More Ways to Contact Dollar Rent-A-Car Customer Service

There are of course other ways to contact Dollar Rent-A-Car customer service besides the phone. Below we list the best ones, by medium.
Email

Customer service email address

Dollar Rent-A-Car's website
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Dollar Rent-A-Car customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
