Worst car ever, bad servivePros:The fact that the car got me to Portland and back.Cons:I chose Dollar because it sounded like I'd get a Ford Focus or similar. Instead, the guy at the Dollar lot pointed at some cars and said to choose one. They were all terribly tiny, awful, compact trash. I chose one and drove it to the exit of the lot. The lady told me "oh sawry thats like scheduled for maintenance. choose a different car like sawry for the inconvenience" and so I chose the second best car of the terrible cars left from which to choose. It was a Mitsubishi Mirage. They must call it that because it's not actually a car. The worst car I've ever driven. The steering wheel had to be pointed 20º to the left for the thing to drive straight, it was completely gutless and felt like the transmission was going to break when we were stopped at lights. It was so loud inside that we could barely hear our music. It was a piece of trash. I'm never renting that type of car ever again.Reviewed 2 Jan. 2016

Quoted price almost tripled! Watch Out!Pros:Convenient and quick pickup, especially the folks out on the lot were very helpful!Cons:Quoted price on CarRentals.com was $106.08 for a 4 day rental. My final bill was $280.81. $47.96 of this was a required electronic toll service the lady at the Dollar desk told me I needed if I wanted to drive on bridges in the SF Bay Area (not true - it's only required for the Golden Gate Bridge). In addition to an amazing amount of taxes and tourism fees, the per day price of the car doubled. Will not be using this website again unless I get a confirmed quote for my vehicle, as well as more information about local driving requirements!Reviewed 1 Jan. 2018

Added service without explainingPros:good van at a good priceCons:When I checked in, the lady that I worked with seemed to have an attitude from the start. She wouldn't make eye contact with me and seemed like I had done something to offend her in the past. I told her I had a child traveling with me and asked if child booster seats were available. She shook her head yes and said nothing further but kept typing away. My plan was to see how much they were going to charge me to see if it was more cost efficient to just lease one from them or go to a store and buy a booster seat and take it home with us as we could use a spare. So when she was done typing and handed me the key, I asked what about the car seat, she said "they'll give you one when you get the car" so I thought "Oh, since she didn't mention how much it cost maybe it was a California or Dollar Rental car rule/policy that they loan you one upon request and you're not charged." We used the car booster seat they gave us and later I found out that they charged us about $14 a day ... so I paid $140 for a car seat that I could have purchased for about $30.Reviewed 10 Jul. 2017

Got ripped off for not having a credit cardPros:NothingCons:The desk attendant would not rent to me because I didn't have a credit card. I was never told that using a debit card would be an issue. They then called in a very suspicious retail car company that charged me triple what I expected to pay and gave me a milage limit on my car. I will never use Dollar again and hope nobody else does I was blatantly taken advantage of. This was my first time booking through kayak and will never use this service again either. I knew my deal was to good to be true and payed in the end.Reviewed 20 Nov. 2016
