Princeville Car Rentals

Cons: Reserved a full size car Got a Mazda 6 That's not full size! Car not that clean, could have been better The car worked fine but I don't consider it full size

Cons: car had very little power. made noises at times suggesting it needed maintenance. interior a bit worn.

Cons: They really will try and push you to upgrade to a larger car, but it's not necessary. A nice hatch back like the Accent works perfectly for a party of 2.

Cons: Vehicle missing exterior body trim and passenger inside ceiling handle broken

Cons: I made a reservation for a small car at $15/day. Had to pay double my quoted price because agency didn't have that type of car available at the moment thus forcing me to pay more. Terrible experience.

Cons: The shuttle was late to pick us up after we had seen an alamo and enterprise bus pass 5 times. We picked up the car and after driving we found roaches. We returned the car and very next car I checked had roaches. The third vehicle had roaches the third day but I decided to get Roach traps instead of dealing with advantage again

Cons: Customer service rep who checked us in tried to upsale us on insurance and gas in an unappreciated manner

Cons: I was told because I lived in Hawai'i, I had to put down an extra $200 deposit. She also insisted they know my hotel and give proof that I had a return flight. She also gave me a warning that I would be charged extra if I got the car dirty or dragged sand in the interior. I am a medical doctor and I fly lots of places for both business and pleasure. I strongly recommend you never use this car rental company. Hertz and Avis have always given me excellent service and never demanded that I justify myself.

Cons: Really pushed selling the extra services (insurance of all sorts in a variety of packages) and made it seem like the island was teeming with criminals and treacherous roads. The seat belt and drivers seat was caked in salt- which I get a small amount, but it was sticky with grime. Our car only came with 1 key- no dongle to lock and unlock it (and they told us not to lose it because it was really expensive, though it seems someone else lost the dongle or it had broken somehow and they failed to replace it). Our car radio didn't work very well, seemed like the antenna was damaged somehow. They fill out damage to the car prior to you taking it, but missed damage on ours so when we returned it the attendant had to call to be sure it wasn't us who cause it (I am happy they verified that I did not damage the car, but it is frustrating when you are waiting for them to do this because they missed it in the first place and you have a flight to catch). When they called to verified, we had no idea what she was doing, she simply said "Just a sec." went behind the building somewhere and started talking on the cell phone. We had no idea what was going on, we thought she was booking another car or talking to a friend or something because she just left us standing there to answer a call. It wasn't until she came back that she told us she was calling about the damage. Kind of made me feel like they were trying to make us pay for something we weren't responsible for because we didn't choose to buy the insurance (we are covered through our credit card company- everyone should check out their coverage they may already have).

Cons: The persistent overselling of products (insurance & rental loss), cleanliness of vehicles, maintenance of vehicles (brake noise, steering noise, shuttering), and the consideration of road conditions (beware half the island is being paved so there is an expectation of rock dings). Overall, I paid way too much in the long run and I should have went to somewhere else.

Cons: No car. Late flight

Cons: counter rep asked if I wanted insurance or would like to decline. I said decline and next thing I know he calls my car insurance company in the mainland to verify I have insurance but since it wasn't a full car insurance package I had to buy their insurance for an extra $30/day. the total bill came out higher than just going with one of the other companies that was a little bit more per day. what a rip off!

Cons: They did not have any SUVs, and couldn't offer a bigger car. They blamed it on someone extending his reservation.

Cons: The 12v plugs are disabled in all their cheaper rentals which was a problem as we were camping our whole stay. Staff wasn't concerned by this and suggested we upgrade or go to a different agency. We ended up in smaller and less comfortable Mustang for nearly twice what I was expecting to pay in favor of losing more time out of our visit. I had to call for the shuttle as it passed by without stopping the first time too, and initial pickup at the counter was slow. Next time I'll go with another agency and avoid Fox.

Cons: Only one complaint, and it's a big one: the windshield wipers streaked very badly. This is unacceptable for Kauai, where rains are frequent and often torrential. This is why I gave three stars for "overall" and comfort. If the wipers worked flawlessly, i would have given 5 stars across the board.

Cons: They did not have the car we booked ready and said it would be a three hour wait for it. The only option offered to us was their "premium" convertible Mustang, which had a busted transmission, and a whistling air vent. When we brought that back to exchange for a functioning car, we were told that was the nicest one they had, and that all the mustangs were pretty terrible. So instead we downgraded back to an economy car, which had horribly squealing and dangerous brakes, steering issues, and terrible gas mileage. Upon returning the rental, we informed them of our concerns and requested a refund of the price increase for the "premium" upgrade, to the bill we were initially quoted, since the upgrade was forced, the car offered was unacceptable, and the replacement was back to an economy car and far worse, if not dangerous. They promptly closed our rental and told us it was impossible to refund on a closed ticket, and refused to get a manager involved to address the situation. They showed extremely manipulative and predatory practices, offered an unacceptable experience, and topped it off my informing us that we in fact did receive the best cars they had, and that what we had initially requested would have been even worse. They have not only ignored our concerns and request for a partial refund, but added additional charges to my credit card since. I cannot express enough how little you should trust this branch, and would never recommend renting through them, at any price or quality of car. At this point I would expect a full refund from a reputable company, but have simply requested a reversal of the additional charges incurred, and have still been ignored.

