Alamo Car Rental at Bologna Airport

The passenger terminal at Bologna airport has many facilities, which include a number of car hire companies. One of these companies is Alamo Rent a Car, who are very popular for their holiday and leisure rental vehicles, and low rental prices. Alamo is also known for their excellent customer service. Bologna Airport is of a reasonable size, handling just over five and a half million passengers per year.

Alamo Bologna Airport can be found in the arrivals area of the Airport, which is on the ground floor of the terminal building, and their vehicles are parked in the P2 Multi-storey parking garage. Alamo’s rental counters are open every day of the week at 08:00, and their rental offices close on weekdays at 23:30, and over weekends at 22:00 Passengers may also reserve their car from Alamo’s website, at www.alamo.com. All information regarding the vehicle categories available at this location, and their rental terms and conditions, can be found on their website.

Example vehicles on Alamo’s website also display their luggage and passenger capacities. These indications can be used as a general guideline when choosing the correct size of vehicle. Smaller vehicles at Alamo include the Fiat Panda Dynamic 1.2 and Ford Fiesta Titanium 1.2. Both vehicles have a manual transmission and air conditioning. Although these little cars are great for city driving, families may find them a little too squashed, as most families need more interior space within their vehicle. Compact vehicles can also be hired, such as the Alfa 147 JTD M-Jet Progression 1.6, and there are also Compact Wagons available, such as the Fiat Stilo SW Active 1.6, which is a vehicle able to store a few more luggage items.

The VW Passat Comfortline 1.9 is found in Alamo’s Midsize category, while the Midsize Specialty category contains vehicles such as the Mercedes B 200 CDI 2.0. Both of these vehicles are manually driven, and have room for four large luggage items. Fullsize vehicles include the Mercedes C220 CDI Elegance 2.2, which is an automatic vehicle. Automatic vehicles are popular amongst many passengers. More vehicles at Alamo with an automatic transmission can be hired from the Premium category, such as the Mercedes E280 CDI Avangarde 2.8. Premium vehicles are more elegant and stylish than the usual rented car, and may have many extra luxury features.

Two vehicles that are ideal for longer journeys, families and groups of friends, are the Fiat Ulyesses Dynamic 2.0 and the Fiat Ducato Panorama 2.8. Between seven and nine passengers are ideal for these types of cars, and they have a manual transmission.

Alamo Rent a Car was established in 1974, and therefore has many years of car rental experience. Once they were more established, Alamo quickly became one of the most popular vacation rental providers, offering a fun, low-cost and high-value rental experience. Alamo was the first car hire company to offer real-time booking capabilities on the Internet. Customers at Alamo can expect professional but friendly service, and high quality rental cars with low mileage.

Alamo Bologna Airport customers may also belong to the Alamo Quicksilver program. This is a free membership, which offers many benefits, such as a simplified reservation and rental process, counter bypass options and special members-only deals. There is a very comprehensive corporate program offered by Alamo as well. Customers with a corporate account can enjoy guaranteed low rates throughout the year, and priority service at the Silver Service Counter. Some of the other benefits include unlimited mileage on round-trip rentals, a dedicated corporate reservation desk, flexible billing options and 24-hour emergency roadside assistance.

Similar to most car hire companies, there are certain rental terms and conditions that should be fully understood before hiring a vehicle. The primary renter at Alamo, Bologna Airport, is required to be at least 21 years of age, and to have a valid drivers license. The license should also have been held for at least a year in the primary renter’s country of residence, and an International Driving Permit may be required for Foreign Renters. A ‘young drivers fee’ may be applicable to rentals from individuals between 21 and 25 years of age, and this extra amount per day of rental is due to additional young drivers insurance that is necessary for the vehicle. Primary renters should also have a major credit card in their names, in order to pay for the rental.

Alamo, at their rental location in Bologna Airport, will be more than willing to answer any questions you may have regarding their services or vehicles.
