It was suppose to be ready at 4, but I didn’t get it until 4:30. The sanitizer solution smell was very overwhelming as was the air freshener smell inside the office. The gal helping me kept coughing into her hand and then wanted me to hand her my credit card - gross!

There was no car despite having a reservation. I wasn't notified there was no car until I showed up to pick it up. This rental was to travel for my husband's funeral. Hertz saved my day. I will probably not use Enterprise or Kayak again.

What did I like? A decent selection of vehicles to choose from. What I didn't like? 1. I payed thru this website just to get down there to pick up the car and be told that I couldn't use a Chime Credit card, I had to find a 4th party to put up the stupid deposit AND pay the extra daily fee for the "extra driver" since my friend, well he was not going. Avis / Payless, at least here in Topeka, suck mouse balls. 2. They didn't even walk me to the car and inspect it with me, I can only assume because he knew it was filthy and had plenty of dents and scratches to go with it along with a 3/4 full tank of gas.
