Alamo Rent-A-Car : Car Rental Company Profile

Alamo Rent A Car

Alamo Rent A Car is a car rental agency. It is based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, but has branches across the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, South America, parts of Africa, Europe, and Australia as well as some locations on various Caribbean islands.

The chain was started in 1974 with several locations in the state of Florida. It was liked by many because of its unlimited mileage program, meaning that people could travel any distance with the car they rented for no extra charge. In the United States, Alamo rents mostly General Motors automobiles.

Alamo was owned by Vanguard Automotive Group, which also owns National Car Rental.

As of August 1, 2007 it was bought by Enterprise Car Rental. Enterprise is now the owner of Vanguard Car rental which owns Alamo and National Car Rental.

The UK operations of Vanguard Car Rentals were sold to Europcar in the same year.

Alamo Rent A Car has been criticized for not providing adequate access to/from terminal buildings to rental car lot for wheelchair-bound customers. According to the United States Department of Justice, Alamo was the subject of many such complaints. These complaints eventually culminated in an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice. Alamo reached an out of court settlement in the matter
