We reserved a rav-4 "or simmilar" and they gave us a Kia soul. It looked like a toaster on wheels. It was in no way similar to a rav 4.Reviewed 11 Feb 2025

Check out agent was efficient & friendly. I was impressed by how fast the check out was. That should be the number one priority for all rental car companies. Nice work!!Reviewed 3 Feb 2025

It was a few dollars cheaper but I paid dearly for it. The rental was booked for pick up at 6 AM. Arrived to find the office doesn’t open til 7 AM. During the 3 day rental the hubcap fell off. Discovered it was barely attached and previously broken. Spent several hours of my vacation repairing the hubcap with epoxy and then was worried it would fall off again and I would have to pay some exorbitant amount for the repair. Learned a lesson for sure never to use Payless again.Reviewed 31 Jan 2025

Car was old, had significant mechanical issues, and was dirty. Were I not expecting to drive less than 10 miles, I wouldn't have accepted it. It was also significantly dirty inside and had trim pieces loose.Reviewed 28 Sep 2024

They charged me extra $250 while I am picking the car. Literally fraud, I will dispute the charge. Probably I will never use kayak again for any rentals.Reviewed 25 Sep 2024

Beware! Deceptive pricing. Forced me to take minimum coverage costing an extra $150 even though I explained I already had insurance. When I called to complain, they asked me to bring the car in for inspection and if there was no damage they would refund one day. This is crazy. Don’t rent from this company.Reviewed 24 Sep 2024

Person at pick up is unethical and takes advantage of people with up charges. I was a little early and he claimed that he didn’t have a mid size car and that I had to pay for an upgrade. Bill was 150 more than what I signed up for and when I got to the pickup area it was a Hundai Elantra - a mid size car. These people are cheats and manipulators. Don’t rent from them!Reviewed 4 Sep 2024

The pick up and drop off from the airport was very easy. All the rental car places are in a big hub and there’s a shuttle from the airport. The person who checked us in was like an auctioneer - he talked a mile a minute to us while talking to his co-workers on either side. We declined the collision and told us the he upgraded us at no cost. But in fact, he charged us for both of these. When I asked why to total was so high he said that there is a 38% airport tax! ( which there is but I can’t do math that fast). It ended up being $350 for a compact for 3 days. The car was fine. The service was super shady and I was scammed.Reviewed 2 Sep 2024
