Pros:Can't think of anything!Cons:Arrived to pick the vehicle up and was told there were NO VEHICLES available!!!! What is the point of a reservation? The agent said they expected some vehicles to be available within the hour. While that could work in some instances, in mine, it created issues with timed plans for my afternoon. While a vehicle was provided before the "hour", the delay did cause me to miss one event entirely. The reservation was made late for the next day, but in the Metro NY area Payless certainly had other cars available at LaGuardia, Newark or other local sites they should have transferred into JFK for the SEVERAL reserved clients they had waiting all over the rental office!!! Not a nice way to begin a special, planned day of adventure.Reviewed 13 Jun. 2017

You did me wrongPros:I reserved through kayak a rental car to be picked up at 11 PM at JFK airport. I arrived a few minutes after 11 and was informed by another company that payless closed at 11 PM and that they were not there. It took me over an hour to get a new car, I paid more than the amount I reserved and I could have been stranded at the airport, as the other companies there either did not have cars or had cars roughly three times the priceReviewed 8 Feb. 2017

Cons:The car reeked of cigarettes. It was so bad that I had to actually purchase an air freshener for the two day rental.Reviewed 19 Oct. 2020

Poor Customer ServiceCons:- I reserved a 4WD vehicle and was told the SUV I was given had it but when i got stuck in the snow I realized it wasn't 4WD - it took 25 minutes to get the car once the paperwork was done - the car was filthy when I got it - not washed - when I dropped it off, the woman at the counter clearly had no interest in verifying if the SUV was indeed 4WD. Since I paid more for that feature I wanted to verify and ideally get some credit back if it was not 4WD - overall the staff was quite rude and was not happy with this company atvsllReviewed 8 Jan. 2018

Car ran great, but was dirty and worn looking insiPros:I had no problems with how it ran and it was easy to drive. had plenty of room for passengers and extra luggage.Cons:There were many stains on the upholstery of the 2 front seats--mainly looked like coffee splatted all over them. This was actually my 2nd car, as I rejected the 1st car they originally gave me for this rental because it was filthy in the back seat--it was gross. There were a variety of stains all over the backseat, all different colors and sizes--even one that looked like a pee stain. I was renting so I could drive a few people to a wedding and I didn't want them to have to worry about getting their nice clothes dirty. The 2nd car, which I took out of desperation after waiting another 15 minutes for it, was still not great, and I was a bit embarrassed to be driving my friends in a car w/ coffee stains in the 2 front seats, but it was much better than the first car at least. So, to wrap up, I would appreciate if extra time and effort went into detailing and cleaning stains/steamcleaning between uses. This is the first time I've ever rented a car that was so plainly disgusting and dirty inside. Thanks.Reviewed 17 Oct. 2016

Left without a carPros:N/ACons:Ended up leaving without a car because if you live in NY and paying with a debit card you need a utility bill with you to prove your residence matches your drivers license -- totally ridiculous and this should be something you are made aware of BEFORE you get there when making the reservation!Reviewed 4 Nov. 2015

Cons:I was told twice over the phone that I would not be charged an underage fee. They did it anyway. I want a refund. That is unacceptable bait and switch. I cannot afford the extra. I planned on $130.Reviewed 18 Oct. 2020
