Loved that we got an upgrade because what we requested was not available so that’s always a perk. Drop off at the airport was super easy.Reviewed Mar 15 2026

We reserved the car with kayak and the company didn’t have cars available. I think kayak could’ve done a better job in this transaction. Kayak allowed us to make a reservation with the car company without cars available. Very poor communication and costumer service. The car company was nice to make a phone call to us to tell us they didn’t have cars at their location and couldn’t understand why kayak would allow this.Reviewed Oct 18 2022
