When I picked up the car a little orientation to the car would be nice so I would know all the features and most importantly where is the gas tank door opener 😳. 😂

The first car I received was infested with Ants. I didn't realize that until I was way down the road. I called and the allowed me to return it. No problem which was great. It did mess up up my schedule while I was there as I didn't account for returning a vehicle. The customer service was great.

Just needed a little more explanation on charges since I bought insurance through kayak and it seems like they charge me again. Also, it would be nice if the counter people are aware of the type of car that is in inventory. That is, know the features. I upgraded since I was told there is apple car play in the car so I can use the GPS. Apparently, there isn't.

The Jeep is not a very good car, compared to others. Sorry, but it is poorly designed. That said, it is comfortable and it works.

We received are scheduled pick up and hour late and they didn’t even have the vehicle we rental that was more fuel economical

First, the car was FILTHY when we picked it up. Goo and grime all of the backseat. NO one cleaned this car... even the outdoor car handles were beshmeared with goo/sticky handprints. The worst was we checked the oil on our road trip only to find out that the oil was so low in the car that it was not registering on the dipstick. COMPLETELY dangerous! We ended up having to buy oil so we did not destroy the car. Dollar did not do any basic checks on this car before they rented it to us and basically put my family in danger. Having sufficient oil is a mandatory so you don't end up on the side of the road somewhere. Very disappointed.

We got to the Dollar booth and there were no employees and 20 customers in line. The hertz people helped check us in when they didn’t have customers but it took an hour to get to the front of the line. Frustrating and not acceptable. Also I was charged $97 in taxes which I assumed were included with my total rental costs. The car was great and I didn’t have any trouble getting and dropping the car once I got through the line.

There was only one agent at check in who left for his at one point and one agent from the next agency counter had to take over . Longest line and slowest moving line was Dollar . On the plus side , the drop off was greatest ever .

I’d like to thank a gentleman with glasses and a combover in the San Jose airport location. Very professional, very helpful and respectful. Thanks to him I’ll continue to keep back to fox for my car rentals.

The price is not the price. After insurance and tax and “other required fees” the price was nearly doubled. It would be a better value to go with a higher end car rental. You can see the service would be classier, the car cleaner, and the experience more transparent. This felt like they were taking advantage of the customer.

We rented for a month an SUV in order to go from CA to FL. The internal electrical stopped working on our way there. When I called to alert the problem in California, they told me to go to the nearest airport enterprise location in FL. Here, their first answer was that I should take it to a Firestone store to get it checked. I called the nearest Firestone and they told me they couldn't touch the car being so new and low milage; it was the dealership's problem. I called enterprise again and they told me to take it to the nearest dealership. At the dealership they told me that they can't service a car brought in by the customer. With enough frustration built, and the original San Jose office shinning by their absence, I demanded a simple swap of the car but they made me call 4 different enterprise locations in FL looking for an SUV replacement. An assistant manager in Daytona finally managed to put us in a minivan, but all of this took 20 calls and 3 days of painful dodging by their representatives. I will definitely be dodging their service in their future. Not recommend.

Friendly staff.

1. Someone picking up the phone (called two open locations, no answer, one said to leave a message). 2. Being given instructions for one-way drop off at airport at time of rental or at least posted in rental car drop off lot. I had to call Enterprise to find out what to do once I parked the car as there was no attendant (Medford, OR). 3. Receiving revised receipt. There "special" car was a huge, double-cab pick up truck. Basically, no trunk and this was an airport pick up. So, I upgraded to a Toyota Corolla. When I dropped off the car, I was told a receipt would automatically be emailed to me but I never received and had to contact customer report for a copy.

This was my first time renting a car, and besides the wait to pick up a car at the beginning, I had a very easy time as a first time car renter. Customer service was very nice at pickup and drop off and for the car I got, the price was very reasonable.

The wait time to get through this line was absurd given the limited number of people in line before me. In addition, certain fees were not disclosed at time of reservation resulting in charges higher than anticipated. Agent was also relentless on upselling optional services.
