I always use Alamo as I like their service and have always had no issues. This year as I usually do I asked for, and got, the Fuel Service Option as I left the garage. Returned the car empty (or close to) and got my receipt which showed the FSO.

On return I found that I had been charged to refuel the car, ie as if I did not have FSO. Just a bit peeved! So email Alamo through the US website Contact Us page and 24 hours later the fee had been repayed.

So worth contacting them.

that receipt thing sound odd, but, well...

next, you should always check your recepit when returning the car (as well as when picking it up)

Mr Tom has worn his fingers off to the bone, typing that advice so often on his keyboard...


Car hire are a thing where it's so easy to get scammed, or overcharged, that it's the place where you need to take your time, hit pause and check everything, before going to fast forward again

next time you'll know, and those reading this will also know
I has station gave me a receipt for the $25 and I returned for the change when it fint cost me that much, I didn't think to get another receipt and I will be honest I font usually get one at all. I also realise that I should have checked my Alamo receipt before I walked away but didn't as I have never had any issues before. I plan to email but know I will just have to put it down to experience if I get no joy. My own fault for making assumptions and not checking. Wont make that mistake again.

Hi, email them and query/complain about it, I had to complain a few years ago after Alamo charged us for extra insurance that I had said no to at the counter, hadn't realised until we got home and it came through on my statement, I emailed them and complained and within a couple of days a refund appeared in my account and an apology email. You have nothing to lose by trying.

Glad you got it sorted, and all for an email.
