We haven't established one U.S.-wide additional driver policy answer for Dollar. The actual location and booking terms decide it; use this guide to find the right policy, ask precise questions and avoid treating an unknown amount as $0.
Before you rely on a policy
Amounts and eligibility can change by branch, vehicle, card, and booking. A pending hold is different from a settled charge.
What is confirmed here
Dollar is included in our research directory as a counter rental company. The official site is the starting point for a location or trip-specific rule. We have not confirmed a brand-wide additional driver policy price or verdict for the conditions you entered.

Questions to ask before paying
- Ask who can be listed as an authorized driver and whether that person must appear at pickup.
- Check spouse, partner, disability-related and state exceptions to a fee.
- Ask whether the fee is per day, per driver and subject to a cap.
- Ask the agent to point to the clause that applies to your reservation and state whether the amount is a hold, final charge, daily fee or potential claim.
