CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON DOLLAR IN BOSTON

No upselling. If you declare you don't want insurance, they cancel it accordingly.

When I checked car rentals in Boston for July 2022, Thrifty was at the same counter as Hertz. Hertz, Dollar, and Thrifty are operated by the same company at Boston Airport. Despite the different brand names at the counters, the pickup and drop-off locations are the same, and the staff are the same, wearing Hertz uniforms. The staff were very friendly. Make a joke or chat with them when picking up the car to build rapport. The waiting time depends; if many people on the same shuttle bus arrive, there might be a queue, but it wasn’t too bad. When I arrived, only Dollar had many customers picking up cars, while others had few. I asked a staff member named Martin why Dollar had more customers and was told it’s because they are cheaper. After comparing several companies, I found Dollar was the cheapest for the same car category. Renting through Hertz’s website ends up costing much more for the same car and location.

Very satisfied

Last car for rent at moment if pick up, not at optimal condition due to several minor scratch and visible the front suffer damaged. Excellent customer service by dollars personel at Logan airport.

The car was wonderful, last year I also booked here

Very satisfied

This was a difficult pickup as there was a credit card issue and there was no other option to exchange the card without cancelling and rebooking. Eventually resolved after over 1 hour. Car was acceptable but options on tolls not clearly explained.

No problems

Bad service

All good

Very satisfied, the flight arrived very late, so there was no queue.

Overall satisfied. I added an E-ZPass, and the billing was clear.

Not bad, no need to worry, just communicate properly. Acceleration pass service fee is $14.99 per day based on the number of rental days, regardless of whether you use toll roads or not. This can add up. They added insurance when I picked up the car, but after communication, we cancelled the unnecessary coverage. I mistook a 4 for a 9 in the parking spot number and took the wrong car. The staff at the exit noticed and had me wait while they brought the correct car. They were quite nice, thanks.

staff at check-in counter at BOS is crazy and keep selling insurances, till i double buy the roadside assistance. crazy!

There was a bit of a queue at the counter, but they had four counters open. The guy who helped me was very nice, didn't try to upsell, and explained everything clearly. Just had to wait a bit long for the vehicle, about 20 minutes.

Overall satisfied with the service.

The rental office changed the car for me and added a lot of extra charges.

Overall, it was pretty good. However, when picking up the car, they recommended a device similar to ETC and a service where you don't have to return the car with a full tank. For the convenience of paying tolls and not having to refuel, I accepted the offer and paid $107.

The car rental company is probably smaller with fewer car models, but the car was very new, only around 6000 kilometers. The shop informed me that I would be using the highway and charged me $15 for it. A big plus is that they refunded my deposit within a week after I returned the car, which made me very happy.

I initially didn't notice it was an electric vehicle until I reached the counter. Since they required the car to be fully charged upon return and I feared I wouldn't have time to charge it then, I switched to a gasoline car, which cost an additional $45 per day. The rental company was not well-prepared; there were no cars available in the lot, and we had to wait for over an hour for cars to be delivered.

The service process was very organized. There was hardly any queue. The rental company recommended the EZPass in-state toll package, but it turned out to be unnecessary. We didn't travel that much, and part of it was out-of-state tolls not covered by the package. If you don't choose this package, you might actually spend less.

When I came to pick up the car, there was no car available. Dollar couldn't say if or when we could get a car. Dollar did not offer any kind of help, and if we didn't have family living one your away from the airport that could come to pick us up, we wouldn't have any other choice than to stay in a hotel at our own expence. Dollar refused to send me a message when a car would come. The next day we got help to come back to the airport to get a car, and then we actually got one. However, Dollar refused to deduct 1 day from rent, and also charged 15 dollars for toll passings even though we didn't have any car the first day. I've never experienced worse service than that.
