Alamo Car Rental at Salt Lake City Airport

Salt Lake City International Airport is just to the northwest of central Salt Lake City, in the American state of Utah. It is a large airport, handling around twenty million passengers per annum, and is known by its IATA code of SLC. It is the fourth largest hub for the airline company Delta Air Lines, and also an important hub for the Delta Connection carriers Compass Airlines and SkyWest Airlines. For ground transportation, passengers have several options, however, car hire is one of the most popular forms of private transport chosen. Alamo Salt Lake City International Airport is one of the car rental companies available, and are an excellent choice for leisure travellers.

The airport’s car hire companies, that include Avis, Hertz and Budget as well, are not within the terminal buildings, but at the parking garage, on the lower level. They are within walking distance of the baggage claim areas, and are therefore very convenient for all passengers. Most are also open seven days a week, and twenty-four hours a day. To get the car that you need for a lovely holiday, or profitable business excursion, an online car rental reservation is recommended. A car can be booked online in a few easy steps, from the comfort of your home or office. Sometimes better car rental rates are even offered to customers who book early and pay online.

Cars from Alamo are of a very high quality, and cleaned and checked for safety before every rental. They could be as fuel-efficient as the Chevrolet Aveo and Nissan Versa in the Economy and Compact categories, or as large and spacious as the Dodge Grand Caravan and Chevrolet Suburban in the Minivan and Premium SUV categories. The smaller cars are usually cheaper, however, their space for luggage is limited. Try to arrange a car that is adequate in size, but still affordable for your pocket. Midsize cars are often a popular choice, such as the Toyota Corolla, and families may like to consider a Fullsize car, such as the Chevrolet Impala. The Impala comes with cruise control, power locks and windows, an automatic transmission and air conditioning. If a more luxurious car is required, the Nissan Maxima, Lincoln MKS or Cadillac DTS is recommended.

All the Salt Lake City International Airport car hire companies also offer a wide range of SUVs for hire, and may have Crossovers, Convertibles and Pickups available. Alamo’s SUVs include the Ford Escape, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Chevrolet Tahoe, Lincoln Navigator and Hummer H3, while Crossovers are similar to the Dodge Journey and GMC Acadia. Groups of travellers can hire one rental car for their needs, for example, the Chevrolet Express, with room for fifteen people. It also has room for four luggage items, and comes with power steering, ABS brakes and air bags.

Alamo is a car rental company that has been providing quality services for over thirty years. They have mainly focused their attention on the needs of leisure travellers, by offering many convenient services. Alamo introduced a rental contract that was just the size of an airline ticket, an Instant Alamo Rent A Car program that stores a traveller’s individual rental information and was the first company with real-time booking capabilities on the internet. In 2005, Alamo was also the only car rental company with an online check-in system. At sixty-five of their rental locations in the United States of America, customers can enjoy the convenience of self-service kiosks.

Child seats and satellite navigation systems can be hired from Alamo as well, and from Salt Lake City International Airport, hand controls for disabled drivers may be requested. Alamo’s hand controls are ideally used by persons with a lower limb disability, and are free of charge. The device will be fitted to a car with an automatic transmission, and should be reserved at least forty-eight hours before the vehicle is required.

Alamo one way hires can also be arranged by any renter of a vehicle, and is a service that is convenient for motorists who are only going ‘one way’, and who will not be returning to Salt Lake City International Airport. One way hire services from Alamo may require an advanced reservation, and may incur additional costs, over and above the usual rental fees. Cars may be driven to all cities in the state of Utah, and usually to neighbouring states as well, but may not be permitted to be driven out of the United States, into countries such as Mexico or Canada. However, always confirm your ideal return location with Alamo.

The Salt Lake City International Airport car rental companies require their primary renters to be over the age of 21 for car categories such as Economy and Compact, but over the age of 25 for categories that contain larger or luxury vehicles. Younger drivers are also subject to higher rental rates. All renters should present a valid driving license and a major credit card when collecting their vehicle, and all drivers registered on the agreement should be available in person. The vehicle hired will have a full tank of fuel, and should be checked for existing damages before it leaves the airport. Always take care of your rented car, and return it in a good condition. Customers may need to re-fuel their vehicle upon its return, however, if a tank of fuel was purchased, the vehicle may be returned as empty as possible, as no refunds are given for unused fuel.

Alamo, at Salt Lake City International Airport, will be happy to provide further information regarding their car hire services.
