Great service, fast and efficient

We had to wait quite a bit for the shuttle bus at LAX. Several AVIS and HERTZ shuttles came before one Dollar shuttle arrived. At the rental location, there were many people at Dollar, possibly because it was around noon, a peak time. We waited in line for nearly an hour. They did offer additional insurance, which is optional depending on your choice. Initially, we chose a Jeep Cherokee, but it struggled with uphill roads. Later, at the Dollar rental spot at San Francisco Airport, we switched to a GMC. Its performance was much better, although it consumed more fuel. The car exchange process was very convenient: just refuel, a quick inspection, and then you get a few cars to choose from, which was nice.

Renting a car from Dollar was very convenient, and the car itself was great. We picked up the car at the Los Angeles airport location and returned it at the San Francisco airport location, both of which provided a very comfortable experience. There were no unexpected insurance sales pitches as mentioned on the website (everything was handled on QEEQ, so there were no additional sales pitches on-site, which was the best and most expected outcome). After completing the paperwork (you might have to wait in line if there are many people), you go to pick a car yourself, with around ten models to choose from. Once you pick a car you're happy with, someone at the exit will scan and register it, and you're good to go. Thanks, it was an excellent experience.

The service was good, and there was no hard sell for additional insurance. We opted for the road assistance insurance ourselves. Everything was fine, and returning the car was easy.

Very satisfied. The Los Angeles Airport location did not aggressively push add-ons. There were many customers, so I waited in line for over 20 minutes. They only required a domestic driver's license and didn’t even check the translation. I rented a FORD ESCAPE, but similar vehicles including JEEP had mileages around 50,000-60,000 miles, so I chose one with just over 40,000 miles. The car was in great condition, except for a low tire pressure alert mid-trip. I called DOLLAR once, and they said I could exchange the car, but only at a store location. The low tire pressure might be due to the system being too sensitive, so I continued driving it as is. Note that at Washington Airport, DOLLAR requires notarized documents to rent a car.
