Purpose of the site; reservations and transactions.
Alamo provides the Site solely to help you view vehicle rental options and submit reservation requests. This Site does not guarantee that you will be able to secure a reservation, that we will accept your request for a reservation, or that we will not cancel a reservation. Rental agreements between Alamo and users of the Site are entered into exclusively at the offices of Alamo and its subsidiaries, or their respective franchises, and are not signed through this Site.
All reservations and transactions made through the Site are subject to acceptance by Alamo, which is at our complete discretion. Without exception, this means that Alamo may refuse to accept or may cancel any reservation or transaction, whether or not such reservation or transaction has been confirmed, with or without reason, at our sole discretion and, unless you select the prepayment option (if available), without incurring liability to you or third parties. For example, and without limitation, we may not accept or cancel a reservation due to inventory shortages, inventory limitations, and manufacturer recalls.
You can cancel a reservation at any time, regardless of whether the reservation or transaction has been confirmed or not, with or without reason. You are not responsible for the cancellation, unless you select the prepayment option (if available).
