    I booked a car with Dollar when I purchased my United ticket though the United website…read more I was puzzled when, on arriving in Albany, there was no kiosk for Dollar along with the five or so other car rentals. It was only then that I found out that Dollar is not located at the airport but is ten minutes away and requires a shuttle. I called the shuttle at waited ten minutes for it to show up. The rest of the process was smooth. I was concerned about returning the car to the location and catching the shuttle at 6 am for my morning flight, but that went smoothly too. There are two issues that resulted in my low rating. The first is the off airport location. This is not made clear at the time of the reservation. I would expect both Dollar and United to have been transparent on that point. Second, the car rental location is understaffed. There is often only one person checking in customers and driving the shuttle. You can see how this could be an issue. However, the service was friendly and I had no issue with the car.

    Never rent a car from Dollar car rental, they don't honor their contractual agrreement. They…read moreoffered prepay gas refill based on usage, i returned my car full of gas and was charged almost $80 over the agreed on rate. I have attempted twice to reach out to Dollar car rental to bring resolution to this matter but never received a follow up email or call. They don't seem to care about customer service since they got your money, What a scam ! I booked my car rental through Southwest airlines, they should stop promoting their car rental with Dollar as its's a bad reflection on Southwest airlines too.

    Three stars seems about right and may be a little generous. All the other reviews are from dopes…read morewho clearly didn't read the fine print or don't have a concept of tolls. Let's start with the good: It's aptly named. Definitely the cheapest car rental place out of ALB. I got a pretty new, clean, Nissan Sentra. Unlimited mileage. When I brought it back there were no hidden fees. I paid exactly what I was told it'd be. Now the bad: No counter at the airport itself. You have to wait outside at the taxi stand for the shuttle. This sucks in the winter (though I will say the wait was short and they did drop me right at my airline when I was flying back). The actual office is very cramped. There are desks right next to the counter. The guys were all playing grabass right in front of the customers. Ugh. They didn't walk around the car with me to check it out. They just pointed me in the direction and said where it was. Also it'd be nice to know how to work the radio and where all the controls are and such. The point is you get what you pay for. If you're a cheapskate like me you might not mind this agency. If you want to spend more money on a better agency you'll probably be happier. Also, pay attention to the fin print!

    First, when I came off the airplane I didn't see a Thrifty counter at the airport. That's because…read morethere isn't one. You have to use the courtesy phone to call an extension and then they come and pick you up to take you to an off-site rental place. After being stuck in airports all day, this did not make me happy. Then, paying with a debit card isn't good enough. You also have to provide a major credit card OR proof of your returning flight. I had to get out my laptop and sign into my email to be able to show proof of my return flight to get my car. Again, I was not happy. This was the most inconvenient way of renting a car that I have ever experienced. Next time, I will pay more or get an Uber. Dang it, don't be Thrifty! You deserve better.

    Thrifty Rent A Car - There's about 2 inches between the counter and the door and people's desks right next to the counter.
