I didn't like not being able to chose the warranty plan at the reservation time on the web site. It was very confusing when at the desk the clerk explained it to me. Plus I had no choice if the car would be stolen I had to pay the full car price. THIS IS totally not acceptable. Alamo must have insurance about that. I did feel push to accept an insurance even my credit card has a protection cover on rental carReviewed 30 Sept 2024

Do NOT rent from Alamo at BCN airport. We arrived at 11pm and the small office near the car park, which was supposed to be open until midnight, was CLOSED. We were told to go into the desk in the Terminal, but that was also closed. We were told "yea, that happens." Great. If you are looking for a rental in Barcelona, the only one I can recommend is Sixt near Barceloneta (near Placa Pau Vila). I used them three times on our last trip and they were great. I would avoid all of the BCN airport rental counters if possible. Might also try Turo. Good luck.Reviewed 10 Jul 2024
