I should get a regular SUV and drive from SFO to PHX, but they said that I've booked an electric SUV, I said it is not possible. I'm sure they lied to me because they didn't have a regular SUV. Therefore I rented an SUV in Alamo but paid in 2 times higher.

The 2.5 hour wait to obtain the car, plus the dollar "system" being incorrect and resulting in the wrong size, is inexcusable!! Another significant delay/wait upon returning the car will absolutely convince me to never rent from Dollar again.

They would not honor my reservation because I booked same day and they ran out of cars. They were overbooked, and said my reservation was too new, snd that they could only give me a car in three hours. I had a wedding to attend that afternoon!! They left me stranded because I used Kayak to book the car!
