Dollar Car Rental is an American car hire brand that started in 1965 and is now owned by The Hertz Corporation, alongside Hertz, Thrifty and Firefly. It's pitched at budget-conscious travellers, and its UK site books cars across the UK and Europe, with the wider Dollar network covering the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries.
In the UK, Dollar has desks at airports including London Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, London City, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Belfast International and Belfast City, plus city branches such as Edinburgh Haymarket. In Europe it lists locations in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands, such as Nice, Marseille, Bordeaux, Munich, Düsseldorf, Milan Malpensa and Palma de Mallorca. The fleet runs from mini cars like the Kia Picanto to compacts, intermediates, SUVs and electric cars such as the Polestar 2, always booked as a car group 'or similar'.
Bookings made through the UK site are taken by Hertz Europe Service Centre Limited in Ireland, with the rental itself provided by the local Hertz company. You can pay now or pay at the desk; prepaid bookings can be cancelled for a full refund up to midnight two days before pick-up, and pay-at-location bookings can be cancelled free until the day of collection. Prices are shown in pounds on the UK site.
