I originally had reserved (online) a large sedan from Dollar rent a car at the Halifax Stanton airport in Nova Scotia. Our flight was on time, and we went up to the Dollar counter as per our reservation, but they Dollar failed to save a sedan for us, and gave us 2 options: 1) a huge SUV which we didn't want, or 2) an Jeep SUV which had a built in cup holder in the second row, which prevents a third person from sitting comfortably (holder was located where the legs would normally go). After inspecting the SUV, I declined the rental and went to other car rental counters.
The first one I went to told me that since I was renting at the airport and at the last minute, they cannot give me the online rate. So next, I went to National and what a difference. I told the person at the counter that I am having problems with the car provided by Dollar and explained the situation. She at first thought that the cupholder could be pushed back into the seat and insisted on walking me back to the Dollar SUV to see if she could help. After concluding that it wouldn't work, she took us back to the counter and offered us a Nissan SUV that fit our needs and matched Dollar's. Just wonderful service.
