I rented a mid-size (Corolla) and was disappointed when I got to the front desk that that equated to a Kia (compact in my opinion). Long story short, for $10/day, they upgraded me to a suv (more room and surprisingly 7 seats!). This worked out very well as I was able to shuttle the volleyball team/parents in and around Spokane. In the end, it worked out great and I'm satisfied. What could have been better? Clearer signs for CAR RENTAL returns coming into the airport. Was "lost" and finally decided to go close to where I rented the car (and not the long term parking area) and that's where I again picked up/saw the Returns line. Very confusing if not from the area!!!

Noticed a cat pee (or weed) smell in it, but not bad enough to warrant getting a different vehicle. The gal helping us get the vehicle was very nice and helpful. Price could have been much more reasonable, in our opinion. But it served our purposes for the two days we had it. Thank you.

Rep tried to pressure me into upgrading. I said no then he fessed up that they didn’t have anything in the category I reserved except a Dodge Charger which I do not consider to be a full size car. He refused to give me a complimentary upgrade which was the only way I had to get a car that would suit my needs. I will never rent from them again, in any city.

There was no car lot attendant when dropped the car, gave key to a person at a counter. A few days later got a charge of $1500 on my credit card for car. Now I have to deal with disputing and figure out on what happen!ed! So frustrating!

Do not rent from this location and possibly not from this company. They will “find” a minute half inch hairline scratch under a bumper (pretty sure they put it there themselves) and try to scam you for thousands to repair it. Wonder how many renters have paid for the same invisible and out of sight scratch. As another car rental agency said, “that’s ridiculous. If we had our cars our for repairs for small scratches we wouldn’t have any to rent out.” Super scammers. Be careful. Go elsewhere.

Alamo representative Debbie at the Spokane airport was very friendly and helpful. She assisted me with changing my reserved vehicle type. The vehicle was wonderful, so comfortable and easy to drive.

I changed my requested vehicle type at the counter, which cost an additional $134.00. This was about $50.00 higher than if I had made the reservation that day, and even higher than other rental companies at the airport. Because I would have had a $100.00 fee to cancel my original reservation, I choose just to pay for the higher than average upgrade fee. Taught me a lesson to only reserve no fee cancellation vehicles.

The reservation, pick up and drop off all went without a hitch. Easy and hassle free. The staff was ready for me and made everything easy. Debbie was great to work with!! I showed up earlier than my reservation and they got me in a car early and extended my rental by one day without any issues. Staff was great!! Overall experience was great!! Would defintely rent from Alamo again.

I drove a 2017 Dodge Charger with 2000 miles. Overall the car was great, but the USB ports would work off and on. This was frustrating and was hard when I needed to charge my phone. Also the main screen froze once and I had to pull over and turn the car off and back on. When it froze I was unable to control the volume, A/C etc. This must be a glitch that Dodge needs to address.

In the Spokane airport, there was only one agent working the desk. This caused a backup of 10 -12 customers waiting in line to be processed.

Once I received the car things were okay. The problem was the lady at the Spokane Airport's counter. There was a dramatic price change (in my favor) on my rental due to changes in the rental. When I asked her to help me with getting the reimbursement she told me that she would not make the phone call to to help me get this taken care of.

Booked online with kayak. Never mentioned additional charges for anything over 200 miles but the receipt had we ended up renting would have cost another .30/mile for anything we drove over 200 miles per day. Went to the Hertz counter at the airport to pick up the car and they said they had no cars available to rent. Terrible customer service assistance and terrible management of information. Sales counter was anything but helpful upon arrival and wasn’t interested in looking for other options to assist.

We made a reservation with Enterprise car rental for a van. Then called 2 weeks before the pickup date and confirmed the reservation. When we arrived on the pick up date, we were told that there were no available vehicles. There was no warning, no help. The manager even lied to us trying to cover up for not calling us. I obviously would have been dissappointed finding out that they had no vehicles, but I find it inexcusable and in very poor taste for a business to not let their customers know that there is a problem. They didn't leave us any time to find an alternative to drive to our son's wedding.

Liked the pickup and drop-off attendants. The van I received was not what I reserved. It didn't have the luggage room stated and I had to take an additional vehicle on our trip to make up for it. The windshield wipers were also completely worn out and unusable. The cup holder in the rear was also broken out.

Nice, new car. Quick service downtown.

The Spokane airport location wouldn’t rent me a car and I had to Uber downtown to pick up. They gave me a car with Canadian plates and a metric speedometer, so it was difficult to judge speed. Rental was very expensive and they nickel and dime you for insurance coverage. Even the basic, minimal plan is a gouge.

Very convenient location and very attentive staff. The car I was supposed to rent was not available so they upgraded me free of charge to a 2023 Prius which worked out even better! I had a maintainence light issue during my road trip, pulled into an Avis location near my hotel and they solved the problem immediately.

Everything seemed fine, except there were no cars available to rent when we showed up at the location. This is understandable because there were a bunch of cancelled flights. However, Avis then charged a cancellation fee which is unacceptable.

I thought I was picking up the automobile at Spokane airport but apparently 3rd party rental companies like Kayak give you the nearest rental agency if no cars available at the airport (requested pick up place). But 3rd party rental companies like Kayak do not tell you that on the website BEFORE making the reservation. So I spent $55 to take a taxi to the Avis in downtown Spokane and another $25 to change my reservation to drop off the car at the airport. So savings to rent thru Kayak is demolished/reduced. My bad for not reading the reservation form more thoroughly. If I ask for Airport rental car to be picked up I expect that is what I will get. But nooooo. I will rent directly from rental car agency from now on. Service in downtown Avis Spokane was poor. Car from Avis was very clean and comfortable.
