The Alamo agent stated he had no automatic cars available & we were fine with taking a manual vehicle. The agent kept saying no no…my friend will give you a bigger car for less money & insurance coverage. We were then brought to His friend at MEX rental car. When the Amex agent walked us towards the shuttle to pick up our rental car, he pulled us to the side & extorted a “tip” out of us for giving us a better deal. The car we got was filthy inside & out & not a typical Alamo standard type vehicle. The seats were covered in dirt like someone was sweating all over the seats & all the dirt they had on them had sweat right onto the interior. And, to top it all off, the wiper fluid was empty & the wipers were useless…they really needed to be changed out, even if the vehicle had washer fluid in it. Needless to say, even though we ultimately were not allowed to rent from Alamo, our experience was not one I’d like to repeat.
