Alamo Rent A Car

Almost a month ago I reserved a car from the Regina airport with Alamo at a price which was already significantly more than it would have been a year ago. Today I received an email (less than 24 hours before the pickup time)telling me that Alamo had unilaterally cancelled my reservation for tomorrow. I called Alamo head office and was assured that the contract was still in place and they sent me a confirmation to that affect. Just to be sure, I called the Regina airport office and was told flat out that the contract was cancelled because they didn't have a car available for me which left me stranded. I asked to speak to the supervisor and was told no one was available. When I asked if other reservations had been cancelled I was told that they were not and could not explain why my reservation was cancelled. I called Alamo head office again and was told that there were cars available and that I could reserve a car through them but at 3 times the cost of what I had originally agreed to pay. So. It would appear that because I reserved a car ahead of time to secure a good rate, I got bumped so that someone else or me for that matter could reserve a car at the last minute and pay 3 times the price. This is a SCAM. Renters beware. I am absolutely appalled that this company is able to abuse their clients with impunity.
