General Comments

The Dollar Rent a Car website promised a "Dodge Caliber or similar" for $109.88. I reserved the car through Expedia. When I arrived at Dollar's Albuquerque airport desk, the agent said all the $109.88 base models were all rented (however many that might have been). Only the "upgraded" model was available and that was $179.88. After surcharges, airport concession fee, and various taxes, the total would be over $435. I decided to take the Caliber and try to get an adjustment later. As I returned, en route to the airport, I stopped and phoned Dollar customer service. A series of customer service agents variously asked me to wait on hold or promised to call back. Some of them left vague messages on my voicemail. When I got back, I phoned Dollar customer service again. They said they couldn't do anything about the Albuquerque outfit, because it did it's own billing. He transferred me to Fleet-Sales-of-Santa-Fe-DBA-Dollar-Rent-A-Car, who told me that I had rented the 'all-wheel drive, cruise-control upgrade' of the Caliber, which came with a higher price, and no price adjustment would be forthcoming! Never again for me.
