Toyota car rentals in Santa Cruz

Originally we hired a Tesla, I recieved a call a few weeks out and was advised that their shipment of Tesla's wasn't coming so instead I would be getting a Toyota Corrola or similar. I asked if there was a better option for the same price as in terms of comfort and style, the Corolla wasn't quite at the same level as a Tesla. I was told "no" that was my only option. In the end, we were given a KIA Cerento Hatch, which is worse than a Corolla in terms of style if toy ask me. Practical, but small, for 4 people with luggage, will not be doing that again.

Antonio, when I picked up my car noticed my return location was not correct and he made an adjustment. I would not have noticed that. I am very grateful that he did that. Thank you.

Easy pick up and drop off was great.

Car wasn’t super clean- which is fine we have definitely rented worse. Clerk wasn’t happy that we booked 3rd party and discussed how it impact their job to make it harder by having to enter information provided by renter- then Tried to add on 1200 worth of insurance- wasn’t happy when I declined and argued about it. Girl that was there when we returned was very monotone and irritated with myself and previous customer

When we arrived there were two clerks who moved slower than molasses on a January morning. The gentleman at the Budget counter was argumentative and rude. The lady was a bit more with it but disinterested in helping very much. We were in St. Louis because my partner was dying, my son and I needed to get there as soon as possible. We reached out to the online provider, and they were very helpful. I am so glad they were able to assist us in changing the reservation and obtaining the rental vehicle. I will not use Dollar services again.

I accidentally went to the wrong pickup location and they were kind enough to drive the car to me saving me another cab fare. They also dropped me off at the water taxi after I returned, all free of charge. Can't say enough good things about this location!

Staff were generally nice. The car was very dirty at pickup and I never received a receipt at drop off.

Good price, good car, easy!

Upon pickup I found the tank just above empty. When I mentioned it to the gate/checkout attendant he said he had listed it as such and I could return it empty. I did so and received a revised bill with a gas charge applied. I’ve applied for a refund but have to see that reversed. Brian

Everything was great

👍

They gave me the wrong car said it was a 4 by4 and over charged and I had to argue and prove from Jeep dealer it wasnt to get a charge.

The overall was experience was terrible. The price quoted for the rental was correct. They quoted me $16.88/ per day for insurance but charged me more than $70.00/ day. The contract is all in Spanish, so it is hard to determine what the charge is. I found out when I check my card statement. I immediately went to the office in Merida to resolve it but was told they (1) did not understand English well enough, and (2) they could not do anything about it. The car was high milage, the sides and rear of the car were scratched, the interior seating was badly stained and dirty. they said they had no better vehicle available. I will not do business with Payless ever again. I also question the value of using Kayak in the future. Note, I insure to two late model vehicles for about the same amount over 6 month period then they charged for 15 days. This should be a crime.

The price is very good but it takes a long time to deliver the car

Kayak sold me an insurance policy that Payless said was worthless and would not honor it unless I made a $3000.00 us dollar deposit with them. I feel Kayak should have known this and not pushed their insurance. I also feel I should have been alerted to the price of insurance at Payless ($775.00)us.Eric
