The "maintenance required" light was on from the time we rented until we brought it back. We were told that it just wasn't reset. Also, tire pressure light went on. Maybe could pay more attention to maintenance.

Your booking platform allowed me to make a reservation for 11:pm. This Payless location *closes* at 11:pm. Nothing in the booking nor confirmation process mentioned the closing time nor flagged it as a potential problem. When we showed up a couple minutes after 11, there was nobody at the Payless counter. There was, however, a sign directing Payless customers to get in the *very* long Avis line and identify ourselves as Payless customers when we got to the front. That seemed reasonable: Avis *owns* Payless. Getting through the Avis line took nearly one hour. When we got to the front, the person staffing the Avis desk told us the Payless computer system shut down at 11:pm and there was nothing she could do to get us our car. All other rental counters staffed at midnight had no cars available. We took a $135 taxi out of the airport, then caught a ride to another airport the next day to pick up a much more expensive car from another company owned by Avis -- Budget. I am quite angry that: 1. Your booking system allowed a nonrefundable car reservation at a time the company was unlikely to be able to actually issue a car. 2. Payless put up a sign that made us waste an hour of our time standing in line for nothing. 3. Payless's parent company actually made money off of this fiasco, because it forced us to get a more-expensive rental from another of its subsidiaries.

I ran it through Palos but yet there was no person available at the booth when I went to pick up the car. I had to go through Avis. Upon return of the car, I asked for a refund as I did not use the toll box that had been sold to me for 25.99- again, Avis people instead off a Payless person- The representative helping me along with agents on either side of him who did we’re helping other clients decided to participate in the conversation about how that was silly of me to want a refund and that I would end up paying more for any tolls that Were incurred. When it was all said and done, he would not reimburse me the 25.99. Don’t be fooled by the low price- customer service stinks!

Drop-off was great! Just gave the agent the key upon arrival in the lot and I was on my way. Pickup was a bit of an issue. Had to wait about 15 minutes since there was only one agent at the counter. Agent was friendly and efficient but the previous customer apparently had some complications. All else was fine.

We were scheduled to pick up our car at 11pm, due to lines at passport control we didn’t get to the rental counter until about 11:15. Budget closes at 11, so there was a sign on the door instructing us to go to Avis, where we found a huge line of people waiting and only one poor employee working. After waiting in line for about an hour and barely moving (with two exhausted young kids getting more squirrely by the minute), I got on my phone and made a new reservation through Hertz, which is right next door, open 24 hours and had no line, and was in my rental car within 15 minutes. Thanks Hertz!

I can safely say I will never attempt to rent from Dollar again. In the midst of our calamity with a cancelled flight and lost luggage at JFK International Airport after traveling 3000 miles, Dollar failed miserably by allowing us to schedule a car rental on line. After feeling the relief of that rental transaction we come to find out upon arriving at the Dollar rental desk that not only your folks didn’t have any one-way rentals but didn’t have any rentals for us at all. Talk about the left hand not talking to the right hand. Additionally, your customer service rep was condescending with no sympathy for our plight. The rental was placed through Hotwire.

Terrible experience. The car wasn’t ready when it was supposed to be. Their cleaners went home or something. Had to wait 2 hours for the car. Then they overcharged me on tax for the rental. Then they started the rental before I even took possession of the car. Then when I tried to return it there wasn’t anyone there and they added 2 hours into my rental even though they are the ones who didn’t have anyone out there to receive it.

They did not have our car available at the time we had scheduled and said it would be 3 hours or more and they couldn’t guarantee it. I had to rent from another vendor at the airport at an inflated day of price and still have not received a refund from dollar for the car they didn’t provide me.

Flew 10 hours Rome to JFK arrived at 1145 p.m. Was notified by txt that my next flight in the A.M. to JAX was canceled. So decided to drive to JAX the next day instead and rented a car at 0031 a.m. from Dollar which was confirmed online for a 0800 with pick up at JFK facility. Got there to Dollar and the agent said my reservation was no good so no car; and the reason was that the booking was made the same day. I mean come on. Really poor show Dollar: but the good news is Avis next door took me as a walk up. So, guess who I will use in the future. Promise not to bad mouth Dollar too much with my friends who travel.

The staff was very pleasant and professional. The rental experience was very smooth for me. The vehicle was clean and mechanically sound. Side Note: In the U.S. a valid DRIVER'S LICENSE is required. Please don't argue with the staff when proper documentation is not available. Learner's Permits are not permissible. International visitors will also need a passport that coincides with the country of licensing. What I didn't like.... The engineering of the vehicle. Comfort.....meh Steering.....tight/not sloppy/not smooth Switches......way too many. On the dash, Under the dash, On the console. Seat controls......too close together for small hands. Safety features......excellent The vehicle had a fuel economy feature that turns the engine off when stopped at a traffic light. It's very harsh re-engagement when you remove your foot from the brake. The steering wheel has a very sharp/harsh control ratio and lacks the smooth comfort control factor that most vehicles in the compact SUV class has. I've made a mental note to choose something different the next time I rent a vehicle from Alamo.

They didn't have a full size sedan for us (despite reservation) but "upgraded" to a Nissan Kick. Wasn't really an upgrade since the suspension was terrible and the seats weren't really comfortable either. Could feel every bump in the road. Needed a kidney belt to drive in that car. On the plus side the car got good mileage, though underpowered. Staff on both ends were very nice.

Picking up the car was a nightmare. We specifically asked for a Chevy Suburban due to the amount of luggage and people we had. We needed Captains chairs in 2nd row and the larger trunk space. The counter agent refused to give us one, despite me being an Avis member and pointing out the available one on the lot. When we went outside we met Dan who works the lot outside. He was AMAZING! I pointed out that there was a Suburban that was perfect, he checked it and quickly changed our car to that Suburban. When we tried to leave the lot, the agent inside had assigned that car to another COUPLE (just after us) (not the 6 people we had). We couldn't leave, and found Dan who went inside to sort out the issue. The agent was planning to give them the Suburban because they had requested a black car. Our friend Dan reminded the agent the our car was not black but green. He finalised the paperwork again from inside and finally we were able to leave. Without Dan the trip would have been much more difficult due to the layout of the Expedition. What I didn't understand is why a couple would get priority over us simply because they requested a specific colour when we had 6 people and needed a specific type of car. Thexagent at the counter was downright rude, but Dan SAVED THE DAY!!! GIVE THAT MAN A RAISE!
