Alamo Frankfurt Airport, has rental counters in both terminal buildings, and are open from Monday to Saturday between the hours of 06:00 to 11:59. On Sundays they close at 12:30. Although customers can hire their vehicles directly from Alamo’s rental counters at the airport, it is often recommended to make an advanced booking in order to ensure your ideal car is ready and waiting for your arrival. Advanced reservations can be made from Alamo’s website, at www.alamo.com. On their website, customers will find all the vehicle categories available, pictures of example vehicles in each category, as well as details of the example vehicles, such as passenger and luggage capacities. Booking online is an easy process, simply fill in your required details and follow the instructions on Alamo’s website. You will also have the option to hire any additional equipment necessary for your travels, for example, a child safety seat or satellite navigation system. GPS units offered by the various car hire companies are usually of extremely high quality, and have many features which will help you to easily find any destination. They also often come pre-programmed with thousands of points of interest, enabling you to be able to find the nearest gas station, hotel, restaurant, pharmacy, tourist attraction, shopping center, golf course, business etc.
When hiring a vehicle from Alamo, customers will choose a vehicle category, rather than a car by its specific make and model. Customers should also only use the indicated seating and passenger capacities as a general guideline, as the vehicles may differ according to their manufacture. Single drivers or couples may find vehicles in the Mini category to be ideal, as these are smaller sized cars which are easy to manage and drive on busy city streets. However, they do accommodate up to five passengers, which makes them suitable for small families as well. An example vehicle in this category is the VW Fox 1.0, featuring ABS brakes, air conditioning and a manual transmission. Economy and Compact vehicles are of a similar size, although perhaps slightly larger. They are all hatchback models, such as the Opel Corsa 1.2 and Seat Leon 1.6. Vehicles in the categories mentioned above are often a popular choice amongst many renters, as they are competitively priced and fuel efficient.
Slightly larger vehicles which accommodate five passengers more comfortably can be hired from the categories of Midsize, Standard and Fullsize. The Opel Vectra 1.8 is available in the Midsize category, while the Audi A4 is an example vehicle in the Standard category. Both of these categories offer vehicles with a manual transmission, while vehicles in the Fullsize category have an automatic transmission, such as the Opel Signum 2.0. Passengers who require extra room for luggage may find vehicles in the Wagon categories at Alamo to be ideal. Wagon, or estate type vehicles often have a greater space for luggage than ordinary sedan-shaped vehicles. The Compact Wagon category features the Opel Astra Caravan 1.6, with air bags, air conditioning, ABS brakes and space for four luggage items, and the Midsize Wagon category offers the Opel Vectra Caravan 1.8 as an example vehicle. This vehicle can store up to six luggage items, which is similar to the vehicles in the categories of Standard Wagon, Fullsize Wagon and Luxury Wagon. Vehicles in the Fullsize and Luxury Wagon categories have a manual transmission, and include the Mercedes-Benz C-Klasse 2.2 and Mercedes E-Class T. The Audi A4 1.9 is an example vehicle in the Standard Wagon category.
Business class passengers who need a vehicle suitable for presentation purposes can hire from Alamo’s categories of Premium or Luxury. These vehicles are generally more elegant and stylish than the ordinary rented vehicle. Examples include the Audi A6 2.7 and the Mercedes-Benz E-Klasse 2.2. Larger sized vehicles are also available from Alamo, such as the Renault Grande Espace 2.2 and VW Caravelle 2.5. They seat seven and eight passengers respectively, have a manual transmission and are equipped with air bag protection and air conditioning. These vehicles are ideal for larger families or for groups of friends who wish to travel together.
