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

When I arrived they couldn’t find my confirmation number and had zero cars to rent so I had to go to another rental place and had to pay $600 for what they had! It was an expense I wasn’t prepared for to say the least. And the people at the enterprise counter were very rude and not helpful at all. I’ll never go through enterprise ever again.

Everyone I spoke to, either in person or on the phone, was incredibly friendly and helpful. Pick up and drop off were easy and very safe.

I should have checked to see if you offer pick up for folks renting. I am still unsure. That would be the only thing that would have made my experience better.

The staff were very friendly and more than happy to work with you. Being from out of state there were some difficulties but they were instrumental in making them easy to deal and smooth.

When I was looking through the car there were fries and pringles under the seat. I do think a little more transparency about fees and processes would have been nice, however, the fault is on both sides as I did not explicitly say I was from out of state when they called to confirm.

Staff was friendly.

A bait and switch was pulled on me, and I was very upset. I put in my search that I was looking for a car to pick up at SEATAC. Without me realizing it, the site switched to the downtown Seattle location for pickup (which I didn't realize since I don't know the address on either location). I went to SEATAC to get the car and was told I had to go downtown to get it. I had to call my son to pick me up and take me to downtown Seattle to get the car. I had requested a compact car, and by the time I got to Seattle, they told me the only car available was a Toyota 4Runner. This was a big problem since I have a leg problem that caused me great pain getting into the 4Runner. The customer service guy told me I could change it out when a sedan came in, but two days later I was told that all they have is SUV's because of the winter weather. I was finally able to drive back down to Seattle on Tuesday and trade for a RAV4 since it had a much lower profile and was easier to get in and out of with my sore leg. The customer service guy was extremely nice and set it up so that I could turn the car in at SEATAC when the rental was over. So overall, I had to get my son to take me to the Seattle location, and then I had to drive back down to get a smaller car since I was stuck with a huge 4Runner when I had requested a compact car. This was definitely not my best car rental experience!

I rented a mid-size (Corolla) and was disappointed when I got to the front desk that that equated to a Kia (compact in my opinion). Long story short, for $10/day, they upgraded me to a suv (more room and surprisingly 7 seats!). This worked out very well as I was able to shuttle the volleyball team/parents in and around Spokane. In the end, it worked out great and I'm satisfied. What could have been better? Clearer signs for CAR RENTAL returns coming into the airport. Was "lost" and finally decided to go close to where I rented the car (and not the long term parking area) and that's where I again picked up/saw the Returns line. Very confusing if not from the area!!!

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.

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.

I booked this car rental for pick up at the SeaTac airport. Once I arrived, there was no rental waiting for me even though I prepaid for it. Turns out, this website booked it for the hertz in NORTHERN SEATTLE. And since my flight was delayed, I had a half an hour to get to northern seattle to pick up the car I paid for before they closed. Not to mention I had my 4 kids and husband with me. We were then stuck between a rock and a hard place, so we had to rent another car. Once trying to get a refund because of the mess up, I was told since it was after the scheduled pickup I couldn’t cancel or get my money back. We will NEVER use this website ever again. Especially for car rentals. $1000 f up.

The reservation was made for the airport location. When we got there the location was changed to the other side of town. They wanted $680 cancelation fee. They finally wave the fee and reboot at the airport location for $250 more, But not the car that I wanted. I rent cars multiple times a year this had to be the worst experience. There were also other people had the same thing happened to them
