4.0 OkayOct 1 2019
Pros: The car was niceCons: The Car selections were very limited, no options to be exact, kayak needs to let customers know they cannot use a debt card at airport terminal car rental places. I paid more for a midsized vehicle for 1 week than a full size from the same company
10.0 ExcellentAug 1 2019
Cons: We rented a Ford Fusion, this is a nice car!
4.0 OkayJan 29 2019
Cons: Very deceiving prices. Quoted only $180 ended up paying almost $400. Beware
2.0 MediocreDec 30 2018
Pros: They were friendlyCons: They did not have any sedans available . That was the only type of car I could use.
4.8 OkayAug 7 2018
Pros: Not much.Cons: They rerouted me to another rental provider because they don't staff their own desk. There were people in back that didn't come out to help so I had to wait for a long time with other customers. The return lot is unstaffed and not well marked. Took way too long.
10.0 ExcellentFeb 24 2018
Smooth transactionPros: The sign was clear at budget to see personal at Avis but there was one gentleman waiting at the counter. The staff are avis were friendly and efficient. The car was clean and well maintained. Checking back was easy. However, had to be specific that the tank was full because they automatically charged for gas even though I did not choose the prepaid option.
2.0 MediocreJan 16 2018
Pros: CleanCons: Windshield fluid was empty and after I filled.it, it leaked. I was driving in snow/slush and had to keep pulling over, dump bottle water on to the windshield then turn on wipers, otherwise after a little while of driving, I had zero visibility making it dangerous for driving.
5.2 OkayDec 8 2017
Pros: Easy pickup and drop off.Cons: The price that I was quoted when I made the reservation, was NOT the price when I picked up the vehicle. It was $100 dollars more when I picked up the vehicle.
The vehicle that I reserved online, was NOT the vehicle that was available when I picked it up. I reserved a luxury car, and received some type of SUV when I picked it up.
9.2 ExcellentJun 19 2017
Pros: The gentleman behind the counter was very friendly and helpful.Cons: Parking lot was so full there was nowhere to park.
6.8 GoodJun 8 2017
Pros: Easy and quick to drop offCons: No worker at budget had to wait for Avis desk to help me.

4.0 OkayJul 28 2020
Pros: The staff was friendly and the car was clean.Cons: The staff failed to mention that when I ran my debit/credit card at check in that they were required to run it as a debit even though it literally has a MasterCard logo on it??? I had over 6k in the bank ready for the trip and at the last minute my car reservation is declined?
Thanks for that :/
Due to this failure, I had to have my son (who has an "actual credit card" according to the staff) drive from Detroit to Lansing to re-rent a vehicle for the trip. When he arrived, and we went back, they had given my car to someone else and stated that all they had left were something like a Geo Metro. A Geo Metro??? Seriously??? Sigh...
So, we made a new reservation and asked if they had anything in the same size of larger. They said we have a Mazda3 but it's $7.00 more a day. So, I paid the extra $70 and renter that car instead. So, the $400 plus price i'd already paid for the reservation that was lost, but the price was mysteriously still available.
Sigh...
I got the car and then seen I only had a little over half a tank of gas? So, went and filled up the car. Additionally, it looked like moisture had gotten behind the instrument window and was so fogged I could barely see the mph gage.
Overall, it was a frustrating experience in comparison to the previous 4 visits when I had rented from the exact location, it went smooth as glass!
I rarely write this type of review but hopefully, someone else doesn't make the same assumptions I did and have to go through this experience.
8.0 ExcellentJul 21 2020
Cons: The car looked like it had been through an infestation of bugs before I picked it up. Windshield was dirty from bugs and the front of the car was infested with dead bugs. The interior was dirty and dusty. I had to clean the car before leaving on my trip. Once cleaned the car ran extremely well and was very fuel-efficient.
10.0 ExcellentApr 8 2020
Pros: The staff was very helpful. I appreciate the upgrade I received when the vehicle I thought I was getting wasn’t quite road ready. Thank you!
3.6 MediocreDec 28 2019
Pros: NothingCons: The windows were dirty so when driving that night I couldn’t see well. Fortunately I had a stop before the long trip the day after and could clean the windows. Then in the hwy the next day the low tire pressure light came on. I still had 1.5 hour drive ahead of me and wasn’t sure if my tires would blow or go flat. I stopped at a rest area to look at them and it seemed they were ok for the drive. Wasn’t worth the $54 to have the car for the day.
10.0 ExcellentDec 4 2019
Pros: Fast pickup and drop off . Car was hybrid with low highway noise. Kayak price of $52 was much cheaper than Avis counter price of about $86.
9.6 ExcellentNov 12 2019
Pros: Very helpful, car was ready and as advertisedCons: Drop off was different than I was used to but, 24 hour drop off is not practical
9.2 ExcellentOct 22 2019
Pros: Staff at pick-up was awesome.
7.6 GoodAug 27 2019
Pros: staff friendly was very confused on the drop off where to go, leave the car & the person at the counter left & went outside I think for the customer in front of me but didn't say anything about coming back to help meCons: when picking up car explaining some things about the car, for someone that has never driven this type of car, like starting, window adjustment, heat/cool adjustment, would be helpful
2.0 MediocreAug 13 2019
Cons: No car was avail. As they overbooked
10.0 ExcellentAug 2 2019
Pros: Woman at Lansing desk was very friendly and was willing to join my small talk. We need that kind on honest people at customer services.Cons: Drop off was kind a mass production. Hurry officers were trying to give information to all customers in same time. Something to fix/change in drop off process?

2.0 MediocreJul 13 2019
Cons: They didn’t actually have a car available for me to rent.
2.0 MediocreJul 26 2017
DisappointedCons: Rented online for Enterprise pick up at the airport. Arrived and Enterprise said we booked at another location, we were a bit confused. The biggest perk from Kayak was pick up and drop off at the airport. Enterprise did not have a shuttle to the different location. We chose another rental car agency at the airport because it was cheaper than the car rental at Enterprise with the added taxi cost to and from new location. Disappointed with both Kayak and Enterprise.
10.0 ExcellentApr 11 2017
Pros: Easy Pick Up
Easy Return
9.2 ExcellentFeb 20 2017
Cons: It took a while to get the car. I think they were having computer issues.
2.0 MediocreJan 27 2017
Crappy Car and ServicePros: The guy in the office says "Sign all this..." Part of which was the inspection. I haven't even seen the car yet at this point. He says, "Sign it anyway and it'll be fine," in his cool guy cocky way. The car was a mess and not even full of gas. Sorry to annoy you, dude, but I'm not signing for something sight unseen.
5.6 OkayDec 15 2016
Cons: the car was not washed thoroughly during pickup.
