Nissan Versa
2/27/25
Pros: Agent pick up in the airport
Cons: I could still appreciate more transparency about fees and add ons. But that's not a problem unique to Dollar rental
ML
Luxembourg
Suzuki Celerio
12/23/24
Pros: Fast
Cons: Dollar misled us by selling unnecessary insurance, despite us already having coverage through Discover. Our credit card limit couldn’t cover both the deposit and balance, and the deposit maxed out the card. They refused to refund the deposit and claimed the extra insurance would reduce it, though this could have been done without the insurance. The process was very disappointing.
PD
Belgium
Mitsubishi ASX
12/20/24
Pros: A replacement car (and a nice upgrade too: a potent BAIC 4x4 vehicle) was delivered to the hotel the same evening, without discussions
Cons: The orignally supplied car broke down into emergency mode after 20km
JH
United Kingdom
Mitsubishi ASX
12/18/24
Pros: Easy pick up
FP
Netherlands
Suzuki Jimny
11/28/24
Pros: The taxi service at the end
Cons: The intimidation to pay so much more and we signed for things that weren't even told us. We saw that later. Terrible!!!!
