Oakland extension

Pros: Dollar employees were friendly and helpful.
Cons: I reserved a Chevy Traverse for 4 people and 8 suitcases. The Traverse was not available, nor was a comparable size, so I was “upgraded” to a much larger Ford Expedition XLT. Normally, this would be great but I was staying in the hills of SF and LA with narrow streets and steep driveways. Parking o the street had to be parallel parking which was not easy in this beast. I really would have liked to have the vehicle I reserved!

Oakland airport dollar rent a car
Pros: Easy process to get to rental car and checkout
Cons: They didn’t have the size car I reserved and gave me a somewhat equivalent car but not what I wanted or had reserved. It was hot weather and every time the inside of the car got warm it reeked of cigarette and pot smoke. We spent the five days with the car windows all down bc it was awful. Was offered a 10 dollar off coupon for experience. Won’t use them again

Good customer service with a smile
Pros: When I arrived, they were very professional and friendly. They did not have the car I reserved ready; however rather than wait, the associate allowed me to take a Mazda 3 and discounted my rate. The shuttle driver back to the airport was wonderful with a great smiling attitiude at 5:00 am in the morning. Good stuff.

Service
Pros: The car I got was a good car for the price I paid.
Cons: Customer service during pick up was not the best and no answers to my questions. My magnetic strip on my credit card didn't work and the service agent refused to type it in manually and refuses to use my debit card. The vehicle had lots of damage on it and seems like it was in a car accident in the front. Alignment was off. Wheels were unbalanced. Braking the car was shaking the wheel. On top of that wanted to charge me $350 on top of what I was expecting to pay through Kayak.

Easy pick-up and drop-off
Pros: I really liked how quick the process is to pick-up and drop-off your rental car. I also really liked how they take you to the lot and give you the choice to choose which car you would like to rent. The car was very clean on the inside and ran very smoothly. The woman in the car lot was very friendly and greeted us with a sincere smile.
Cons: The counter staff could've been a little more lively. He was a little bit pushy with all the extra add-ons too when we kept telling him that we don't need anything else and we were covered by our own insurance.

Easy Drop Off Experience

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!
