Pros:
NothingCons:
Booked a reservation for car and upon areival was notified that they wanted to charge a 1000 deposit. My rental agreement reservation said a drivers license and payment of final amount required at rental counter nothing about a 1000 deposit. They said up and down its on the website while I showed them my rental agreement that mentioned nothing of deposit required for renting a car. I made the reservation under the same pretense when you rent a car that you can pay cash or card the amount required to pay for rental. I have never had to pay a deposit to successfully rent a car from anywhere before. Very displeased with the entire process and needless to say did not use the rental I had reserved and will rethink my process of renting a car in the future.10.0 Wonderful

I bought insurance offered on the website through alliance at reservation online checkout.

First, our reservation and paperwork were waiting for us. No problems at the airport and the car was within walking distance of terminal. Had a problem with car and we were able to change cars right at our hotel. No need to return to airport. Staff helpful with the substitution.Cons:

Sep 2017
Pros:
Not much, honestlyCons:
We had ordered a mid-size car and assumed it would be automatic transmission, as there was no prominent checkbox or indication otherwise. When we arrived in Curaçao, we were told that we'd reserved a tiny Kia Picanto with manual transmission, which I hadn't used in over a decade, and that no other car was available. The lady at the counter was surly and inflexible, and seemed to know nothing about the insurance we'd purchased through kayak or that such a thing even existed - and placed a large hold on our account because we didn't also purchase Avis insurance. The car was dirty and barely held our modest amount of luggage for three people, and (as aforementioned) was a real driving challenge for me.8.4 Very good

Mar 2017
Pros:
I'm 6'6" (two meters) and the Kia Picanto is roomy beyond belief. You can put two of me in the front, another in the back and sill have room for a very short person. We'd have no room for luggage and roll backwards down uphills, but still, very roomy. Why that car has a 5th gear is beyond me.Cons:
They really put the fear of god hard sell on you at the counter to get the insurance, which I repeatedly declined. A couple checking in at the same time said they had purchased the insurance when they made the reservation and were told that what they had purchased was no good and that they would need to buy additional coverage now. That's pretty shameful. I returned the car on a day when it had rained. When you think about what time to you need to be at the airport, you factor in time to clear security, time to clear customs, time to clear baggage check and check in and time to drop the car off. You don't budget time for arguing with the rental return person about the phantom scratches that they have found and are charging you for but will not show you (the one they did show me was I was able to wipe off. Mud, not a scratch, but she would not change the report), and I think they know that ad prey on that.2.0 Poor
Feb 2017
Cons:
We did not pick up the car at any time. Before we left the U.S., I could not get any info from Kayak as to where the pick up would be. I called Avis & they told me a shuttle van would take me to the parking lot after checking in @ the Avis counter. The Avis counter @ the Curacao airport had no record of the rental & told me my rental location was @ least 20 minutes away by taxi. I had no way to contact Kayak & rented a car from Budget. This does not mean I will not rent from Kayak in the future, but due to wrong information I feel due a full refund if my account has been charged.6.0 Okay

Sixt no longer operate at the provided pick up place. THE contact telephone number is not in service. THE Suzuki jeep is a 2017 model and had travelled just under 35,000 km. It was worn inside with carpeting tha is loose, a hole in the driver's seat and sea salt stains on front seats. The plastic door panels were old and had ingrained dirt. Also the alloy spare wheel which was fastened to the rear door by three nuts. There was no locking device, so this could be easily stolen. The staff informed that this was how it came from the manufacturer and if stolen I would need to pay $400 US. I shall not rent another vehicle from Sixt.10.0 Wonderful
