The rude worker at the counter made us uncomfortable. He told us multiple things that were untrue in an effort to get us to pay for a more expensive vehicle and to purchase additional options and insurance.Reviewed Dec 1 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

When I arrived at the rental counter, it was closed for the night. I ended up not being able to rent a car from them. I was clear with my arrival time and my flight info. It was given no notification that they wouldn’t be open.Reviewed Mar 21 2025

We reserved a rav-4 "or simmilar" and they gave us a Kia soul. It looked like a toaster on wheels. It was in no way similar to a rav 4.Reviewed Feb 11 2025

Check out agent was efficient & friendly. I was impressed by how fast the check out was. That should be the number one priority for all rental car companies. Nice work!!Reviewed Feb 3 2025

It was a few dollars cheaper but I paid dearly for it. The rental was booked for pick up at 6 AM. Arrived to find the office doesn’t open til 7 AM. During the 3 day rental the hubcap fell off. Discovered it was barely attached and previously broken. Spent several hours of my vacation repairing the hubcap with epoxy and then was worried it would fall off again and I would have to pay some exorbitant amount for the repair. Learned a lesson for sure never to use Payless again.Reviewed Jan 31 2025
