The vehicle kept being changed, Twice, and each time the rental increased. The explanation was mechanical issue with then original car. Which makes no sense since there are multiple version of the car and car class on their lot. Then upselling toll tags cheaper options exist but were not presented and when questioned said they dont exist. Having traveled most of my professional career i knew differently, but due to the circumstances, a family emergency, i had to go with their deal. Although the guy at the exit gate told me that i had been "hustled".

Experience was fine. Car smelled like black and milds a bit, some windows switches were broken, and it ran poorly (ticking noise from the engine); however, it got me from A to B for a very fair price! Not mad whatsoever. Would do it again.

Completely disappointing. When I arrived at the Dollar pick up spot, there was a long line Z. People said they had been waiting for more than an hour, and still only halfway through. I walked over to Budget. There was no one in line. Rented a car in minutes and was on my way, for $80 more. Good riddance to Dollar.

I set up my reservation online well in advance (and specifically turned down additional coverage) but the reserved car was not ready for me when I arrived, so I had to go to the desk where they apparently signed me up for the additional coverage I had previously opted out of - and I didn't find this out until the end of my rental when they charged my card for $200 more than expected. Be very careful when dealing with desk agents, they will scam you!

The website said you could rent with a debit card. Then told me I had to use a credit card. Then did not refund any of the money I paid. This is unacceptable. I also can not call in because nobody ever answers the phone. It’s an automated line that says 10 min wait every time you call no matter what day or time.

Pick up at 12: Am was good and fast. Wanted to try out the car it was new to the market so I got that and it had the leg room I needed. On my return it was an older woman who did her best and because I had a foot protector asked if I needed a ride to the airport. I took the shuttle but she really cared and had already asked. Car was clean and in great shape.

I booked to pick up the car at 7pm. When I got to the location at 7pm I was told they have closed . I saw a gentle man inside the store and another gentleman sited outside the store. And they both told me they have closed. I was never told the store closed at 7pm. Also I got there at 7pm as booked but never attended to. That’s not professional. If you agree to attend to a customer at 7pm, you should honor your agreement . That messes up all my plans as I intended to travel that night

The minute we were give the car we were asked if they had an alternative to which we were abruptly told “no” the car smelled (mix of air freshener and smoke) there were holes in the driver and passenger side floor carpet- not the mats. We had a 3 hour drive the car was unstable and shoot at speeds over 45-50. the next morning the car was replaced when the car arrived and we opened the door- the small of marijuana was horrific. Even the delivery driver acknowledged it: We had to travel the next morning for a family situation so we didn’t have the time (or energy) to go through the exchange process. Every morning we opened all windows ran the car and the A/c to try to reduce the smell for wherever we had to travel. While that helped the smell was so permeated in the car it really did not make a big difference (it helped maybe 25%). Because of this we (and our clothes) and our passengers smelled of Marijuana for 12 days. I could not drive my young niece (13 years old)and her friends to school or sports events because of how she would smell upon arrival. I took my mother to a retirement community smelling of marijuana. While in isolation this might cause a chuckle- in reality it as mortifying and horribly inappropriate. At 56 I am a very seasoned traveler having lived and traveled extensively on 5 continents. This is the single WORST car rental ever.

I prepaid for the rental and my flight time was changed where the rental office was closed early on the day of my arrival. I tried numerous times and there was no local phone number for the location for my rental at the airport. Customer service was not able to assist, and also denied a refund for my rental.I was not able to pick up my rental and was charged the full cost of the rental as well. Highly unsatisfied.
