The reservation was made to pickup in Johnson city and drop off in Stuart, FL. Somehow, this was modified and we were charged $350 extra when dropping off in Stuart, FL. Probably will never use kayak or Avis again and will make sure to tell everyone I know. We had to rent a car because we were caring for my aging in laws who are both on their deathbeds. Thanks for making the hard, harder.

This was the worst experience I have ever had with a car rental agency. When I went to pick up my SUV for a trip that was the next morning, they did not have my vehicle or anything usable. And the worst part was how rude they were. And I was calm! They said they had tried to "confirm" my vehicle twice that morning and had left messages at my house. There were zero messages on my voicemail. I will drive to the airport if I can to use a different agency.
