Rented a 2026 Chrysler Pacifica from Dollar at Dulles Airport for about 3 weeks. Pickup and return process were fine, but hours after returning the car I received a damage claim for $650 ($500 repair deposit + $150 fees) based on an automated UVeye scan, for damage I dispute. Since then I have received repeated automated collection text messages pressuring immediate payment to 'avoid incremental collection costs.' I filed a formal dispute with Dollar Customer Care (case 36398481) and an Amex rental car damage insurance claim. A rental company should not use automated scans and pressure texts to collect disputed charges.Reviewed 9 Oct 2026

They did not have a vechicle. Only talk to two ladies at a Hertz location on the phone. One tried, one did not care. I am done with Dollar and Hertz, unless I am really in a pinch.Reviewed 9 Oct 2026

Our flight was late getting into Seattle, but Dollar had texted me earlier and let me know that they would hold the car for 8 hours. This was reassuring and I didn't need to try to contact Dollar. When we arrived the car was ready and we were on our way. Smooth process is always appreciated. Thanks.Reviewed 7 Oct 2026

Overall, the vehicle itself I was happy with. The only issue is that the rental cost of approximately $62 per day in my opinion was too excessive..Reviewed 3 Oct 2026
