Orlando, USA Florida

Orlando Airport Dollar — theme park logistics

Budget choice for Disney and Universal. The minivan had all the cupholders a family needs and Dollar staff gave real advice about avoiding I-4 rush hour. Return process was standard.

San Francisco, USA

San Francisco Airport Dollar — Bay value with a view

Budget option that delivered. The Chevy Spark was tiny but perfect for SF street parking. Staff warned about the Lombard Street tourists and suggested alternate routes.

Phuket, Thailand

Phuket Airport Dollar — tourist trap vibes but the car worked

Long queue, aggressive insurance pitch, but the Honda CR-V was clean. Read the fuel policy carefully.

Cape Town, South Africa

Cape Town Airport Dollar — budget option that delivered

Older fleet than Hertz but the Corolla handled the Garden Route fine. Staff documented every scratch upfront.

Johannesburg, South Africa

Johannesburg Airport Dollar — honest about the deposit

Staff were clear about the security hold and the Kia Cerato ran well for a Kruger trip. Basic but functional.

Porto, Portugal

Porto Airport Dollar — adequate but nothing memorable

Standard process: queue, paperwork, key. Clean car, ran fine, hassle-free return. No standout service moments either way. A solid middle-of-the-road option.

Denver, USA Colorado

Denver Airport Dollar — altitude-ready but pushy on insurance

The Chevy Equinox handled I-70 mountain grades fine, but the counter staff pushed extra coverage hard enough that we felt like we were buying a car, not renting one.
