Hand Control Driving Devices

Alamo is happy to provide vehicles with hand controls for our customers with disabilities. These are provided at no additional charge and are ready within 48 hours of making the reservation.

 

Surrogate Drivers

Customers with disabilities who do not hold a driving licence can still rent with Alamo Rent A Car when accompanied by a driver who presents a valid licence. Minimum age restrictions and other normal rental qualifications apply, but there is no additional charge for the stand-in driver, who will not need to produce a credit card or be required to meet our financial underwriting requirements.
