They offer only old cars with tires about to explode and they charge as if it was a luxury car, I am pretty sure the cars they are offering are the cars from the same staff working there….I wouldn’t recommend anyone to rent here….its ridiculous!Reviewed Apr 23 2025

The employee at the desk was very friendly, even though she had to handle many customers, and she worked hard to get me the car that I had originally been offered, I will definitely use this car rental company again, and refer them to othersReviewed Apr 16 2025

The vehicle was fine, but my $140 reservation ended up being $504 by the time they added all the "mandatory fees". They refused to accept my insurance. It's one thing to have a few taxes or roadside assistance to pay, but the final cost was more than triple what I was quoted!Reviewed Apr 10 2025

Kayak/Expedia issued the car to be picked up in Mexico. Payless kindly helped me rent a car in San Diego but I was charged in excess of what I should have paid.Reviewed Apr 3 2025

Charged an extra $600 at the time of pickup which was not told to us in our confirmation. And we had 3 kids with us so no way of finding another vehicle. Horrible customer service. Would never use again.Reviewed Apr 1 2025
