I showed up 10 minutes early for my appointment and The lady who was working was arguing with another client about returning his car and it was very uncomfortable. They continued on for about 30 minutes before looking at me and telling me to go away because they have no cars. She then tried to explain to me that the rental car company doesn’t have enough cars and how it’s so hard for her and all she was doing was complaining about her job and how much stress it is to work there. I had to leave in the middle of the conversation cause she wouldn’t stop talking about how horrible her life was and the company she works for is I then left and went across the street and rented a car from enterprise with no issue for the same price.Reviewed 13 Mar 2025

Pros:The car was clean and the price was very fair. However, see below...Cons:I rented a certain class for not only the luxury comfort, but for the size. However, Dollar did not have the car I rented. They first tried to down grade me to a lower class, but larger car. I did not think this was fair so I did not agree. We went through the options and I explained, due to having two of my elder uncles with me and their need for a larger car, I needed something larger. Eventually a larger car was offered, but at a much higher rate. Again, I did not agree as a car in my category should have been available to me. Eventually I was offered another luxury vehicle (supposedly in the same class), but much smaller and the entire weekend we had difficulty getting my uncles in and out of it. Due to the inability to have a car ready for me in the class I rented I would have preferred the “upgrade” to an adequate car but the agent would not agree without additional payment to which I did not think was fair.Reviewed 26 Apr 2021

• What are some of the best spots in San Jose to get Dollar rental cars?

  One of the most convenient options that many travelers use is to pick up their car when they arrive by air at the Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport (SJC). The airport location is very close to the center of the city, so it is just as convenient for travelers not arriving by air as for those coming in on a flight. It is easy to find the Dollar location right across from Terminal B at the airport.
