8.4 ExcellentOct 26 2018

5.2 OkaySep 10 2018
Do they have phone service?Pros: The car was great and in good condition, just as anticipated.Cons: I could not get ahold of the location in which I was renting. I called and left messages and no one ever returned my calls. I called the 1-800 number and they couldn't/wouldn't help me stating it had to be taken up with the specific branch and they didn't have access to their files...
8.0 ExcellentMay 6 2018
Pros: vehicle was new and drove and handled well with no problemsCons: extra charge thaat was asked for satellite radio service
10.0 ExcellentJan 3 2018
Great servicePros: Price was really good on kayak and they pick you up and drop you off even from the airport without the ridiculous airport price
3.6 MediocreDec 22 2017
Pulled over by police due to validation sticker being on front of thePros: Not much...Cons: The car wasn’t very clean, interior had a fine musk of wet dog. Validation sticker was on the front licence plate, living in the province of Ontario, not having a validation sticker located on the rear plate is $110 dollar fine. Luckily the officer was pleasant. We got off with a warning, but the situation could of turned very bad, and considering that enterprise makes you sign a waiver stating that “all tickets are the responsibility of the driver” technically I would be responsible for the ticket. I doubt I’ll be using kayak or enterprise again. I’m sure any other car rental company complies with high way traffic act. I also think kayak should be a little bit more cautions and make sure their rental providers conform to all local laws.
10.0 ExcellentSep 11 2016
