Mobile Nissan Altima 2016

We choose a Nissan Altima 2016 model at Orlando airport
Went to one of the Disney parks and came back to car and the battery was flat (seemed strange that the horn didn't go off when we pressed the remote)
Tried to start the car and was dead
Checked I hadn't left the lights or anything that could have drained the battery
A kind family came and gave me a jump start and the car fired up
Went to car yesterday morning and it started ok
Would you ring Alamo and get them to change the car as I don't feel confident with it

I would rock up at the Disney Car Centre or the Dolphin and ask to change it.

As above, I'd take it back to the Car Care Center. Don't want it failing at an inconvenient time and ruining your plans.

Mike. CCC is the best to swap it out at. I had to swap a Lincoln last Summer. Great place, no pushy desk clerks and a reasonable choice of cars albeit you get what they give you.
They won't let you around the back as it's too dangerous with vehicle movements. I did though!

Fired an email off to Alamo and this was the response

Good morning

Mike4scuba,

Hope you are having a great day. Hope you are enjoying your vacation. I received your email in regards to the vehicle. We apologized for the inconvenience please stop by the Car Care Center and they will be able to switch the vehicle for another one. Once again we apologized for the inconvenience.

Will I need to fill the car wth fuel before I go?

No you wont. Nice little bit of saving. I took a Lincoln back as it has a slow puncture. Had about 3 gallons in it. Drove off in a Cadillac with a full tank. On that holiday I only used $5 of fuel in total that I paid for!
They dont care.
