we rented a full size SUV for 4 adults and a 3 year old and it was very spacious and comfortable. The only problem we had was that the drivers side rear tire would not hold air. we had to hit a gas station virtually every day to keep the pressure close to where it was supposed to be.

Jose did the very best with what he had to work with. However, the car type we had PAID FOR IN ADVANCE was not held for us. Jose said we had a pickup time of noon but we did not show up until 5pm. So they assumed we were no show. Why didn’t they call? The only cars he had left were Camaros and Mustangs. I realize they are premium cars but we could not get our luggage in the Camaro. Using the mustang we had to put one suitcase in the back seat. The mustang was not easy to use for our vacation purposes.

The pick up window area was very crowded and there isn’t really any place to wait comfortably. Staff was nice, although pick up was slow. Overall it was a good experience and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

The car costed about 2x more than we originally intended because of the price of a child booster seat + fees + additional coverage that I wasn't sure I needed. It was appalling how much we spent for the car - would could have literally purchased a used car for the same price for a 9 day trip.

Ship to Rental shuttleThe agent was very helpful and easy to deal with. We had booked a full size car which was unavailable but were offered a substitute.which worked well for our 4 adult passengers.The airport facility was overwhelmed by the numbers of passengers arriving by cruise ship. The shuttle area at the port could not handle the arrival. We actually took a taxi to the airport because the shuttle would only take the one person renting.

I had to cancel this trip due to the Omicron wave, and due to Priceline's no-changes policies I had to pay the $400 rental fee even though I received no service of any kind. This inflexibility of the priceline-mediated rental reservation was an unpleasant surprise to me, especially given the lack of transparency that, though I was using a KAYAK interface to book a Dollar car, priceline was involved at all. The experience has soured me on any indirect booking (via Kayak especially).

Hilo Payless "High Five!"Easiest rental experience ever...so easy that I am horrified at all my previous airport rental experiences that are thought were "okay." Friendly service, fast paperwork, upgrade (very exciting) and we were off on our Hawaiian adventure in just a few minutes. Payless is curbside at the airport in Hilo, and after you walk right up to the attendant, we walked across the access road and there was our car waiting in the second row. Couldn't have been easier. I didn't get any "up sell" on insurance or coverage after firmly saying I wasn't interested. Easy drop off as well. In and out of the Payless booth in less than 5 minutes. Again, pleasant attendants and I will definitely use this company again!

Yes, and yes.The price of the rental could have been way better. The shock came with the added fees at the end of the rental...$91! It was already over $50 per day, and then I added a $10 per day upgrade to get a better car than a Spark. So that last chunk of money just added insult to injury.

The price was right but I don't think I got the car class that I reserved. I booked a Full-size, and was given a Hyundai Elantra which I believe is a Mid-size. The car was FILTHY! Dirty inside and outside, there were even what I think were cigarette burns in the seat cushion. There was only one person working the desk, and the line was long by the time I got my keys. We only needed the car for about 6 or 7 hours that day, so it did the job.

Drop off was super easy; the staff was super helpful and very sweet as she upgraded us to a bigger vehicle during our stay. Couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant interaction.This is not on the staff but ensuring there is a new battery in the key fob is important... there were a couple of times where I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to lock/unlock the vehicle at some of our destinations. Spent $5 to replace the battery and it worked just fine afterwards.

Agent asked me to read and write down the mileage. This appears to be their standard expectation which I am not accustomed to. To make matters worse, I had a hard time figuring out how to find that info on this car. For a rental that comes with unlimited mileage, this seems totally unnecessary.
