Dollar and fuel

[ShirleyCottam]

Can the return full be used with Dollar, it seems that its only Alamo and National that offer this when you read the silver hire options on the car hire site. Dollar is not mentioned

quote From the hire options page.

•The tank will be full on collection. If you return empty you will be charged for the tank of fuel on return of the car. If you select Alamo or National, and return the car full then you will not be charged.

Is there any update on this? The Fuel Options page now says that you have the choice of returning full (and not buying a tankful from Dollar), but the terms and conditions for the Dollar Silver Basic option, which is what you have to agree to, still says "Collect with a full tank and return as empty as possible. Dollar will charge you for a full tank plus tax, at a rate up to around 2 times the current pump price" - no option to decline the purchase of a full tank. Which is right?

Thanks

Yes, see my post #3 above which is still valid - the rules are the same with Dollar and Alamo. I'll take a look at our site terms in due course as they may still be a bit out of date in that respect, as Dollar used to have a different policy than Alamo.
