There was no available car to rent when I arrived at the reserved time. I had reserved my car about 2 weeks in advance. Instead I had to rent a mini van, which was not of my choosing.

I was among many who had a reservation, but no car available. The staff was very friendly and tried to help. They did after some time come up with a smaller car, but they could not take my company card as it did not have my name but the company name. I have since opened a company account.
The Van was DIRTY. I had to buy cleaning products to clean the VAN.. Seats was dirty and stains. I had to cover the seats with sheets. Lights on dash board went out. No Radio, couldn't charge our phone. The Van was Terrible. It was Terrible, Terrible.

Closed early on a Saturday and offered no help with reservation. Not even suggestion of other location or number to call.
During pick up the line was way too slow and the Hertz mobile app wasn’t allowing me to pass the desk and go directly to my car as advertised. After calling hertz the reservation was changed in my favor but at the desk the reservation hadn’t changed and I picked up yet another car.

Hours posted on website and when you call the corporate offices were incorrect so I had to pick up my car a day late. There was then no compensation for this missed day and they wouldn’t even allow me to then drop it off a day late in return. The pick up process was so slow (I was there for almost and hour) and none of the employees seemed to care about the efficiency while three of us were waiting.
Mr. Phil was very friendly, helpful, courteous, and professional. 10/10!

Great car…personnel both in pick up and drop off excellent
There wasn’t even a car available for me when I was there and ended up being stranded because I was not a priority even with a reservation. I will never use them or their business again. And if they are in business with Kayak, maybe not Kayak either.

On a holiday weekend there was ONE person working the counter for Dollar, Thrifty and Hertz. There were over 60 people in line and we stood there for over an hour. That’s absolutely ridiculous. I would have gladly paid more money to a different company that was able to get people in and out in under 10 minutes. Won’t use them again!

NEVER rent from Dollar, the orphan child of Hertz. Expect 0 customer service and runaround’s that will waste your time. WHAT YOU SEE IS NOT WHAT YOU WILL PAY. A quoted $350 one way from BNA to RDU went horribly wrong upon return. An older Kia Minivan ended up running me $850 for a 36 hour rental because I returned 4 hours late, despite calling Dollar (waiting 1 hour on hold), and being told the extra charges would amount to $31.50. Agent upon return said if I had a dispute to go to the Hertz counter, Hertz employee just checked my rental out on the computer and handed me the bill, not at all willing or able to hear that there was a discrepancy between being quoted $31.50 extra vs the nearly $400 extra I have paid. As someone loyal to National, I’m not making this same mistake again and advise everyone to avoid Dollar- possibly even Hertz too unless you’re a premium member.

I had an SUV prepaid and reserved for a 10 AM pickup. When I got to the booth, I was told that there was a 90 minute to 2 hour delay. I waited over an hour then agreed to take a smaller car. I was told that there was no way to know when I could get the SUV I had paid for. There were 2 other people in front of me still waiting on SUV's. Then when I returned the car at 6 AM, they were not open. I had to drop it and hope it was still there and in good shape when they finally opened. DO NOT USE DOLLAR

Buick Encore has a very awkward USB charging port with no charging pad as an option. Rental return was not good—Nashville Int charged for an additional four hours though it was returned on time, and fuel refill when it was returned full. Disappointed.
First, I paid for the car via Kayak. When I showed up to pick it up, I was told that third parties like Kayak had overbooked and there were no cars available. This left a lot of people stranded at the airport scrambling to try and find a car with another service. I would not suggest anyone use this if you want something guaranteed when you pay for it.

They don't honor same day reservations. So I make a reservation with Kayak, only to get to the Thrifty counter and find out they wouldn't honor it. I had to go to Alamo and ended paying $170 more than I was quoted for Thrifty. Poor experience.

When I arrived I was told that they do not honor same-day reservations. That they had cars available but I wasn't allowed to rent one because I had reserved that day. This is probably the dumbest policy I've ever heard of in my entire life and I'll never rent from a single thrifty again because of that.
