I am concerned Alamo will over charge me for the estimate. If they do charge an unreasonable amount, what should I do?

If you don't have insurance and the card doesn't cover the truck, you are going to pay for whatever the damages cost to get fixed. You don't really have a say in the matter on how much it will cost to get fixed. You'll pay loss of use (whatever it costs to rent the vehicle per day every day that it's in the shop) in addition to whatever the damages are. It's going to be fixed with all manufacturer parts and like it's brand new. And if you don't pay for the damages, it will go to collections and it will impact your credit.

So in other words, you will pay whatever the rental company tells you it costs to repair or your credit will suffer.

All of this could have been avoided if you just paid for the Damage Waiver, FWIW.
