Do not rent from Dollar, long wait times, insurance upselling, few service locations, not cheap

The staff added insurance without asking, even though I had already purchased it.

Satisfied

Do not rent a car from Dollar in the US!!! / Do not rent from Dollar in the US. They offer lower prices online, but if it's crowded, they will tell you your reservation is canceled if you booked through a Chinese website. I had to wait in line for nearly two hours and was forced to rent a car without a reservation, costing me $393.01 for one day. They offer the lowest prices online, making it very busy here. Many people waited in line for over an hour just to reach the counter. Then, they informed me that my reservation didn’t exist. After spending nearly two hours there, I agreed to rent a Suburban as a walk-in, thinking it was a system error since they mentioned they had just upgraded their computer system that morning at 10am. Instead of paying $466 per week as per my reservation, I ended up paying $393.01 for just one day. A one-day rental costs as much as a week's reservation. I called customer service and realized later that this was a company-wide practice: they lure you in with low prices and then overcharge you.

The service was good. They offered me insurance and a roadside assistance service, which weren't too expensive, so we bought them. It was also to ensure a smooth trip!

I booked a Ford Focus but was told it wasn't available. They should have upgraded for free, but they were unwilling to do so and forced me to buy optional insurance. I mentioned I had already prepaid, but because the receipt was in Chinese, Dollar Car Rental didn't acknowledge it. Unable to communicate effectively, I had to opt for a much smaller car. Very unsatisfied with the service.
