Made the reservation and arrived at the location only to be told there were no cars available. I was stranded. Not using Kayak ever again.

I rented a car online. I took a Lyft to the pick up. When I got there, the agent said there were NO CARS at that spot. They did not expect any cars for rent for several days! I called the national Dollar rental to complain. They wanted me to go an hour away to the nearest airport to get a different rental car. At this point, I was beyond irritated. And a Lyft that far would have cost so much!!! I told them I wanted my $20 Lyft to and from my home reimbursed (since I would not have taken a Lyft if I knew no car was available). With all cars having trackers these days, there is no excuse for allowing people to rent a car from a location that has NO CARS available for rent!!! Do not rent from Dollar. I have yet to receive any reimbursements from them for my Lyft.

I waited nearly an hour in a line for pick up. The car was excellent, price about average or a little better, drop off was a breeze. But that line for the pick was a bear.

Decent car, counter in the airport. Clerk was a little pushy on pre-pay fuel and CDW but we walked away without any extras.

I was very disappointed with the customer service I received at this car rental location. The desk attendant was rude and unprofessional from the moment we arrived. When handing over the rental keys, he practically threw them onto the counter rather than providing them courteously. Throughout the transaction, the employee repeatedly made groaning and irritated noises, making us feel like we were inconveniencing him. He also applied excessive pressure to purchase the additional insurance coverage. Even after we clearly declined, they continued with comments such as, “This is your last chance to get it,” “Are you really not going to get it?” and “Did you even read over it?” The most inappropriate comment was, “Don’t come back crying if something happens to the car. It’s going to cost you even more.” This felt more like a scare tactic than customer service. I understand employees are required to offer optional products, but there is a difference between informing customers and pressuring them. The entire interaction left us feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. I hope management addresses these issues and provides additional customer service training. When we finally picked up the car it was so dirty from the outside. Bugs everywhere. We couldn’t even see clearly out the windows. The mirrors were dirty as well. We could have gone and said something but we did not want to deal with the desk attendant again and there was no one at the car lot to be seen so we could have mentioned something. We drove out of there and took the car to the car wash

I booked a VW Polo, I was handed the keys to a Fiat Panda. Chap behind desk advised ‘they’re in the same class from our point of view’. Really?! That’s a bit of a stretch….in the wrong direction.
