Everything you need to know about booking a car rental with Alamo
Insurance policy
Alamo, like all other car rental suppliers in the US, must offer a minimum level of third-party insurance.
This means damage you cause to another person's vehicle will be financially covered.
Late fees
If you return your rental up to 29 minutes late, you won't be charged a late fee.
Rentals returned between 30 minutes and 2 hours late will incur additional hourly fees.
Rentals returned more than 2 hours late will incur additional day fees.
Additional driver fees
For insurance reasons, you will be charged an additional fee for each driver.
If an accident occurs and your rental car is being driven by someone who wasn't listed as a driver, you may lose your insurance rights.
There are exceptions to this, with certain states not requiring the spouse of the lead driver to count towards any additional driver fees.
Young driver fees
If you're under the age of 24, you will be charged at an additional rate compared to other age brackets.
Insurance is more expensive for young drivers, so Alamo, like most other car rental suppliers, will increase its pricing to match this cost.
