The Payless location is small (being remodeled so messy) and not too attractive. They will require you to show proper insurance coverage (both collision/damage and 3rd party accident "SLI" coverage) which I had and brought proof from my policy, or they will pressure you into taking their insurance (which can be quite expensive). Overall the process of getting a car was fairly quick and efficient, and early morning return was also fairly quick, although we had to wait about 20 minutes for the airport shuttle to arrive.Reviewed Oct 30 2024

The pickup experience was completely out of control, Apparently multiple workers had called out that day, but there were basically only two people working the counter, then three when the manager joined. I stood in line longer than it took for me to fly from NYC to Detroit. Then they sent me to an empty parking spot because they had lost control of where their stock was or wasn't. I ended up with a very different class of vehicle, and one that used significantly more gas than I expected to use. Check in was better, but the handheld system kept disconnecting from their wifi or satellite link, so again, a little delay. The staff, on the other hand, was always nice, pleasant, hard working and attendant; they just didn't have what they needed to offer an acceptable level of service.Reviewed Oct 29 2024

THE LINE WAS over 50 people long and there was one attendant working the desk. I cancelled the car but it required 45 min on the phone to get it cancelled. The line would have taken 2-3 hours from what I could discern.Reviewed Oct 28 2024

I didn’t like that Kayak/Expedia/RentalCover.com sold me an insurance policy that Payless refuses to accept as coverage for their rental cars. Additionally, my concerns and feedback have never been acknowledged by any of those 3 entities involved in selling the policy. Most of all I cannot get my money back because neither of them will respond. AT All!Reviewed Oct 24 2024

We had to wait in the Avis lineup at the Salt Lake City airport when picking up the vehicle, even though there wasn't anyone waiting for the Payless representative. It took a long time. There should be a separate Payless line.Reviewed Oct 23 2024

Trying to submit lost & found report and no way to contact them and link sent from phone logic tree is invalid when selecting my return location.. calling the location directly results in being put on hold for 10 minutes and hung up on. Caling the corporate customer service live agent directed me to Avis website.. They are unreachable and it seems like its intentional.Reviewed Oct 21 2024

No way to figure out which shuttle to take to get there. Once there, the upsell was brutal. Gave us a car that smelled like cigarette smoke. Drop off people acted like you were bothering them to be there.Reviewed Oct 20 2024

I arrived at the rental company and the agent was not there. He ended up arriving 10 minutes late. I ended up paying $165 for a car that was quoted $37. The agent insisted that there would be a €1,000 deposit because I booked online and didn't have insurance thru them. However, if he canceled my booking and made a reservation himself, then I would be able to purchase their insurance for €100 in addition to the rental fee and I would still have to pay a €100 deposit. This place is a scam and should not be used.Reviewed Oct 20 2024
