Absolutely loved the vehicle that was selected for us. Choosing the mystery vehicle was perfect for us so we didn’t have to get a second rental. We had lots of space for all our luggage and were all very comfortable during our travels. Just wasn’t happy with a charge per day for each additional driver, was about 30% of our daily rental cost extra to do so.
When the service staff could not sell me any insurance (because I had already bought on easyrentcars), he became impatient, and kept wanting me to sign the papers - when there were many dents/scratches that were not labelled on the contract. Thankfully the car was in good condition and the trip went without any hitch.
“Dirty car. 66,000 miles. unbelievable beat up car. 3 dents from accidents. Severe scratches all over”
About Dollar:6.3/10
Car was high mileage, 66,000 miles. Beat up field car. Piece of junk. Hard to believe how bad it was. Looked like it had been in 3 accidents (not repaired). Hundreds of scratches all over, not just a few. Chip in windshield they wanted to charge us for. Luckily my son had noted it on initial inspection sheet. The car was filthy. Dollar hosed it off for us. That did nothing. Do not rent from Dollar. !!!!!
It took over an hour to pick up a new rental at the return point. The front desk was slow and inefficient in dealing with issues. Eventually, I got a Hyundai Venue, which was a downgrade. After spending more than an hour at the front desk, I didn't have the energy to argue further on the spot.
After the rental period ended, I filed a complaint through the app. However, the rental company denied the downgrade. This is clearly a lie. In terms of vehicle positioning, length, space, and power, the Venue is a subcompact SUV. It cannot be compared to compact SUVs like the Jeep Compass, RAV4, or CRV. You can easily verify the Vehicle's category. The user experience clearly shows the difference.
I rented a mid-sized sedan (Camry) from the same company using another app and was given an Elantra, again a downgrade. It seems that DOLLAR frequently downgrades vehicles.
Some people might overlook a few days of downgrades, but I cannot. The description clearly stated a five-seater, with a trunk that can fit three 24-inch suitcases. I have used compact SUVs like the RAV4, and they meet this condition perfectly. However, the car I received couldn't even fit two 24-inch suitcases, and additional luggage had to be placed on the back seats. I didn't need to seat five people on this trip, but what if I had to? The car's performance was poor, with no acceleration beyond 100 km/h even with the pedal to the floor. It was infuriating to drive, and I decided to file a complaint immediately. Anyone who has driven a Venue would understand how bad it is.
Be cautious with DOLLAR. I have already filed a complaint with their headquarters via email. I am very disappointed with this rental company. If you encounter any problems, filing a complaint through the rental app is basically useless. Choose wisely, choose wisely.
The employee at the Dollar rent-a-car counter in Calgary airport tricked me into signing a paper of unwanted option with extra charge. The employee told me that I should sign it just in case that I returned the car with empty tank but the fees will not be charged if I return the car full tank.
