Dollar is absolutely awful. When picking up the car, I specifically told the clerk that I didn't need extra insurance. They verbally agreed, but still added over 200 dollars for insurance. I was in a rush to get to the hotel and trusted them, didn't check the paperwork and just signed it. My fault. I returned the car with a full tank and left the country, but over a month later, they charged my credit card without any notice. This is the worst company I've ever dealt with.

Easy car rental, good service

It felt like the agents in Los Angeles were particularly aggressive in upselling insurance to improve their performance. Regardless of your understanding, they would pitch it to you. There was even one instance at the Los Angeles airport branch where an agent falsely claimed that insurance was legally required when we specifically asked about it. However, when we returned the car and spoke to the manager, they resolved the issue efficiently, and we were refunded the full amount including taxes on the spot.

We arrived fairly late, around 9:30 PM, but the process was quick, and we got the car without any hassle. Returning the car was even more convenient: we refueled at a nearby gas station and dropped the car off at the return point, leaving the key on the front dashboard.

Car was perfect & a good choice. Dollar staff didn’t offer the option to return the car back with a full tank of gas. They wanted to charge us nearly $80 for the gas. I tried to contact dollar customer services when I found out about this option but with no joy. The lady I returned the car too allowed us to fill the car up with petrol & she removed the fee they wanted.

Loved the price drop option I just wish I could have pre-paid for the car in the uk before our trip
