Dollar rent a car

i think i rented with hertz and got to chose my car from the section i ordered. Does anyone know if Dollar car rental pre-assign cars or u get to chose your car in the garage?

i booked a lock low and go.. the site says i%26#39;m guaranteed at least an intermediate. The website does not specify what an intermediate is.. price i lock is equivelent to a mid-size, can anyone confirm from experience?

Dollar rent a car

We have rented with them a couple times over the last year....Both times econonmy..Both times they did not have economy. So they just had us choose from what they had.....Which was better than economy....We chose a mustang and a Pacifica. So yes you do choose but maybe better than intermediate class if your lucky..

Dollar rent a car

I love Dollar at Vegas airport. I%26#39;ve used them for over 8 years now. I%26#39;m also a Hertz President%26#39;s Club member and use Hertz for business and at most other locations. But in Vegas I%26#39;m loyal to Dollar.

My last 2 trips to Vegas I used lock low %26#39;n go rates, they are AWESOME. I once got a Subaru, then I got a Dodge Stratus, and then I got a PT Cruiser. Yes, they let you choose from a section, usually the ';mid-size'; section which is typically stocked with PT Cruisers and Dodge Stratuses (and that new Dodge, whatever it is). You sometimes will see nothing but the same kind of car, other times you%26#39;ll see a mix. My first time with that rate they allowed me to choose a Mini-van if I wanted. Whatever they have too much of they will offer. But you will definitely get at least a ';midsize'; car for that rate, and it%26#39;s possible you get a larger one. Even if you get midsize, the lock low rate is lower than the midsize rate, plus you get that possibility of an upgrade. Either way, though, you choose out of a section. The section just is not as big or varied as Hertz%26#39;s usually is.

Of course, if they%26#39;ve changed anything since March, then I could be wrong, but I doubt it...they%26#39;ve been doing it this way for the 8 years or so I%26#39;ve been renting from them.

Stick w/ the lock low and go rate.

great info johnny.

i think u are right.. i will be in on sat night.. i figure most cars will be gone and limited choice.. i was wondering if they will upgrade me to full size rather than pick from 2-3 cars.. how was the stratus by the way? i want a car with power and good A/C.. it will be hot this weekend..

i think they%26#39;re gonna keep me at a mid-size.. price as u said was about the same..maybe $1-2 less a day for lock low and go..

i think there are signs from the aiport to the car rental shuttle if i remember correctly..correct?

We picked up our car at Bellagio and could not chose. We had booked a luxury car and got a Pasifica... it was nothing wrong with the car but I don%26#39;t know if I would consider it to be ';luxury';!?

My Lock Low %26amp; Go got me a Chrysler 300.

Nice ride except going up big hills. That%26#39;s a lot of weight it%26#39;s hauling around! Gas milage was around 24 mpg. I was pleased.

i%26#39;m getting my car at the airport.. maybe it would;ve been better to get at hotel.. but then u would have to pay for taxi lol..

crysler 300..is that a mid size car?

besides, pt cruiser, ford strattus, crysler 300?.. what other cars are considered mid size?

i like big car.. so i won%26#39;t mind an suv or something bigger ;)

Ive found this thread very interesting as im thinking about maybe renting a car for a few days in vegas and saw that lock low and go deal but thought they wouldnt really offer a high level car for less money but this site never ceases to impress me and here i have my answer lol

The only annoying thing is that Dollars UK site doesnt allow you to chose that option....you infact chose the very car you want, doesnt ask you for options like compact, lux, standard.

Quick question too....how big is the pool of cars car rental companies have at the hotels? Im thinking if you do that lock low deal its best picking up from airport if you get a choice?

Also can anyone tell me if Dollar and Thrifty are the same company as they are the same website over here and offer exact same prices

Mulder, yes, Dollar and Thrifty have merged and are now one company. Also, if you are renting from dollar, go to their website and sign up for the xpress service, you will avoid long lines at the rental site.

I would recommend renting a car while in LV. We rented a mid-size for $76 for an entire week. We drove to Hoover Dam, Red Rock, Fremont, and other casinos located off the strip. Cab fare to and from the airport and a couple of other rides will put you over what you can rent a car for.

Either you guys have been lucky or I have been unlucky. The last two times I rented a car in Vegas there were none to choose from and they just brought up cars one at a time that had obviously just been returned (still dripping wet from the car wash).

I did not ask if I could wait to choose something else. I just wanted to get going with whatever was available.
