Dollar rent a car california
If, for example, your hotel is along Century Bl (where many are), the distance from the hotel to Dollar's lot at 5630 Arbor Vitae Street will be a mile (1.6 km) or less. It depends on which hotel you're staying at. Of course, the convenient and more expensive thing is to go to LAX for your car rental. You should come out ahead moneywise that way, depending on where you stay and for how long you are here. Prime Time Shuttle and SuperShuttle are the two largest and best providers out of LAX. My advice to save on some money is to rent outside of LAX, and use a shared ride van ("shuttle van" in local parlance) to your hotel/destination of choice. I've always seen Dollar Rent a Car shuttles in the LAX airport loop, so they have a presence there, and have been around there for a long time. These firms have locations both inside LAX and outside of it. I would recommend Hertz or Avis (or even National) if you have not made a confirmed reservation. There are Dollar Rent a Car agencies outside LAX, to be sure. There are plenty of rental car agencies Stateside and in California, in Southern California and in the City of Los Angeles itself. I wouldn't, given the choice and the chance. If you wish to pay for this convenience, be my guest. If you rent a car out of LAX, your extra taxes/fees typically run about 30 per cent more than renting the car outside of the airport loop. You will be a happier individual.Trust me on this.Īll that said. They are even trained in it! Unless it covers what you agreed to when you made the reservation, DON'T INITIAL OR SIGN IT. The rental agents are very capable of trying to get you to initial this thing, or sign this page. DON'T INITIAL OR SIGN ANYTHING YOU DIDN'T AGREE TO BEFORE BOARDING FOR YOUR FLIGHT. Resist spite a long flight, the desire to sleep, and your unfamiliarity with the location and the situation you are facing. In California, the rental contract is several pages long, and there will be many places for you to accept extras that will double the cost of the rental or worse.
A common ploy within the United States car rental business is to "upgrade" the customer into a more expensive (or different) automobile, get them to accept what's known in the trade as CDW, LDW or similar terms, which has to do with automobile insurance in the case of collision or loss of vehicle. Stick to what you have already agreed to when you made the confirmed reservation while at home. Some advice, assuming you are in a confirmed reservation which you cannot back out of with Dollar: DO NOT initial or sign anywhere in the contract for extras, add ons, or such upon arrival to their service desk. First off, I hope you haven't made a rental car reservation with Dollar Rent a Car as yet.
