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

The SUV we got was dirty and had big dent in the hood. I took pictures at pick up to make sure I had these damages documented. The inside was not clean- my 2 year old got In and while I was putting the baby in the car he found someone’s used chap stick and started putting it on his lips. I was not impressed. If I wasn’t traveling with my 4 kids (3 of them 4 and under) I would have went back into the office to ask for a different vehicle.Reviewed Mar 31 2025
