We had this in May when we picked the car up from the airport. Started with a couple of ants and little spiders. Within a couple of hours of picking it up and every time we opened the door there was something else in there, my husband took it back to the airport and they were very apologetic and changed it straight over.

We didn't phone them (Alamo) but just took it straight back (presume it's not a black Jaguar SUV?)

Bondy. Sadly this is not uncommon. A right pain though and bear in mind some of their ants do bite and can also freak people out.
If not too bad I would drive it to a depot and swap it.
If it's infested they have to come and swap it for you, they will bring a new car on a low loader.

If you do have an Ant in your car just don't let him drive.
