Everything was excellent! Their customer service is amazing! I would just like a bit more info on where to go right from the moment you make the reservation cause I was waiting for a bit until it occurred to me to call ha! However not everyone coming from out of town will have access to call a Guatemalan phone number. THANK YOU for a great experience!

When I arrive to Alamo they had one car which I was the one I reserve but the guy in charge told me that they didn’t have any more cars and he didn’t know if they were gonna get more so I never got the car 10 minute later 4 guys shows up to rent the car I had reserve I believe they rent the car for higher price because it was Semana Santa en guate and I told the guy I was gonna put a report when I get lo los Ángel from Guatemala and he told me to go ahead that it i did the reservations in la not Guatemala very bad experience

JianCarlo is a rockstar! Did a lot of research as to which companies were good/legit/formal, and Alamo was the only one that made the cut. No hidden fees or agendas and the service was beyond expectations. JianCarlo went above and beyond helping us during a crisis, I truly hope he's cherished in the organization.

We showed up in Guatemala City 1 hour and 45 minutes later than anticipated due to flight delays and Europcar gave away our vehicle to another person. We struggled to find another car. I will never be using this rental car company again and will surely rethink utilizing kayak to ever book rental cars again.

Didn’get the car. They did not have any car, even not in other size. I couldn’t believe it! They drive us outside the airport to offer an “alternative” rental… the worst rental car experience I hace had. I trusted Europcar as a responsible company, but is not.

What I didn't like was the misleading information on the availability of manual transmission vehicles which is what I requested when I made the reservation via Kayak. But when I arrived at the G. City airport to pick up my vehicle on Jan. 20 (presumably with manual transmission), I was told by National staff that they don't have any manual transmission vehicles in their fleet and only rent vehicles with automatic transmission. At that point, it was too late (and would have been prohibitively expensive) to make a last-minute switch from National to another rental agency. In summary, the information on the Kayak web site about the availability of manual transmission vehicles in Guatemala is inaccurate & misleading.

It was not right at the airport, but close and had shuttle service

I got a Insurance from the web page, but when I got to the pick up place, they told my the insurace I buy did not cover the car I rented, so had to get another insurance at the pick up place, and the price doble the cost of the car.

Friendly staff, great vehicle, no problems at all.

i called enterprise to get a quote on a car seat and the rates are different from the website and i was given wrong info, when i showed up they wanted to charge me $12 a day!!! i refused and bought one at a walmart instead. Insurance was forced on me without having the credit card disclosure where it shows i have coverage.

They didn’t have a car on my reservation fare and they said that wasn’t car available and I had to postpone my pickup to the next day. I had to argument several times until they assumed the responsibility and give a upgrade, so I could have the car at the day of my reservation. Once That was done, the experience on pickup and drop off was totally fine.

When we got to the offsite counter, they told us we needed to buy extra $200 insurance even though we had already bought insurance online as well as leave a $2000 deposit that wasn't mentioned anywhere before. Wound up getting a car elsewhere. Very poor. Also car they wanted us to talke was really banged up and missing nobs on the center console.

There was a person at the airport who was very helpful in arranging a ride to the off-airport location.

Pick up took a long time. At drop off they charged us for a scratch that was on the car before we left. Take pictures of every little ding and scratch if you don't want to be changed extra

The drop off procedure was irregular. I asked if the office was going to be opened and they said yes. When I arrived that office was closed, no one gave me my vouchers or papers that proved that the condition of the car or gas level was according to AVIS expectations. One day later I had to call and asked for my contract to be formally closed.

I did my reservation online through Kayak and received a confirmation. I checked in online and then arrived at the location, to find out they did not have the vehicle I requested or any vehicles period. I had to request a ride back to where I was staying, and hesitantly they agreed to drop me off. They did not attempt to find a solution to the problem at all. They simply (politely, but directly) stated they had no vehicles and could do nothing about it.

The car was ok. tires a little run down. the staff checked in ok.

We purchased full collision damage waiver. When actual damage occurred on the car, we drove to avis the same day. told them about the issue and returned the car actually a day early. We were told that the insurance was not going to cover the damage with some week excuse (in fact that we had to immediately inform avis of the accident). There is no good cellular in Guatemala, so we could not call and instead drove to avis immediately. The accident did not involve any other car. ( in fact the roads are narrow and there was no possibility to hang out where we damaged the car (rocks at the side of the road). The car's functionality was not impaired at all. We were told to come back the next day (where we actually took off to return to the US), after the local manager had spoken to his supervisor. We returned the next morning, ready to take the flight. At that point the manager called his supervisor and customer service representative and then told us that the CDW would not cover because we had not immediately called (which was impossible). Needless to say, we will fight line of argumentation. It is just very frustrating to have purchased this kind of "peace of mind" insurance only to find out that the contract seems to be illusory. Will definitely not rent from avis again and very upset about their gamble.

They did not have the car I reserved, nor any car at all. We were left stranded in a country we had never visited with no car. The budget agent at the airport said that even though we had a reservation, he did not have a car for us. He suggested other questionable car rental places at a much higher price. We ended having to find our own car at other place. This was the worst car rental experience of my life, will never use budget in my life again.
