Price was good. Pickup and dropoff pleasant and easy. Car was defective---loud noise from either the engine or the tires. We were afraid to drive at highway speeds.

No one was at location at pick up. Found out next day there was an incident and everyone left, no notification, sign, etc. left at location stating to return the next day. Had to spend more money for Uber back and forth next day to pick up car. No one at Alamo customer service was aware of any reason there was no one at location. By the time i spend making phone calls to find out why they were closed, what could be done, trying to rent another vehicle from the 2 other rental locations that remained open, wrong size Uber showing up it was past 1am in the evening. Myself my daughter and 2 small children were left alone in dark. Awful experience!!! Poor communication, no one at customer service called back as they stated they would to let us know the next day if the location reopened so we could pick up our rental. Poor customer service!!!

very good, girl at the desk was very nice and helpful. smooth transaction
Oh my gosh I loved the car we rented! The only thing I would change is there were 2 slots with the same number and we didn’t know. So we got to the first one. We had a team member come over and inspect a few spots on the car so we wouldn’t be charged for them. After getting my 93 year old grandmother and all our luggage loaded, we couldn’t figure out why the car refused to start. We checked with another team member to be told we were in the wrong one and ours was across the road in the second spot. The team member said not to worry and he went and switched everything to the van we were in and got us the right keys for that vehicle. He saved the day! The car was perfect and we will definitely use you again for our trip next year!

The location was fairly busy, but staff was working hard to get everyone what they needed quickly. We will be back if we need to rent another car in Myrtle Beach.

The car was in great shape, the people working there were very helpful and the price of the rental was reasonable. My only suggestion is to offer a shuttle to take you from the airport to the car rental lot (which is about a 10 minute cab ride). Thank you!

Everyone was so courteous friendly and accommodating. I would recommend this dealership to anybody that is traveling to Myrtle Beach.
Car was clean and comfortable. I got a small SUV rather than a full-size car, so I thought that may have cost me a bit more in gas expense, but the vehicle seemd pretty efficient. Drop-off was extremely simple. I was somewhat distressed about an alleged $450 cleaning fee associated with sand in the vehicle, given that I picked up from an airport with "beach" in the name. I thought that was ludicrous. I ended up using car wash vacuums to be sure I wouldn't be charged. Otherwise everything was good.

Had to go to different location for pick up as they ran out of cars and had to pay extra for a cab to other locations. Get there only to be told due to having an out of state license and using my debit card, I could not rent without a full credit check. Wasn't eligible to rent a car. Thankfully not all rental places there use this policy. I went to another company and it was a great experience

Never rent from AVIS at Myrtle Beach Airport. It took nearly 90 minutes to wait to get to an attendant while all other car rentals were less than 5 minutes. Will never rent from them again.
After arriving at the Route 501 location in MB, I was informed they did not have the car we reserved and was told to proceed to MBI Airport to exchange the vehicle. I arrived and had to wait about an hour to exchange the vehicle after management spoke to the Route 501 location. I was then assigned a bigger vehicle, which I loved, but the battery was dead. Back to the office to get another vehicle of the same make amd model, but was delayed another 45 minutes. That car had extremely dirty windows, but was otherwise clean. Was a bit disappointed about the overall experience, but understood it wasn't the office personel's fault at the airport.

The car was extremely small! And we dropped at airport on 9/23 and my card is still being charged the daily fee as if we still have it! Definitely a breakdown of communication, very disappointed in this experience!

Vehicle was not at a full tank when I picked it up. Desk person needs to explain to customer why incidentals are being added on card not jus scan card.
The picture that showed a suv was the one I picked but when I got there I was given a Toyota Camry and I said to the agent I thought I was renting a suv and she said you asked for a midsize car. It was very uncomfortable getting in and out of that car with my bad knees.
