Good

Service attitude was okay, but they will try to sell insurance.

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.

I rented two cars, but only one was available because the card of the owner of one car couldn't be processed. It seemed their card machine was too old. Dollar requested a change of the primary owner, but the rental company said it wasn't possible, so we had to get a cash refund.

An Indian lady assisted us. She was very friendly and suggested some insurance options. Once I mentioned I had already bought insurance in my home country, she didn't push further. We got a fuel service package, but since we didn't use much fuel, they didn't charge us for it when we returned the car. Very considerate.
