Purpose of the site; reservations and transactions.

Alamo provides the Site solely to assist you in viewing car rental options and submitting reservation requests. This Site does not guarantee that you will be able to secure a reservation, that we will accept your request for a reservation or that we will not cancel a reservation. Rental agreements between Alamo and users of the Site are entered into exclusively at the offices of Alamo and its affiliates, or their respective franchisees, and are not entered into through this Site.

All reservations and transactions made through the Site are subject to acceptance by Alamo, which is at our sole discretion. Without exception, this means that Alamo may refuse to accept or may cancel any reservation or transaction, whether or not such reservation or transaction has been confirmed, with or without cause, in our sole discretion and, unless you select the prepayment option (if available), without incurring liability to you or any third party. For example, and without limitation, we may not accept or may cancel a reservation due to inventory shortages, inventory limitations and manufacturer recalls.

You may cancel a reservation at any time, whether or not the reservation or transaction has been confirmed, with or without cause. Cancellation does not give you any liability unless you select the prepayment option (if available).
