What Customers Say

Reviews highlight a stark divide in customer experiences, with many customers praising Alpha Car Rental's competitive pricing, friendly service from staff (particularly Ram), and flexibility with last-minute bookings and vehicle changes. However, frequent concerns emerge about unauthorized credit card charges, unprofessional customer service, operational issues like unstaffed locations during posted business hours, and confusion with a similarly named company "Alpha Luxury Car Rental" that has led to mixed-up reviews and billing disputes. Customers frequently mention both excellent rates and clean vehicles from satisfied renters, alongside serious warnings about unexpected fees and poor communication from dissatisfied customers.
