When we arrived they told us they didn't have the size vehicle we had reserved and confirmed. We had to cancel the reservation and find a new company which didn't have what we needed, ended up driving a jump 15 passenger van instead of a mini van and had to pay more money.

Booked a Thrifty reservation for 6:00 pm pick up at the PAC airport in Panama City, Panama. HOWEVER all of the airport car rentals in that location close at 5:00 pm. NO where on any of my reservation information did it say that they would be closed. HOW can Kayak/ Thrifty even make and guarantee a reservation time when the location is closed. I also spoke to a representative twice to confirm the car size two days before my arrival. I had to take an Uber to the Thrifty location In Panama City and there- the customer service representatives were extremely helpful. I eventually did get a car (it was vacation week so the options were limited) Also the customer service agents at the office said that they were not surprised, that this happens often.

Passenger van

KAYAK
The vehicle was advertised as a 15-passenger van but truly it is a 14-passenger vehicle. Additionally, the front row is very difficult and uncomfortable for passengers to sit because of a huge black box built inside of the van. The van was very clean but smelled also like smoke. This was disturbing for my allergies, and we had to pay to have the vehicle detailed as a result. Lastly, the rental location customer service was great, but I was taken back by the $5,000 credit card hold for liability. This is extremely ridiculous and I have never experienced this requirement not even in America with high-end vehicles. If this is the requirement moving forward for Avis Panama this should be expressed in advance of pick-up and not as a surprise on the day of pick-up. There were so many hidden fees and as a preferred business renter with Avis (America) I was disappointed.

Company is not clear about charges and even didn't want to give a printed receipt after we returned the car. Alleging within 30 min you would get by email. We had to insist because we were leaving the city without knowing final charge. When he finally printed the receipt there was 40 dollar difference from what he told us verbally.

Alamo as some others on their groups are nothing but thieves. They scam me from a luxury car to a cheap one claiming that AMEX didn’t cover insurance for the luxury car while holding in their hands a letter from them stating that I was covered. But still charged me the luxury car rate blaming on Kayak taking their share off the top first. In other words they pretty much said not to use Kayak at all. I wouldn’t recommend Alamo or any of their affiliates to a dog. I’m not the first one they’ve done this to.

We booked a rental car and received confirmation email. We showed up at the counter and no one was there. It took an hour for economy to track down the person to come to the booth, who then informed us there was no cars available despite us booking a reservation. We had to get a car with another company for four times what you quoted us and I would like compensation for the inconvenience and failure to deliver.
