Original Comment AS many others have vowed not to rent from Dollar Rental,If<br /> someone were to ask should they?? would tell them explicative, explicative no!!!!<br /> <br /> Standing at the kiosk waiting for a car - the gentleman before us had trouble trying to explain to the lady that he rented a mid-size. They were out of mid-size cars - so she was trying to convice him to take a Prius. Eco-friendly, but not mid-size. She wouldn't change the rate, if you don't like it....I don't know the outcome, but that should have told me to take my luggage and run. <br /> <br /> We get the car (Clean???) We overlooked wrappers for straws. We overlooked the empty bottle of air freshner in the middle glove compartment. We even kept going (we were late for a 5 hour drive)when we noticed the scent of cigarettes (please make sure no one smoked). I am allergic to cats and dogs. My eyes itch and run, my entire body begins to itch from my scalp to the soles of my feet. my breathing becomes affected. These are the symptoms that I have when exposed to pets. This is what happened when I got in the car, not even 5 minutes away. Why didn't I turn around - - It took over an hour to get the first car. My son was in a tournament, I was already going to be late at least an hour late. I couldn't disappoint. He's away at school, I was going to solier through, my sons expectations were high. <br /> <br /> I figured that when I arrived at my destination - there'd be a Dollar Rental and I could just change. No. I called and told them my problem. I was told that I could exchange the car, but I'd have drive to the LAX. at least 45 minutes to L.A. without traffic. Going to LAX, how easy would it be to get in and out? It Took over an hour to get in and out of Oakland - 1/3 the size of L.A. under estimated. Can someone drive a different car to us and take this one back? Can't do it - not allowed. I ended up buying allergy pills and Lysol spray. I saturated the car with the Lysol and left the windows open over night. It cut down on the problem a lot - but there was still a problem. I asked this same representative - what compensation?? None. Coporate office number?? I don't have it - you have to go through us. (and you don't have the number) I was also told to bring in a gas receipt within 10 miles of the rental place for personal fill-up. Check in person said she didn't need it. <br /> <br /> All in all - this is the worse place to rent a car. You'd do better borrowing an elephant from Ringling Bros.
