The routes were quite complicated. In East America, I rented a car from DOLLAR in Los Angeles, retur

This time I encountered a peculiar female staff member who forcefully sold additional insurance without asking and charged my card right away. When I checked the car rental agreement, I said I didn't need extra insurance and called the rental service's customer support to intervene. The representative asked the staff member to take the call, but she refused and withheld the rental agreement from me. After a long standoff, a manager-like Black gentleman took the call and handled the situation. Fortunately, I have had multiple rental experiences, but if it were a first-time renter, that female staff member might have succeeded. This issue is not specific to DOLLAR; it could happen with any company. Everyone should be cautious and promptly involve customer support to avoid lots of trouble.

Various scams. An Indian guy said I had to buy the insurance and refused to listen when I said no. He even refused to take a call from our Chinese coordinator! Eventually, he left the counter and hid. A woman came over to tell us our car was too small and suggested we upgrade to a bigger one. I said no, we need to resolve this issue. She replied, if you want to resolve it, find the guy from before because it's not my problem!

Not satisfied! Unfair terms!

The service quality was the worst I have ever experienced in my life. We were left waiting under the scorching sun for hours before we got the car. The website promised on-time car pickup, which simply doesn't exist. The Ford Focus mentioned on the website wasn’t available; instead, we got a small Toyota, an Economic model. We were also required to pay for a full tank of gas and basic insurance. After paying 840 yuan in China, we arrived in the US only to wait a long time and were forced to pay an additional 184 dollars. If I had a phone at the time, I would have definitely called to complain, but unfortunately, I had just left LAX airport, didn’t know anyone, and didn’t have a phone number. Dollar is terrible, I think Hertz might be a good choice since it is one of the biggest car rental companies. Everyone should try Hertz next time.

waited an hour and half to get car. Not enough check in agents.
