First, the car was FILTHY when we picked it up. Goo and grime all of the backseat. NO one cleaned this car... even the outdoor car handles were beshmeared with goo/sticky handprints. The worst was we checked the oil on our road trip only to find out that the oil was so low in the car that it was not registering on the dipstick. COMPLETELY dangerous! We ended up having to buy oil so we did not destroy the car. Dollar did not do any basic checks on this car before they rented it to us and basically put my family in danger. Having sufficient oil is a mandatory so you don't end up on the side of the road somewhere. Very disappointed.Reviewed 21 Jul. 2022

We got to the Dollar booth and there were no employees and 20 customers in line. The hertz people helped check us in when they didn’t have customers but it took an hour to get to the front of the line. Frustrating and not acceptable. Also I was charged $97 in taxes which I assumed were included with my total rental costs. The car was great and I didn’t have any trouble getting and dropping the car once I got through the line.Reviewed 18 Jul. 2022

There was only one agent at check in who left for his at one point and one agent from the next agency counter had to take over . Longest line and slowest moving line was Dollar . On the plus side , the drop off was greatest ever .Reviewed 18 Mar. 2022

They keep pushing you to upgrade or saying that you will get a compact car even when they don’t have any compact cars there. My suggestion is to stay strong to your choices and if it doesn’t work, go back and ask for an upgrade.Reviewed 7 Mar. 2022

Pros:Great car Mazda CX-5. Easy dropoff (contactless - just leave the keys in the car and go).Cons:As seems to be the new norm, the wait for pickup was much longer than it needed to be. Hire enough staff please.Reviewed 1 Jul. 2021

Pros:The car was clean and the price was very fair. However, see below...Cons:I rented a certain class for not only the luxury comfort, but for the size. However, Dollar did not have the car I rented. They first tried to down grade me to a lower class, but larger car. I did not think this was fair so I did not agree. We went through the options and I explained, due to having two of my elder uncles with me and their need for a larger car, I needed something larger. Eventually a larger car was offered, but at a much higher rate. Again, I did not agree as a car in my category should have been available to me. Eventually I was offered another luxury vehicle (supposedly in the same class), but much smaller and the entire weekend we had difficulty getting my uncles in and out of it. Due to the inability to have a car ready for me in the class I rented I would have preferred the “upgrade” to an adequate car but the agent would not agree without additional payment to which I did not think was fair.Reviewed 26 Apr. 2021
