I had to cancel. I needed to rent a car so I could get my daughter to a safe place. It would have been the most economical way. But unfortunately you cannot rent a car without showing your credit card in person. Who knew. I can buy plane, train and bus tickets but I cannot rent a car. So I had to cancel.

Full economy, quick service for both pick-up and drop-off, quiet car. The car had a high-frequency vibration at highway speeds. All tires need to be spin-balanced and alignment checked. Directions for the drop-off point were misleading, with contradicting paperwork giving a street address in one place and terminal in another. Enterprise was in a different location than most of the other agencies (poor signage didn't help).

It was fine. Enterprise was the car rental of Travelers Insurance. We did not have a choice. It turned out to be fine. Pickup and Dropoff went very smoothly. The SUV was basic, but drove easily. No problems.

Best value car rental option at IAD so I didn't expect much. Instead the staff was very helpful.

Thirfty did not have any cars available when I arrived. They were going to give me a Camaro but I honestly don't know how people drive those things. Having my wife and toddler with me just made it a hard no. After some haggling I was given a Ford SUV which was fine.

Nearly missed my flight due to waiting for more then an hour and a half for the curtesy bus not picking up waiting customers at the car return. Only one person working and didn't know how to contact the driver who was sitting at the terminal waiting for a call to let him know there were passengers needing to picked up. Some people called for Ubers. When the drive did show up he said he came back thinking something was wrong since he didn't hear from them. There is no reason this should have gone a poorly as it did. I won't be using this location again. That means Thrifty, Dollar and Hertz are out for me. Thanks for narrowing down my choices for this location which I will be traveling too once a month.

Very happy with the price for a van. We were helping someone move and the agent put the seats down for us in a Chevy Pacifica. That made it perfect for stowing all her stuff. The van was easy to drive and used very little gas. The agent was friendly.

Ease of picking up the car was nice but I did not like how it was not explained to me during pickup about gas, allowed mileage etc. I also found the car to be overpriced for what it was. It wasn’t a bad or good experience, just “okay” overall.

When I picked up the vehicle, it was so dusty/dirty on the outside that I couldn't safely see out the front window. The inside had tags everywhere from the last renters clothes shopping experience and strawberries which were molded and truly disgusting. I rented flor a week and throughout the week found clothes tags in every nook and cranny. Also the rear back right seat would not fold down which I didn't find out till I was hours away from the rental agency which made the trip significantly more difficult to negotiate luggage packing. The overall experience was great, the cleanliness of the vehicle is <1 star.

The door off person was very rude. There was not clear signage for where to park the car (no signage at all), but she was getting aggravated with everyone for where they were parking. The only words she said when she walked by was "leave the keys in the car."

The rental car was absolutely disgusting inside when I picked it up. There was a plug in the tire that eventually leaked and left me stranded on the side of the road for a short while. The windshield washer fluid broke and we could not clean the windshield during a snow storm so the salt got all over the windshield and we could barely see. Worst rental cars experience I've ever had by far.

AWFUL customer service. We arrived five minutes after they closed due to being stuck on the runway for an hour… I called from the runway to let them know we were coming and they’re only answer was that I could book a new booking for tomorrow, but there is nothing that they could do to call down and ask them to stay five extra minutes tonight… I had two young children with me so I could not just get an Uber and basically their attitude was that’s too bad you can just be stuck in the airport. AWFUL.

I’m going to focus on the negatives. The biggest two negatives were: (1) it took over three hours before my rental car was ready; and (2) the electric car’s batter would not charge beyond 43%. When I made the booking and when I was checking in to pick up, it was clear that I was dropping the car off at the DCA airport, which is around 190 miles from the rental pick up. After being assured the distance of the car would be around 250 miles, I agreed to use the electric Chevy. However, because 43% charge only can go around 100 miles, I had to charge the car 3 times. Each charge time was about half an hour and charging ports aren’t that populous so it would take a fair amount of time to be able to even get to the port. Ultimately, what should have at most been a four hour excursion ended up being 8 hours.

I had a bad experience with this particular Dollar and to be honest if i had known it would that the rental would be from dollar I would of cancelled. But to my surprise I had the pleasure of being assisted by Veronica and Gabriel, from the start Veronica was pleasant and professional and she went above and beyond to make sure everything I needed for my rental was done and done with a smile. There was other people in the line waiting and giving up the spot just because they was assisted by her and was willing to spend more time there because they knew she would do a great job. I glanced over at the Hertz team and they all looked grumpy and unpleasant. All in all was a good experience.

I wasn’t able to retrieve my rental because it was paid though Affirm. They needed the credit card that was associated with the reservation. I couldn’t provide a card if it was paid through Affirm. So they wouldn’t let me get the rental and I was forced to cancel. I called customer service and the guy was talking about their terms and conditions. But had no answer when I asked why it’s not in the terms and conditions to accept a reservation through a payment plan company like Affirm knowing a credit card is needed upon pickup of reservation.
