Drop off was easy. Other than that, horrible experience. Did web check in so I could skip the line (their words). Ha! Had to wait in 2 lines. Took over an hour. Then was given a car with over 60K miles, no floor mats, holes in the interior , weird stains everywhere. I would have taken it back or refused it but we were already tired of waiting in line.Reviewed 17 Jul 2024

I chose this Kayak/Dollar deal because it was cheaper than other options, but then I ended up paying an additional $120 upon check in and the desk clerk was not able to tell me what it was all for. She also wouldn't guarantee that the hatch back car would have a trunk cover which is a ridiculous risk for a rental car company to take in the Bay Area. Thankfully the guy who gave me the keys was very kind and switched out the car for one where my bags would not be exposed to potential thieves.Reviewed 26 Jun 2024

Signage at SFO for where to get the car was nowhere. It said Dollar was on floor 3 and after trudging around with 2 babies and car seats and luggage up and down elevators, the car was found parked on the 1st floor. Not a single dollar sign anywhere upstairs saying where to go. Nothing on the app or email said where it was other than which parking space, no directions or parking garage level. Completely stressful and unnecessary.Reviewed 21 Jun 2024
