The biggest issue was a noise coming from the back of the vehicle when driving over 60 m/ hr. I contacted Dollar, but unfortunately, there were no locations anywhere near where I was. it was bothersome because I was hoping that the car wouldn’t break down in the middle of nowhere.Reviewed 24 July 2024

Dollar double charged me for vehicle coverage without refund. Will never rent again with Dollar and will promote others to do the same.Reviewed 7 June 2024

As an infrequent user, it would have been nice for someone to escort us to the vehicle and explain its features/ operation. How to locat e the vehicle wasn't clear then We had to drive straight into the Chicago rush hour traffic not knowing about the modern safety features and wondering what various warnings meantReviewed 3 June 2024

My main issue was that when I was doing my search for a car I said I was picking it up and midnight and it let me pick this one, but the location was closed from 10pm to 7am, so I had to take an Uber to my hotel and come back in the morning for the car. I could have double checked the hours, but I assumed that since I entered the time it would have given me a heads up.Reviewed 4 Jan 2024
