I have a car reserved with Dollar using Dollar Express. I also have a car reserved with National Emerial Isle. If I find a long line at the Dollar counter I would like to use my National emerial isle reservation. Can you hold both and not be charged? TIA
 
I have never had a line at Dollar Express when I used them at MCO. Now we take ME and I rent at their DTD location.

I don't think they charge you until you do the rental. So you could just not pick one of them up. But check the fineprint to make sure in your rental agreement on the web-sight.
 
I had the most wonderful experience with Dollar Express. I would call and doublecheck. I tend to believe they may charge you for at least one day.

If you look at #7 it says "No Show Fee". I dont know if they are lenient or not. I would call and ask but unless you get something in writing from the CSR , you cant be sure. Good luck.
 

But #7 is for the special luxury vehicals rental conditions and don't apply to all.
 
Wow, do I dare keep both? Thanks for the information but I still think it's iffy.
 
I agree with nyfinfan. The call doesn't cost anything - just call Dollar and ASK what their policy is. Keep in mind, since you're registered with Dollar Express, they probably do already have your credit card information on file. While it's not in their published rules, they could well charge you for a no-show.
