Washington

A beautiful autumn day on which to explore Washington but first we had to return our rented car to Alamo.
Washington Monument.
Looking down on Union Station.
Alamo were über efficient. We had filled the car with petrol and had no luggage. The attendant had a handheld device into which he entered our details before checking over the car. In a couple of minutes we were done.
Ever since we rented the car I had been expecting Alamo to find a way to nail us and get more money from us. I couldn't have been more surprised. Their service was excellent, the car was just fine, they extended the rental period easily and efficiently and charged us exactly what they said they would when we made the reservation. Thanks Alamo!
