Alamo at LAX

We are collecting a car from Alamo 3 days after landing at LAX. We have booked a car to pick us up from our hotel to take us back to LAX, but how do we get to the Alamo desk to get the car? Thanks

At LAX, Alamo is not located directly inside the terminals but operates out of the airport’s consolidated rental car facility (ConRAC). Since you have a hotel shuttle booked to take you back to LAX, you will be dropped off at the central rental car facility, which serves all the major rental companies including Alamo.

Here’s how the process works in detail:

  • After your hotel shuttle drops you at LAX, follow the signs for “Rental Car Shuttles” or “Rental Car Center.” The shuttle typically drops passengers near the ConRAC area.
  • Once at the ConRAC, enter the building and look for the Alamo counter. All the major rental companies have clearly marked desks, so Alamo will be easy to find.
  • At the Alamo desk, provide your booking confirmation and driver’s license, complete any paperwork, and receive your rental agreement and car key.
  • After checking in, follow the signs to the Alamo parking area within the facility. There will be designated Alamo sections where your vehicle will be parked.

Additional tips:

  • Allow extra time for the shuttle and the check-in process, especially if you are traveling during peak hours, as LAX can be busy.
  • If you have a preferred vehicle type, mention it at the counter, but availability is subject to what Alamo has in stock at that time.
  • Keep your hotel shuttle confirmation and booking details handy, just in case the driver needs to verify your ride to the ConRAC.

In summary, your hotel shuttle will take you to the central rental car facility at LAX, from where you can easily find the Alamo desk, complete your paperwork, and pick up your car. The entire process is designed to be straightforward and well-signed, so you shouldn’t have trouble navigating from the shuttle drop-off to your rental.
