The counter personnel provided me the wrong size of car and told me that it did not matter what u reserved. I reserved a mid size car ( Toyota corola) was given a Mitsubishi mirage hatchback.Reviewed Mar 16 2026

I booked an SUV through Kayak, my confirmation email from Kayak said SUV. However Payless said my reservation was for an Economy car and they would not provide me with an SUV. Never using Kayak/Payless again.Reviewed Jan 20 2026

After reading reviews that mentioned unscrupulous business practices, I decided to rent elsewhere despite having prepaid for my rental.Reviewed Jan 10 2026

The staff were good, no problems. The car I was given was the problem. It is the worst car I have driven in 40 years: noisy, poor visibility, sound system rudimentary. (Mitsubishi vehicle). All my friends and family and even on of their neighbors who walked by laughed and made derogatory comments when they saw me in it. Maybe it was bad luck? Who knows PS I drive a 12 year old VW so I am probably not a spoiled brat.Reviewed Dec 31 2025

Kayak said it would be a Toyota RAV4 or similar when I made the reservation but when I went to pick up, they didn’t carry any Toyota’s and if I wanted something “similar” it would be considered an upgrade so I had to pay extra just to get what I thought I was already getting. Very frustrating and disappointed! Will never rent from Payless again!!!!Reviewed Dec 29 2025

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
