Arrived Seattle on a Saturday mid-morning and took shuttle to car rental. No one in line at Dollar, showed reservation and had keys in hand within 5 minutes. Requested a compact and was assigned a new Prius. Car was clean and everyone on the Dollar team very professional. Similar experience returning the car mid-afternoon on Monday - easy drop off and onto the shuttle to airport. Would rent from Dollar again! Dan

Staff was nice.

The cars weren’t spotless, but that wasn’t a problem for me. We did get have to exchange cars due to a tire issue. We called ahead and discussed it with E-Z Rent-a-Car. They said they made a note on our profile and there would be no problem coming back and exchanging the car. When we got there, they didn’t seem to know what we were talking about and we spend a little longer than necessary due to some confusion about the exchange. Worked out in the end.

Easy drop off

Car smelled terribly of smoke, super long wait at pickup while the only staff st the desk was chatting with the only customer in front of me, stating “I’m taking my time to see if a car comes in for you”. I had already reserved and paid online, to “save time” the website said.

They did not have my car available for me when I arrived to pick it up. That is the first time that has ever happened to me in 30 plus years of renting cars. They clearly did not want to upgrade me to a larger vehicle. Eventually my car became available.

The full price was NOT clear. I did upgrade the car, but it was the fees not the charge per day which almost doubled my total charges. Even if I had stayed with the original car the price would not have been what I expected. Shame on all of you!! Figure out a way to be more transparent

I was given a vehicle with a short-range spare tire on the front. This was a front wheel drive vehicle that I had to drive 120 miles in. This tire isn’t supposed to do over 50mph and it isn’t supposed to be used for more than 30 miles. This was extremely negligent and I will be filing a formal complaint.

My only annoyance was a "change oil required" message on the dashboard. As it turned out the car had been recently serviced but the computer not reset. Unfortunately, we couldn't find this out over the phone so had to waste half a day of our holiday going to the nearest Budget location. Otherwise, we were very happy with the car. Message to Budget: make sure the car's computer is reset after servicing!

Everything went smoothly, the car was what we asked for and in good condition. Returning the car was super easy with very clear instructions. Picking up the car was also fine but the person ringing us up tried very very hard to upsell. I work in sales so I get it but it was almost uncomfortable. Not a huge deal, just prepare to say no a lot if you aren’t looking to upgrade your rental.

I wait 30 minutes in line to get to the Avis counter to pick up my rental; that I had booked online and performed my pre-pickup registration to allegedly make the process easier. Then it is 10 minutes at the counter. My card is in the machine and the worker is down the way calling the garage for my car. Then she returns (after another 5 minutes) with the manager to tell me there are no cars for my destsination, and that allegedly, there haven't been any for 24 hours. And that the online system should not have allowed me to make a reservation. Maybe true, maybe not. Because while I was waiting on the salesperson to call the garage the salesperson to my left is selling a rental (one-way to the same location that I'm headed) but at 1.5x the price that I booked online. So, you tell me. I don't know if they guys next to me got a car or not because I was rushing to the next car rental locations but since it was 1 AM, they were all shutdown. Avis wasted my time, screwed up my plans, and made it almost impossible to find an alternate plan, resulting in me having to get a hotel room.

Reservation was for a convertible (a special occasion splurge for us). None was available on arrival. Despite our reservation even having a picture of a convertible, they tried to charge us the same rate for a non convertible saying it was a similar car. Lynn at the counter did not even try to be helpful about the situation; simply talked over me repeatedly insisting they were providing the car we reserved.

Very quick and easy drop off place. Then got a quick ride to the terminal.

It was hard to find the drop off site by GPS so we had to rely on signs alone. Upon exiting, the road split and it didn't tell us which one to take so we had to ask for directions. Other than that, it was fine.

Don’t call me 3 hours before pick up to tell me you can’t honor the rental. Also hold Economy accountable for having a valid contact phone number. Phone number on confirm is for Zeeba and the other is for an agency in Florida. I live in Kent WA.

I really enjoyed the spaciousness of this Ford Transit 13 passenger van

The pickup address was incorrect. The van had a transmission issue and it was a very loud ride in this vehicle. I had no drop off instructions.
