Kayak users should be informed that according to the staff at Budget RAC, PIT has instituted a ban on renting cars for travelers who pay with bank and debit cards since scammers have tried to pay with pre-paid cards. We tried with them, another rental company and finally Alamo and the staff suggested booking the car online (KAYAK) and then it would work with that system and that is how we got the car. I don’t know if it would work with all of them but unless we invest in a credit card, Alamo will be the first choice for car rental from PIT from now on.

I was renting this car to drive to my cousin’s out of town funeral while my car was being repaired. I had a very tight turnaround screenshot and reviewed all of the terms & conditions in advance to avoid any major issues, particularly because I do not have a credit card. There was no language indicating a credit card is required for transactions at some Alamo locations. When I got to Alamo learned that this Pittsburgh airport location requires that you use a credit card, purportedly due to the $300 hold that is placed on the card. I had to take an Uber home and wasn’t able to get a rental from Enterprise (there are no other Alamo locations within an hour of Pittsburgh) until they opened at 9:30 am the following morning. I was late to my cousin’s funeral and was not able to give a eulogy and left my aunt scrambling to find someone else to speak. I caused her so much stress while she is mourning her son which is unforgivable. I checked on Alamo’s website and saw that there was language regarding possible credit card requirements when booking. If I had tried to book directly with Alamo, I would have seen that and found a different car rental provider. I thought I could use Kayak to save money, but there are some things that are more important than money. I will be actively discouraging anyone from using Kayak whenever I can.

I searched for a car Pittsburgh downtown. Without knowing it I was redirected to a Centre out of town. I booked the car and when I Realised it was $50 to get there was told I couldn’t change this. It cost $50 each way!!!! The system needs to be clearer if you are redirected to another location. I would like to request compensation for this given the exhorbitant extra cost.

Payless does not even operate out if that location. When I spoke to customer service on the phone they had no idea. I got to the rental location and end up being stranded there with no vehicle as the actual rental companies that operate out of the Pittsburgh airport were already sold out of cars. It seems that Payless created a bogus rental reservation for me for that location. When I told customer service they said that my reservation could be picked up from Avis, however avis said that was not true, they had nothing in there system, and they were sold out of cars already anyway. This situation caused me to be stranded in the city of Pittsburgh.

It’s been closed for 5 years. I made a reservation for my wife on kayak. When she got to the airport, she found out Payless has been closed for 5 years at that location. Luckily budget had a car. You need to update your system. This should never happen. She was almost stranded in Pittsburgh. Unacceptable.
