| - With so many bad reviews from Dollar Rental Car, I kinda feel fortunate that my experience while renting a car from Dollar was pretty much okay.
I basically booked a economy car on-line for $24.79 per day, and upon arriving in Las Vegas I was able to walk right up to the line & visit a customer service representative right away with no wait.
After doing the paperwork, and buying the (LDW - Loss Damage Waiver) for my rental, I was off to the parking lot to pick up my car.
As I headed off to the parking lot to pick up my rental car, a lot attendant told me I could pick any car from "Zone 5".
When I got to "Zone 5" there were only two (2) cars left in Zone 5, and guess what? Both cars were already taken, so I thought to myself.............they told me to go to Zone 5 to get a car...........what car????? Lol!
So I walked back to the Dollar parking lot booth to tell the lot attendant that there wasn't anymore cars. From there, the lot attendant tells me to go to "Zone 3" to get a car..........this worked out for me, as I actually got an upgraded car from Zone 3.
Everything else from there went smoothly for my rental car............on issues here.
Returning my rental car went smoothly too, as the processed me quickly, and all I had to do was just show the rental car clerk that I had purchased gas with a gas receipt when I returned my car.
Overall, it was just an okay experience.................if I had anything bad to say about Dollar Rental Car, I would say that they are kinda expensive!
Although I got a great rate on my rental car ($24.79 per day), with the insurance (LDW - at $80.64) they charged me, and I saw something they charged me on the bill called - "Premium Road Service" for an additional $8.99 per day (I don't remember asking for that).
You add in the various taxes you have to pay at the airport, my grand total ended up at $243.90 for just 3 days use of a rental car.
Not sure if that was a good deal, but on the bright side, I didn't have to wait very long in line to do the paperwork for my rental car, I got a car upgrade, & the car was basically brand new, and it was basically a no hassle rental experience.............that's Dollar for you!
