- Sign up for the express program and you won't have to wait. I have been using dollar for a year and I see people inline everytime...crazy. The express program is free, car is ready waiting for you.
- Paul CooperNovember 7, 2013I know there's a few bad reviews for this place but as far as my experience goes for car drop offs it was very good. Left my car, handed over the keys, the guy scans a barcode... all done!
- Ken HalleniusSeptember 28, 2011Quick service, free (if unintentional) upgrade when I went to pick up a car - they didn't have any Economy class cars, so they gave me a KIA Soul for no charge. Super quick checkout and shuttle!
- Len OrrisAugust 30, 2017Although LAX is a mess quick counter service regardless of attempted insurance up sell. Allowed to pick any car Got vehicle with under 25 kms clocked. Return easy too with a nice friendly lady.
- Uncle PerryJanuary 19, 2013If you reserve an Economy class car, they may try to upsell you on a more expensive car. Often they have Compact (better) cars parked in the Economy section (same $)- b/c they run out of Economy cars.
- Joseph CJuly 29, 2014Just a little bit or Armor All to the interior after a wash before renting cars out to people would go a very long way... just a little wipe! Not asking for much... ...and some air freshener!
- Igor SaraivaSeptember 22, 2013ATTENTION: Come back early when returning your car. Their process is a mess and will take too long and you might lose your flight
- Thibault aaaaaApril 19, 2013Because there are more ppl complaining, here a good review: I previously rented bunch of cars in Orlando, FL with Dollar, I got no problem. Did the same in LAX in july 2012. No problem at all !
- karen liebsApril 15, 2013They tried to upsell us to a bigger car upon arrival, when they only had bigger cars available anyway. they tried to saddle us with a 10 year old Town Car. #nothanks
- Joseph CJuly 29, 2014Good Lord WTF is that smell? Isn't this a new building? Oh come on, they need more benches here! 12 seats & this cheap carpet for all the extra bodies lying around? What's wrong with this company?!?
- Christopher LeeSeptember 7, 2013Line here to get your car is insane! Get ready to stand and slowly shuffle your way to the counter. 30mins and 1/4 the way in.
- Hugo PickeringSeptember 2, 2013Fight to get to the front of the queue, otherwise join Dollar Express so that you can use the dedicated desk.
- Mike AbramsSeptember 7, 2011If you are a rewards member go to the umbrella and pass all the lines. Or go to special line inside. Wait is forever for regular folks.
- Dan JaklicJuly 1, 2013Refuel on your own before returning, their rate is an atrocious ~$9.50/gal. Make sure to bring a gas receipt as well proving you fueled up w/in 10mi.
- LaurenationSeptember 25, 2011Long lines, but an awesome experience after I had the car. Very flexible, let me keep the car,an extra day, no extra charge.
- Preyen MoodleySeptember 20, 2013Crazilculously long queue! Omg, I hope they have a new iPhone for me at the front or something!!
- Brandon HillDecember 31, 2011We had a great experience here. Get off the bus quickly though to get in line.
- Karen NguyenMarch 1, 2012Surprisingly painless. Car drop off was super fast. And the shuttle arrived 2 minutes after I gave then the keys.
- Dan KimOctober 26, 2013Average wait time is one hour, but it's usually longer. Probably the worst car rental company on the face of this earth. Their business model is simple: charge a bit lower, provide low service.
- Nathan KamMarch 12, 2012Do yourself a favor and sign up for Dollar Express Membership. The line at this location Is always loooooong. Expect to wait for at least 30 minutes to get to the agent.
- Gregg PrimmMay 31, 2014Wish I'd read the tips and reviews before renting here. Insane lines, slow service, few shuttles. Lousy way to start a holiday. Pay a few dollars more a day and rent from pretty much ANYONE else.
- Vinicius Porto de OliveiraSeptember 22, 2013Make sure you get here early when returning your car. Takes forever and people cut the line to take the bus abc to LAX.
- Robert GreenDecember 15, 2013Huge line for regular reservations. Dollar express line was only 1 person ahead of me!
- Rachel LinMay 30, 2014Shuttles are rare, 3 enterprise buses hv passed us by. Definitely a packed bus on the way to the airport.
- Deanah KimMay 6, 2011Beware. They have very few shuttles running. We saw every other rental car shuttles come by at least 3 times before the first Dollar shuttle at the airport.
- Stacy LuceJune 17, 2013DO NOT USE THIS CAR RENTAL! We waited 45 minutes for the shuttle and then two buses drove by us too full to pick us up. We had to take a $20.00 taxi ride to the pick up our cars.
- Kristine HachadourianAugust 19, 2012Be the last to get on the bus so you can get some fresh air during the ride. They only run a bus an hour it seems and it is always way packed.
- Better to have a dollar express membership.. avoid the lines and have your car ready when you arrive
- Great rates if you are not in a hurry. Limited but service at the airport. Expect to wait 10-30 minutes for the bus
- Dave SrJune 7, 2013Long lines waiting mire than 30 minutes for a reserved car. I'll pay extra next time and of to hertz or avis
- Barbara HutchersonSeptember 22, 2013Whatever you do, choose a different company at LAX. shuttle took forever to arrive and an hour and a half and counting in line
- Shannon VogelMarch 15, 2012Sign up for Dollar Express so you don't have to wait in line during busy times!
- John BillingsMarch 5, 2012No matter how many people they have working behind the counter, there's always a healthy wait.
- Danielle BMarch 26, 2012Over an hour wait to pick up car, which I had reserved. Bonus was the check engine light came on when I was over 100 miles away. Car had over 50000. I will rent elsewhere next.
- Dan KimNovember 4, 2013DON'T DO IT!!! The worst business on the face of this earth operates here in the form of "Dollar", which was named after how much this entire company might be worth.
- Steve WeissDecember 5, 2014Avoid Dollar at LAX at all costs! Waited for pickup at the curb for 45 minutes. Was pressured heavily to get extra insurance. And received a toll road "administration fee" for $30 when I got home.
- Mike NicholsMarch 31, 2013This place gets any slower I'm going to be in to yesterday! Seriously 3 agents checking people in and 3 standing and talking
- Shuttle and service was quick BUT the line to get out of the parking lot was terrible. Took almost 20 minutes since there was only one attendant and a line up of cars!
- Joanna SMarch 1, 2014Don't rent from here. Service is poor and had to wait way too long for the shuttle both from and to the airport. So many people were annoyed.
- UnkleRunkleSeptember 7, 2013I've never seen it take so long for the staff to check out cars. There are 30 people in line in front of me right now.
- susanne kornfeilAugust 14, 2013shuttle was quick, but VERY long lines!!!!!!!! had to wait 1:55h to get to counter!!!!!!
- Patricia EisenhardtDecember 11, 2013This company truly has some of the worst customer service I have ever encountered. Rude and inflexible to the point of absurdity. Strongly discourage renting from them!!
