Would have been nice if they had car quoted on lot. They did not and gave me an acceptable alternative.

Never even got to get a rental.. Paid through kayak and was told using a third party was a big mistake by Dollar. They wanted a $500 deposit bc I had a debit card. Ended up losing money and using a different car service called Turo.

Poor|May 2023
We arrived at 12:30am and, along with several other customers, to discover they had no cars despite all of us having reservations. They locked the doors & wouldn’t talk to us for awhile, then told us all to come back the next day. We had to take an Uber 45 minutes to and from our hotel. Will not use them again- terrible customer service. What is the point if a reservation if they don’t hold a car for you!?

The only problem was there were no cars readily available. We waited about 45 minutes after we went to the check-in counter. We passed on taking the electric vehicle, so waited for the next.
