Alamo —
My wife, 2 yr old son, parents and brother just returned from a week vacation in Florida. We rented a Chrysler van from Alamo in Memphis, Tennessee and had zero problems. Our family tends to be the one who has problems no matter where or what we do so we expected problems. I went so far as to go by the rental location a day before to ask if a van would be available the day we reserved it.
My dad and I showed up, completed the reservation, and was directed to a line of vans and told to pick which ever we wanted. We got a Chrysler that had less than 2,500 miles. We cranked it up, drove off and began our vacation. We had zero problems at all.
I checked other rental agencies and Alamo had the best prices by far. Also, some companies like Enterprise say unlimited mileage, but their definition means you have to stay in certain states and you have a maximum of either 2 or 3,000 miles total. I don't remember which.
Needless to say, we will definitely rent from Alamo again.