Cons: Biggest issue was that the car was booked for a holiday date at a location that was closed on holidays. This should not happen. I, and many others were impacted by this. I don't know whether this was the responsibility of Enterprise or Kayak but it made the rental harder and more expensive. Very frustrating. It makes me hesitant to use either firm again for car rentals. Car itself was fine,

Cons: When I booked car rental with third party vendor, I expected car rental to be at airport. It was not. There was no shuttle to/from the location. That became a problem.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: If you put in the airport for pick up it should be really clear that the re talk location is a cab or uber away

Cons: The automatic cvt on the car was pretty weird overall. It's awkward at low speeds. This doesn't really have anything to do with Thrifty, just letting you know.

Cons: We had to wait 30 minutes for our first car. It was old and had bad technology. A day later, the brakes started having a rubbing sound, so we took the car back. The next car was a Jeep as it was the only car available. It had a terrible smell. A day later an engine light appeared. It seemed as if all the car there were defective.

Cons: Make sure you check to see the amount of gas they said they gave you to what is actually in the car.

Cons: Had to return our first rental car because the battery on the key was dying and if it went out the car would not start. The second car they gave me had a lot of dents in it. Then I noticed that they charged me more than what I was quoted when I rented the car. They honored the price, but of course it took time to do this.

Cons: The car seemed old and had no usb ports. Wipers were substandard and windshield was hard to see through. Windshield and mirrors were dirty. I waited a long time in line at 11:30 p.m. after traveling for 10 hours and had a copy of my reservation ($135) in hand when I finally got to the counter. Agent insisted that in spite of my excellent insurance coverage and additional coverage through American Express, I needed Thrifty's liability insurance because "Hawaii is different. You absolutely need this, I promise you." Bill went from $135 to $278 for a really crappy car. Will not rent from Thrifty again.

Cons: Gave us a significantly larger vehicle than we reserved. Long wait at pickup. Tried to convince us to buy extra insurance and several other nickle and dime tactics.

Cons: The car was not throughly vacumed and looked dirty. They did however quickly address this issue once I complained.

Cons: Waited FOREVER (over an hour) at 10pm with two little kids to get my car because they were horribly understaffed.

Cons: Found a couple cockroaches during the course of our trip. Not a big deal for me but wifey not too pleased. By the third roach, we bought traps and put them under our seats. Didnt check them until we dropped the car off. My wife refused to know how bad a problem it could be. When i checked the traps at drop off i found, no joke, 70-80 roaches of verying sizes. Total infestation. i think someone had a roach farm going under the seats.

Cons: No water was in the windshield washer well. Completely dry. Had to buy some at local AceHardware store.

Cons: waited over an hour AFTER paperwork was done to get car

Cons: Car was dirty, looked like the exterior was rinsed down, and the inside hasn't seen a cleaning in at least 3 or 4 rentals before I rented it. Shortly after driving it for about 4 miles we stopped to do some shopping at Costco. When we returned to the car we found several weird looking colored bugs in the Center Console. We went to our destination and parked the car. Next morning as we entered the car we saw several (at least 10 or more) cockroaches scatter for cover. They went everywhere into the dash, the center console under the seats, and on and on. Needless to say we will not be renting from Budget again.

Cons: The car was worn and had no washer fluid? Had to buy it myself .

Cons: We Arrived on last flight on vacation on our anniversary over 20 years budget was closed so we had to stay on the streets over night then arrived at budget and they would not rent a car to me cause of my credit. it didn't matter how much money I had to pay and spent for this vacation was disappointed

Cons: there is a couple of dollar difference than the quoted price, I let it go.

Cons: Took a long time to get our car when we arrived since there were only two people working. That was frustrating since it was already late. Also, the price wasn't as low as we felt it could have been.

Cons: Car smell could've been more fresh but not a deal breaker.

Cons: Down the road we noticed that the brakes were a bit noisy on this 30K+ mile vehicle. And there was no wiper fluid which was a contributing cause of a bird incident. Poor thing.

Cons: N/A

Cons: Nissan altimas are just bad cars. Nothing negative other than that.

Cons: Waited forever (1 hr) in line because only one computer worked for Payless. We got a far cheaper car than advertised when booking. Our car had a broken rubber piece hanging on the back left door seal that prevented the door from closing all the way, which prevented the remote lock from working. The wipers were also old and smeared the water across the windshield instead of wiped them, making it dangerous to drive in the rain by obstructing the view. I was staying an hour away so I asked for help prior to coming in and they were hard to get a hold of. I sent an email and 4 days later they just apologized and said thanks for the feedback instead of helping me get a replacement car. They have an "F" rating on BBB - I won't even bother making an inquiry. Don't go with Payless.

Cons: Pickup was a little confusing as Payless did not have any attendants at the Budget/Payless counter and no signage explaining what to do.

Cons: Nothing
