    4 Stars Sound as a Pound, err, I mean, Dollar! Review with images 26/02/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Friendly staff, lots of locations, good selection of cars, accept younger drivers

    Disadvantages Disadvantages pricey for younger drivers, no inspection of car prior to rental...not always a bad thing...

    After a last minute visit to friends in the US was arranged, it was quickly decided that I would need some form of transport when I got there, as the US is rather big! So I jumped on Google and started checking out car rental companies. Those of you that have found yourselves in a similar situation will be aware that there are rather a lot of rental companies out there, fortunately I was spared the agony of deciding between Thrifty, Alamo, Hertz, Avis et al by one deciding factor…. My age! Very few car rental companies in the US will rent to anyone under the age of 25, and only one of these ... more

    5 Stars Save some dollars by using Dollar Car Rental 14/12/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages cheaper then alot of its competitors

    Disadvantages Disadvantages nothing to report

    I have used Dollar Car Rental twice now and have had absolutely no problems whatsoever. The first time was back in 2000. We were heading to the States to do a road trip and I was looking for a three week rental that wasn’t going to charge the earth. On all my searches, Dollar came up consistently cheaper than the other nationwide companies. Sure there were heaps of cheaper options but I wanted to steer clear of the mum and pop type deals so only concentrated on nationwide companies. I booked an economy car, unlimited miles over the net using the Dollar website and while there, noted a coupon ... more

    4 Stars Dollar....Very helpful 13/07/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Dollar offer a personal service

    Disadvantages Disadvantages all the extras you have to pay for...but its Universal

    I have to say that when in Florida I have always used Dollar Car Rentals, usually opting for the Airport Pick up and Drop off...We've used them at Tampa, Orlando and Kissimee.. Everyone hates paying those extras, and that ' including free car hire' that we keep getting thrown down our necks everytime we pick up a Florida Brochure is very misleading until you've read the small and smaller print.. On average a Family of say four people will pay around £400 for a two week car hire on top of their holiday price, and that is for an intermediate sized car or midsize, don't forget in the USA they may ... more

    1 Star cowboys are not only in Texas 10/04/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages helpful staff.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages dangerous

    Last week a colleague and I were sent to Boston on business and my company arranged for us to collect a rental car at the airport. They chose to use Dollar, a company I'd never heard of before. Things started well, the courtesy shuttle bus was easy to find, they helped us on with our luggage, and dropped us at the office. There we received the all American, over the top, polite and friendly greeting, and proceded to state our business. They immediately located the booking, and printed out the rental agreement for me to sign. No problems so far, up to this point I was impressed with the ... more

    4 Stars Dollar Car Rental L.A. 04/07/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good transfers from the airport and quick service

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No-one checks the state of the vehicle before you take it

    Having recently been on my first fly-drive holiday to the U.S.A. I was interested to see what quality of vacation I would have driving around America instead of flying. I had been told by people that it was a better way to see the country. We found the cheapest way to hire a car was through our tour operator, Virgin Atlantic. We were steered towards Dollar Car Rental, (pardon the pun). We arrived at L.A. Airport and only waited a few minutes for the bus to arrive which would transport us the the pick up point. There were quite a few of us waiting but the driver was helpful to everyone with ... more
