Counter closed at 10pm. My flight landed at 10 and I got to the counter at 1030. The person at the counter left when I approached her. She was rude.Reviewed 21 Oct 2024

The biggest issue was a noise coming from the back of the vehicle when driving over 60 m/ hr. I contacted Dollar, but unfortunately, there were no locations anywhere near where I was. it was bothersome because I was hoping that the car wouldn’t break down in the middle of nowhere.Reviewed 24 Jul 2024

As an infrequent user, it would have been nice for someone to escort us to the vehicle and explain its features/ operation. How to locat e the vehicle wasn't clear then We had to drive straight into the Chicago rush hour traffic not knowing about the modern safety features and wondering what various warnings meantReviewed 3 Jun 2024

My main issue was that when I was doing my search for a car I said I was picking it up and midnight and it let me pick this one, but the location was closed from 10pm to 7am, so I had to take an Uber to my hotel and come back in the morning for the car. I could have double checked the hours, but I assumed that since I entered the time it would have given me a heads up.Reviewed 4 Jan 2024

Additional charges that I did not agree to were applied at collection. When I realised and tried to get help to correct the errors by phone, email and in person I was repeatedly lied to by different employees. My Dollar experience has been fradulent behaviour from their collection staff compounded by appalling customer service.Reviewed 25 Sept 2023

Upcharged to a wild degree for tolls and didn’t make it clear at all. As someone from out of town who is not used to Chicago toll roads, they made it almost impossible to avoid being charged way too much. Added on close to $100 to our bill for maybe $5 worth of tolls. Insane. The car also smelled a little like smoke and had a number of scratches and scuffs. The rental checkout and return area was a small, seedy kiosk inside the parking garage instead of at the desk with the other more well-known brands. I would not rent from this company again—despite the lower price, they’ll find a way to charge you extra anyway. At least they didn’t try to scam us out of any money for the scuffs and scratches that were already there, so that’s something.Reviewed 15 Jun 2023
