Can’t Use Debit Card
Cons: I booked through Kayak and they took my debit card number and the reservation was made. When I got to Dollar rental they said I needed a credit card. I was never told during the booking process that I needed a credit card to make this reservation so I was extremely inconvenienced. Now I have to try to get a refund for the insurance I paid for.

Dependable, Clean Vehicle At A Good Price
Pros: We requested an intermediate SUV to drive from Iowa to California and back. Dollar gave us the Ford Escape. It was comfortable, handled really well, had good pickup, and many features you'd find in a more expensive car. Gas mileage was reasonable and the price Dollar charged me was more than fair.
Cons: I had to get an oil change once I reached California. However, Dollar reimbursed me for my cost when I returned. Dollar also said that any Hertz or Dollar outlet will handle that type of maintenance when needed on the road.

Quick pickup/dropoff
Pros: Friendly staff
Cons: The car wasn't that clean - ie bugs on the front grill and some small stains on the seat - and the keyless entry remote didn't work. I could have requested an exchange but decided not to. Instead we purchased a new battery hoping that was the issue, but it wasn't. When I returned the vehicle and notified the agent of the issue, she credited me for the cost of the battery which I appreciated.

Pros: The woman running the counter was very friendly and upbeat. We received a brand new car. Check in and out was fast.
Cons: Overall it was quite expensive. In order to make it cheaper I had to add an extra day onto my original plan.

Was ripped off
Pros: The vehicle I rented came with half tank of fuel however stated on the receipt full. I had it for 24 hours and drove a total of 48 miles. I topped it off 3 gallons upon return but was charged for a full tank a price of $9.99 per gallon. How can anybody burn 1/2 tank of fuel going 48 miles???????
Cons: The company and its shady employees.

Started out Good
Pros: The car was great and the customer service was very friendly. I booked on on-line and it was a good price for my trip from Des Monies to Kansas City with a quote of 57.00. My confirmation confirmed my booking
Cons: My customer agent did not check or verify when I told her I was dropping off in Kansas City.
