Cons: The car was pretty underpowered
Mixed review
Pros: the office is within the airport. The drop-off was great and fast. One employee was awful, but the rest were great.
Cons: You need to have your driver license, passport and credit card from the same country. As a Swiss citizen living in the USA for 20 years, they refused to rent the car. My wife had to rent it. I never had such an issue anywhere else in the world. A week later we rented a car in Switzerland with Enterprise and it was not a problem. On top of that we had to get a 3rd car, as the first was having engine problem, the second one was a smaller car class and they were trying to tell s it was the same class...and the 3rd it was correct. Not very efficient.
Pros: Got a great new car. Drop off super easy and quick.
Cons: Pickup wait was long, but personnel was friendly.
Cons: dropoff sucked very difficlt location to find
Good car, good service
Pros: The car was clean and new.
Cons: They upgraded me to a larger car for free but that came with a double insurance cost and I kind of had to go with this setup...
The rental was serviced by Hertz, and dollar had a small sign that was only visible once you entered the Hertz office.
You get what you pay for
Pros: Overall the value was unbeatable.
Cons: 1) Pickup location was confusing because it was not made clear.
2) Car was dirty when it was delivered.
3) Condition of car was not the best...alignment was off, tires were low on tread & inside the car there were items that were broken.
INSANE credit card hold.
Pros: Nothing. I never actually rented the car because of the fact that Dollar insisted on blocking out $900 on my credit cart - and did so without informing me first.
Cons: I went to pick up my dollar rent-a-car in Valencia Spain and the woman at the counter (who worked for Hertz - Dollar doesn't even have staff at the VLC airport, they farm out their rentals to another company) took care of all the paperwork and handed me something to sign. This is when I found out that, without even telling me, she had blocked out $942 on my credit card (in addition to the rental charge).
Now, I had planned to use my CapOne card because it doesn't charge foreign transaction fees. If I have known this woman was going to block out almost all of my remaining credit, I would NEVER have allowed it. But it was too late. I was stuck in Spain with almost zero credit in the card I had been planning to use, thanks to Dollar's INSANE security hold.
Screw that. i cancelled the contract and rented somewhere else, with ZERO credit card hold. But of course now I had to use another source of payment for the next five days while the merchant system released the pending hold, which cost me a bunch of foreign transaction fees and made my trip a lot more difficult and expensive than it had to be.
THANKS DOLLAR! You jerks.
Never again.
Fast and Easy
Pros: Dollar is actually serviced at the Hertz desk/ office here so that was a little confusing. But no problem as they took good care of me.
Cons: The street is busy, so when you return the car I wound up double parking on the road and ran in with my bags to drop off the paperwork.
Pros: Thanks to the guy at Valencia airpot everything went fine.

A small, economy, and easy-to-park car is ideal for driving through the city, but if you want to make the most of your road trip around the coast, opt for an automatic, lower car such as Ford Mustang. When traveling in the summer months, make sure your rental car has good air conditioning to help you battle the Spanish heat.
The speed limit in towns and cities is typically 50 kilometers per hour (31 miles per hour), but it may be lower in certain residential areas, in which case the speed limit signs will be posted. Speed limits on rural roads and highways range between 90 and 100 km/h (55 mph and 62 mph), while on motorways (autopistas) and expressways (autovias) they are 120 km/h (74 mph).
The average gas prices in Valencia are approximately €4.87 (around $5.54) per gallon. You can find lower prices of around €4.47 ($5.08) per gallon, and the higher prices are usually €5.30 ($6.02) per gallon. If you're heading to the gas station in the summer months or on the weekend, make sure you go early in the morning, as traffic increases when both the Spanish and foreigners start making their way to the beach.
Parking in Valencia can be quite challenging and pricey in the historical center, so a good idea is to check that your hotel can provide off-street parking options. Make sure you always park your car in a blue zone, which is where you're allowed to leave your vehicle for a specific amount of time. Avoid yellow and red zones, as you may risk being fined or having your car towed. Street parking is paid from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and from 4 to 8 p.m., Monday to Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays. Prices can range from €0.80 to €1 per hour.
