able to find their new location, However they were out of vehicles. Even Though the system allowed me to book and they could see it. Thank - God, i am fluent in Spanish, this would have been an absolute nightmare for a non-speaker. Being that this happens in a 3rd would country, this is very dangerous. Addresses and phone numbers need to be properly checked as well as inventory.
