There were unexpected charges during the rental. As we had just arrived in the USA, we hadn't activated our phone service yet. By the time we contacted the rental platform, it was past the one-day communication window due to the time difference. About a month after returning the car, additional unexplained charges of around a thousand dollars appeared.

Terrible attitude

Terrible service from Dollar. After waiting in line to reach the counter, the man initially greeted us with a smile but then spent about three minutes adjusting his watch before asking for our rental documents. He claimed we hadn't purchased any of the insurance options, even though I bought all the insurances on Zuzuche. I checked my order and confirmed we had them. When I called Zuzuche customer service, they confirmed I had purchased all the insurances. The man then tried to up-sell us a larger car for an extra $10 per day, which we declined. He insisted we prepay $67 for refueling, saying we should return the car with an empty tank, even though a full tank of gas for the Nissan we rented costs only $27. He then asked for a $75 deposit and demanded my signature, saying I could talk to the manager afterward because many people were waiting in line behind us. With no other option, I signed and spoke to the manager, who was the first person I saw. The manager promised to refund the deposit. When returning the car 15 hours earlier than planned, I asked the manager if I could get a refund for the unused time, but was told it was not possible. I had read online reviews about Dollar's poor service and aggressive charges, but experiencing it firsthand was worse than I imagined. I will never rent from Dollar again.

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.

The service was very good. Staff are frinedly and helpful. Price is reasonable. Unfortunately, I picked up a car that might need attention on its underchasis. There's noise that you can hear. Perhaps the ball joints? Aside for that, everytjing is great.

I love the app and the service. So easy to use and it kept its promise!
