It was a very slow pick up as there was a car assigned to us that was on a recall. So the very nice gentleman had to work hard to have the dispatcher lady find us a new car. Took over an hour. There is no seating in that area, so my wife, who is handicapped, had a very hard time with the long wait. The car was nice, return was easy except two email receipts makes me worried we were charged twice. We will be checking the cc bill today to make sure

Okay|Oct 2022

The employees said the websites kept booking cars that were not there, so we all waited for our cars, some people over an hour. I only rented mine for 8 hours, so losing an hour and being charged for 24 was not a good experience. Nor are the rates you're charging now. And when I said yes to the insurance online, I was auto-charged for two days rather than one.

Poor|Oct 2022

When I made the booking I was told I’d get a car. Well I then got a call that said that I wouldn’t get one till the afternoon instead of in the morning and I needed one for the morning specifically. I was told that I’d get a call later to update me on the status of a car and ended up not being called or updated and had to spend $200 on a Lyft to make my appointments. Ridiculous and poor service.

The Dollar rental agency said they were "out of cars" when I got to the desk (even through they were renting cars to others in front of me and to those after me when I left the desk). Therefore, they said that I had to pay approximately $200 more than the rental agreement was made for. This is because they HAD to UPGRADE me to a higher priced car. I said that they didn't need to charge me more because they were low on vehicles. They said that because I made the agreement through KAYAK that it was an issue that I had to address with KAYAK and that they would not honor the contracted agreement. I guess I am not going to be using KAYAK again. I ended up canceling the contract that I made through KAYAK when at the Dollar rental desk and walked over to the Hertz desk and got a different car for $20 more than the price I was contracted with through KAYAK at the Dollar agency and went on my way. It was a BIG waste of time using KAYAK.

I liked thay I was able to use my own car insurance when picking up the car and not bring forced to take Dollar's insurance. The lady at the counter tried to force me to purchase Dollar's insurance and was mad when I didn't. In addition, the vehicle was not cleaned good. There were ants coming out of the vents when the AC was turned on and we found a bug that looked like a tick in the vehicle. It was AWEFUL! What could be done better? A positive customer service attitude even if the customer doesn't purchase the company insurance offered, and better vehicle cleaning.

Everything was great except the person who checked me in. He was extremely rude without any reason, as if I were not a customer who paid for the car. He was loud and with a scolding tone when I handed him my driver license and debit card. My driver license is broken from the top, so he started playing with it with his hand causing it to get worst. When I calmly asked him to just take the information without tampering with it, he said good luck if they allow you out of the lot. When he took my debit card, he told me about the security deposit in a demanding way, as if I didn’t use it before or I didn’t know the process. I kept my calm in order not to complicate things, I asked my kids to go sit at the back benches so they don’t have to witness his disrespectful manners, and I walked away to the lot after he finished the transaction without commenting. I understand he probably had a rough day, and I hope this is not the case every day because it affects sales of the organization in the long run. Except him, everything else went smooth.
