Overall average, long waiting times.

Dollar is the worst rental company I've ever encountered. When picking up the car, I specifically told the attendant that I didn't need additional insurance. They verbally agreed, but still added over $200 in insurance. It was my fault for being in a rush to get to the hotel and trusting people I shouldn't have. I signed without reading the papers. Lesson learned. I returned the car with a full tank and went back to my country, but over a month later, they charged my credit card without any notification. This is the first time I've dealt with such a terrible company.

The process of picking up and returning the car was smooth.

A perfect car rental experience, the car's performance and condition were excellent. During this trip, we had two incidents, First, at the hotel in Monterey, we broke the rear car window while parking. We immediately contacted the rental office. Unlike other parts of the car, the window had to be fixed urgently to avoid hindering the trip. Much praise to the rental company for having a similar car sent over from San Francisco that night. They drove three hours and delivered it to us at 4 AM! Second, on the way from Big Sur to Bakersfield, we accidentally took a very dangerous mountain road. We drove for two hours along a winding cliffside road and were very worried about the car's condition. But the car performed splendidly even on such a challenging road, thanks to its powerful engine. We appreciate the rental company and have decided to continue renting a car for our trip to Los Angeles on the 15th.

Like: The car, a Ford Fusion Hybrid, was an excellent, well-designed and maintained piece of equipment. Great car. Rate did not match the reservation rate (it was higher, due to "taxes and fees", but was quickly corrected, once I showed the printout and e-mail, which did include taxes and fees.
Dislike: That the rate was higher than was what was contracted for. Fortunately, I had printouts and e-mails to prove it.
