Los Angeles-Yosemite-San Francisco-Highway 1-Los Angeles

The car rental customer service was a middle-aged woman. She was initially very friendly, but her attitude changed immediately when she heard we didn't need additional insurance. She started speaking faster, and the overall experience was poor. The car itself was fine with no issues. When returning the car, we were charged an extra fee that we didn't understand, but it wasn’t much, so we didn’t bother to dispute it.

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.

Overall, it was quite good. The only downside might be the long wait in line.

There is a free shuttle bus right outside the airport that takes you directly to the rental company. The service is very considerate.

Car was perfect for my trip and good value too. An easy and pleasant rental experience.

Simple and straightforward process.
