Western US

The lady at the rental car company was very friendly, chatting about everything. Although she worked slowly, I was very satisfied. I reserved a Ford Edge (5-seater), but got a Mazda CX-9 (7-seater) instead, which was great. Returning the car was also very quick, took just 3 minutes.

We went to pick up the car at noon, and the receptionist spoke Chinese. She told us that the car we booked was not available and that there were only two Korean cars left in the same class, which were of lower quality. She suggested that we upgrade to a new 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE350 by paying an extra $25. It was quite frustrating, but we had no choice. We ended up paying an additional $175 for 7 days. It felt somewhat like a scam because it’s unlikely you'll get the car you actually booked.

Pickup and drop-off were very convenient

Although people abroad might not care about car brands as much as Chinese do, we were joyful to book a Ford Edge, only to be informed upon arrival that we were given a Mitsubishi instead. After some negotiation, we finally got a Dodge, which somewhat impacted the overall experience. I think if we can select a Ford Edge during booking, why can't they reserve it in advance? If it's already booked, we should be notified ahead so we can choose something else. We booked in advance, but due to the car rental company's fault, we didn't get the planned vehicle. They didn't provide us with a car of equal value, but one that was much cheaper, which was really unsatisfactory.

After all, it's a big company. Although Doller's prices are a bit high, their vehicles are new and in excellent condition. Our rented car surprisingly accommodated eight large suitcases and several small ones.
