According to the United States Department of Justice, Alamo was the subject of many such complaints. These complaints eventually culminated in an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice. Alamo reached an out of court settlement in the matter If a customer returns the rental vehicle before the expiration of the rental agreement, Alamo considers the original contract to be terminated and instead charges its default daily rate to the consumer's credit card. Depending on the terms of the special weekly rate, this may result in a doubling or tripling of the original contract amount. Alamo does not charge a early return fee. The rental contract ends on the day the vehicle is returned. No additonal fee's are for returning early.

Car classification is subjective since many vehicles fall into multiple categories or do not fit well into any. Not all car types are common in all countries and names for the same vehicle can differ by region. Furthermore, some descriptions may be interpreted differently in different places. Broadly speaking, there are a set of classifications which are widely understood in North America, and another set which are somewhat understood in English-speaking contexts in Europe. Some terms borrowed from non-English languages may have different meanings when used in their native language.
