Dollar Car Rental
Dollar is a well-established car rental brand that operates under the global umbrella of Hertz, one of the most recognized names in the transportation industry. Founded in 1965 by Henry J. Caruso in Los Angeles, California, Dollar has grown into a major player in the rental market, offering reliable service to both leisure and business customers. With a strong emphasis on customer-first values, Dollar has built a reputation for delivering quality vehicles and straightforward booking experiences for a wide range of travel needs.

This includes affiliations with other brands such as Thrifty and Snappy Rent A Car. Today, Dollar operates over 640 locations across 53 countries, including around 260 offices in major U.S. airports and cities, with an additional 400+ locations in regions like Australia, Canada, the Caribbean, and Latin America.

When we arrived it was already past midnight and there was no one at the counter, so we had to go to another company’s desk to get everything sorted.

They added about $120 of extra insurance and told me the insurance company would reimburse me for it. Is that really how it works?

Super straightforward experience. The car only had about 10,000 km on it so it felt basically brand new, the driver-assist handled a lot of the driving, and it was a hybrid too.

Really good rental experience overall. The car was very new and fuel-efficient, with just over 5,000 km on it. Just make sure you pay close attention to the parking signs when returning it, otherwise it’s easy to end up in the wrong place.

Got exactly the model we wanted on Oahu, the car was pretty new, well equipped, and having CarPlay made it super easy to use phone navigation. The Dollar counter at Honolulu Airport had a normal line and the wait time was totally acceptable.

When I went to pick up the car I’d booked, the right rear tire was low on pressure, so Dollar immediately upgraded me to a better model. Definitely a five-star experience!!!

Rented a Subaru Outback and it was great for luggage — fit two 26" suitcases, one 24" suitcase and two backpacks with no problem. Fuel economy was solid too, under 7L/100km. After I returned the car, the rental company sent me a bill saying the tank was 8/8 at pickup but only 7/8 at drop-off and charged me $15. I emailed them with a photo of the dashboard at return, and they ended up refunding the $15.

Jiaya’s cars come with driver-assist features, so driving is a lot easier and less tiring.
