I just found out about ERAC buying Alamo-National and I feel sorry for all those involved. I worked for ERAC for two years before quitting due to extreme stress and a stroke then went to Premier RAC which was a small but excellent company to work for. Budget bought Premier and they slowly phased all the old Premier people out and moved in long time Budget employees. Alamo was next on my hit-parade of rental jobs but I quit after I found out that all they did was sit around an do nothing. I have no idea how that company lasted so long as we averaged about 15 rentals a day and had 4 employees at our branch. My branch manager would sleep in his office most of the time and the rest of us watched tv. I realized quickly that Alamo was a dead end (as is all of the rental industry) and I changed vocations. All the Alamo's in my city closed down a couple of years later, except the airport location, and I assumed they were at the end of their rope. Now ERAC is buying them and those poor Alamo employees are in for one hell of a ride. RUN!
