My total price of booking including taxes was supposed to be $265 . I paid for tolls and gas from sixt . But they charged an additional A1 , $36 car rental tax 2% plus 8% sales tax and A2 tax was charged . Car was good but they gave me a car that needed coolant after I drive for 2 days so I had to exchange the car at a different airport . I hope you guys can contact me back .

I loved the vehicle, but the agent upsold me on everything even though my kayak contract was one amount, they didn’t have that class of vehicle upon arrival and instead of upgrading me at no cost, they upcharged me. Then in addition to that, in order for my husband to drive the vehicle, that would’ve been an additional charge and I am never charged like this at other rental agencies.

At pick-up they tried to give me wrong vehicles and told me that my agreement was for a premium sedan and not a premium SUV Cadillac XT6 or similar. Told me they could put me in a SUV for additional money. Finally agreed to give me Buick Enclave for no additional cost after debating for 20 minutes.

The BEST was the turn-in experience with Jackson and Israel. They're truly customer-oriented and want to help people get on their way after turning in their cars - OUTSTANDING customer service! Not so great was that, when the vehicle sat in the sun/warmed up, there was a body odor smell in the upholstery. It was okay early mornings from the garage but always came out when parked in a carpark or driving in the sun. Needs shampooing or something.

The pick up area was hard to find. The facility was filthy and ill kept. The clerks were surly and tried to upsell every customer leading to a huge line. Cars were barely cleaned. The Toyota we rented was dirty - it had been run though the car wash and left wet. We were happy to get a car though. There were very few at the facility. When we returned the car, no one greeted us and it appears we were billed twice for the rental and the voucher not honored Definitely will not be renting through Kayak again.

Their customer service was excellent—pick-up and drop-off were very efficient. I needed to change the date and drop-off location and Avis did the change. They treated me like a good customer should be treated.

The car was just fine as far as a midsize model to drive which they only had one more to rent out the Weight at the DCA airport was almost 1 hour. The line at their rental shop even though I had a reservation was 45 minutes. I was told I would get an email of my receipt which I need to get reimbursed for work and to this moment I still don’t have an email. I was just lucky. I remembered the location to return it because I had no information given to me and I don’t know I checked the email with them and it should be correct but I do not have one at pick up or drop off.
