I called Payless to make sure I could pick up a car with my later flight (expected arrival time 10 pm), even though their office hours say they close at 10. The agent I spoke to said "that location allows for pick-up and drop-off 24/7. When I arrived 30 minutes late because of a delayed flight, the Payless counter was closed with a handwritten note to go to the Avis counter to pick up my car. After a 2 hour wait in the Avis rental line, I was required to rent a new car from Avis and was told they (the Avis counter) do not have access to the Payless inventory. Garbage experience!

I waited an hour at the counter upstairs to get the paperwork for a prepaid reservation. Then went downstairs where I waited another hour to be given a car. The employees told us we were lucky because others waited three hours earlier.

When I rented the car at like 2 am, I needed a large SUV to transport 6 teenagers across the state to a dance competition. Unbeknownst to my when I started to drive away the check engine light went on. I called budget they told me that if I didn’t feel safe that I couldn’t return it. Well now I was really late. They said the car should be fine and so I went on. The next today the car was driving like it was off alignment. I didn’t have time to switch cars nor drive all the way 1.25 hrs away to the nearest budget to get. A new rental. They didn’t offer any compensation except that I could switch the car out, which I had to pay for the gas there to switch it out and it took me over 4 hours with driving to get there switch it out and they made me fill up the tank again for my gas to get back to my location. I just think it is completely unprofessional to not offer road side assistance and specially when they knew that I had 6 teenagers that I was transporting and responsible for.

Budget SeaTac had NO CARS, even though the reservation had been made. QEEQ had to refund me. All in all it was a terrible experience and it threatens kayak's reputation for you to continue to work with them.

No instructions on how to read EV dash and what charging stations are compatible. I never planned to charge car as it was a very short term rental. When car battery died (not the one that runs car but smaller one) I called their automated roadside assistance number and was caught in non helpful time sucking loop. Got an apathetic human by calling another number who just transferred me back to the automated system. The process sucked up an hour. Ultimately I called AAA and missed my flight.

Avis now ranks below fox in my book... and that is hard to do. The "legal" term for what I experienced was bait and switch. EV (said my credit card rental coverage probably didn't cover Electric vehicles and the only other option was a 10 person van which at 5'3" and 67 years old would be unsafe for me to drive. I expect to have my original price honored and am ready to raise hell if it's not.

This was the worst experience I have ever had with. I was left to resolve the matter on my own. The 3rd party Kayak used did not address my issue and left me stranded. I could not move the reservation to any other provider, and I had to find a vehicle myself. We were 2 hours late for our meeting. And what makes this worst is I prepaid everything. I would not use KAYAK or their service providers again and I will tell everyone I know about this experience

Our AVIS rep at SeaTac was wonderful. She was very patient when my credit card didn’t work and saved my ‘mystery car’ reservation while I paid off enough of the balance to pay for our car. Based on this experience I will not hesitate to recommend AVIS in the future.

i put an electric car on hold, but when i arrived i was told it would only have a range of 100-150miles. i was also told if i didnt bring it back charged fully it would cost me an extra $35 and that charging would take about 4-8 hrs. so for a one night rental i was looking to be charging/waiting around constantly. they did get me a gas car, but it wasnt cheap.
