Rental requirements
These are evidence states for individual rules. A source-reviewed field is not a pickup approval; its location, country or recorded-offer scope and remaining conditions still apply.

Alamo SFO offers counter bypass, not a self-service kiosk
The San Francisco Alamo branch explicitly marks its Self Service Kiosk unavailable. Accelerated Check-in and Skip the Counter remain advertised, so these are separate service choices. Take AirTrain to the Rental Car Center and floor 4; the location is 780 North McDonnell Road and its phone is +1 844-370-8302.
Alamo's after-hours policy names the floor 2 return area and keys left inside the vehicle, but generic services copy mentions a drop-box. Confirm which key procedure governs your return. Neither a shared facility nor a national kiosk promotion replaces this location's actual availability and return instructions.
Branch service information checked 2026-09-30; this date is separate from the rental-rule evidence.

Alamo SFO: sources, dates and remaining gaps
8 source-reviewed fields · 0 Unknown · 0 Conflict. A reviewed source supports the stated condition and scope; it does not mean every rule is known or that your rental is approved.
Re-verified 2026-10-19 against the current official source (minimum age, debit, itinerary, deposit/hold, vehicle class, license/ID); stored values unchanged, status kept. Policy fields substantively rechecked 2026-10-03 against current official source content. Refreshed: minimum age, debit, itinerary, deposit/hold, vehicle class, license/ID. Unrelated operator identity, physical-card evidence outside SIXT, service information and other field dates are preserved. The official SFO page publishes branch-specific age, debit, itinerary, deposit, document, vehicle, and California additional-driver terms.

Operating-entity evidence
Enterprise Rent-A-Car Co of San Francisco, LLC · unclassified · checked 2026-09-06.
SFO's Commission extended this named on-airport operating lease through August 31, 2027; the current directory lists Alamo and a current NLRB record ties this entity to the Alamo trade name. This verifies the airport operating or concession entity for the listed brand, not the final counterparty on every rental agreement.
