Car was not ready when we arrived waited well over 1.5 hours which didnt allow us to make the full journey to our destination, and had to stop at a holiday inn for the night. Conned into having a sat nav upgrade with wifi of which didnt work properly and charging cables provided did not work had to go out and buy USB cable, sat nav kept turning off therefore we ended up getting lost and going miles out of our way, on the return of the equipment we explained all of this and they told us to complain to Dollar of which we have but they not interested now they have the money. Certainly would not use dollar again or recommend them.

Solo había una persona atendiendo en el aeropuerto, la fila era enorme. Solo íbamos a usar el coche por 4 horas para ir a Manhattan y perdimos mas de una hora en fila. La señorita de muy mal humor y poco amable. Y al salir la persona de la caseta de salida estaba sentado en otro lado y tardó más de 15 min en llegar a darnos la salida por mas que tocábamos el claxon. Por culpa de dólar usamos menos el coche. Al llegar a devolver el proceso fue igual de lento. La gente de dólar del JFK no tenían ganas de trabajar

When we arrived there was some confusion with what we had already paid to what we were quoted and expected to pay on the Qeeq site. I think this could be a lot clearer during the booking process with Qeeq. Another annoyance was the size of the car we picked up. A Kia Soul is no where near the same size and a VW Passat. However when querying this I was told they were in the same car class. This should be a lot clearer during the booking process. If a car is going to be as small as a Kia Soul we needed to know so we could have booked a car to the size we needed. The biggest delay to our journey was that our child seat did not fit the car we were supplied. The Kia Soul has a built in head rest which obstructed the route for the rear anchor point to be connected. We needed to swap out the car so we could safely fit the car seat. Dollar staff were very helpful and swapped our car. However having to que again and explain the situation meant the whole process took over 90 minutes. As you can imagine adding this time onto an already length journey with a young child caused some distress. We feel there should be some safeguard that car seats fit the car supplied. A VW Passat would have accommodated this child car seat.

The service was mediocre. They didn't have the Nissan Altima mid-size car I reserved, and there was no free upgrade or any explanation. They just kept insisting that the Nissan Versa was the car I rented. Another friend who rented with me faced the same issue: he reserved a Ford Focus but was given a Hyundai Accent. It seems that not providing the reserved car model is very common with Dollar.

At the New York airport branch, a plus-sized African American staff member served us with an indifferent attitude and slow actions. Despite arriving on time to pick up the car, she told us it would take another two to three hours for it to be ready. As we were in a hurry, we asked for any available similar car. Only then did she provide a Toyota. This wouldn't have been a big issue, but she mentioned they were changing the policy from full-to-full fuel to full-to-empty. In our rush, we agreed, but the fuel tank was only at 90%. When we returned the car, we were charged over $90 for the fuel and taxes. It's unfair to expect a car to be returned with an empty tank.

The attitude was mediocre, and they tried to upsell me on additional costs. The main issue was that I booked a Chevrolet Suburban, but they gave me a much smaller Chevrolet Tahoe. When we raised our concerns, the DOLLAR staff said expressionlessly that they didn't have any Suburbans! It's frustrating to deal with such a situation.

Arrived at the store late at night, scheduled to pick up the car at midnight. The staff was changing shifts, and the black female employee taking over was very arrogant, with a difficult-to-understand accent. Even when I asked her to repeat herself, she didn't slow down, making it very frustrating. If I were in my home country, I would have yelled at her. I had reserved a Grand Cherokee but got a Dodge Journey instead. Although the car was new, its power was much worse than the Grand Cherokee. Dollar is playing word games, claiming 'Grand Cherokee or similar' when there isn't anything similar. I've rented from Dollar several times, never getting the specified model. Very disappointed with Dollar and won't use them again.

Landed in JFK at night, rented a car, and experienced aggressive insurance upselling. I had already told the staff that I bought full insurance on the app, but they still handed me several English documents and asked me to sign them. I had my child translate for me, and it turned out to be additional insurance. I refused to sign and reiterated that I had already purchased full insurance. The staff claimed they couldn't see my insurance purchase on their website. I called the car rental customer service for coordination. The customer service confirmed that the staff knew about my insurance. At this point, the staff became very rude, spoke extremely fast, and handed me a toll fee card for signing. The price was outrageous, with a 12-day rental costing $256. I asked if it was the rental fee, deposit, or a bundled fee, fearing a misunderstanding. The staff impatiently said it was the rental fee and asked me to sign. I called customer service again. After a long conversation between the customer service and the staff, and even with the headquarters, they advised me to give up the rental, citing unreasonable charges. Headquarters confirmed there was no such price. The back-and-forth took over an hour. I will never rent from this company again; it's terrible.
