Worst experience with their desk person Jackie and her manager Dana. We got there at 8:40am for our 9am pickup and did not get our car until past 11am. And the attitude of both of them was the worst. Incompetency at its finest.

My c bc old accidently booked this trip. I immediately called kayak and fox the car rental company. Neither would cancel or let me reschedule. I wasn't even in the the state and it just ended up being wasted money. I feel like i was robbed.
They texted me two days before my reservation saying they didn’t have either of the vans I rented. The manager had the nerve to say on the phone “a reservation isn’t a guarantee”. If it isn’t a guarantee then why would I ever reserve a car with enterprise again? Anyway, it was a major bummer. Had to cancel my whole staff party that we put so much work into planning because I couldn’t find another two 16 passenger vans for a reasonable price. :(

Customer service was very poor and in helpful. Extremely rude .
The overall experience was great! I needed a large truck to buy a piece of furniture for my toddler. The prices at the airport were most affordable but they did not allow me to park my personal vehicle at the rental location for longer than 20 mins! The only solution was to pay for parking at the airport and shuttle back and forth, which was pretty difficult with 2 toddlers and 2 car seats. They were very un-accommodating and delayed my trip by an hour. Other than that, it was a great car!

Drop off was a breeze. Pick up took 3 hours. Manager came out after 2 and a half hours in line. Decided to take people out of line that had made their reservations any day but the same day. The. Created a new line with these customers. Then proceeded to help these customers then once they were helped she disappeared again. She left only two individuals at the front counter helping the rest of a very long line. Extremely poor management.

We arrived at the rental car center at 7:50 pm. We drove away with our car at 10:40 pm. I am sympathetic that Christmas Eve is hard for staffing but it was a miserable wait with only two people serving over 50 customers ahead of us. The worst part though is that while we got a car, we were one of the last ones. I don’t understand how they can’t figure out their inventory and were still making confirmed reservations when they didn’t have enough cars.

Check the vehicle over before next renter. The tank was not full, the back passenger side tire was under inflated and I have had to add air 3 times since rental, and lastly the vehicle had a Florida tag that expired in June 2022. other wise vehicle is comfortable and runs well. I would use Payless again.
They don't inform you ahead nor on morning that if you use a debit card they hold back $500.00 deposit

At the Pick-up line up was like 3rd world country, kind of hurt my vacation's start. Although I explained my needs the staff at pick up paperwork, pursuit me for lots of up-sales. I spent a lot more than my need, definitely never Thrifty anymore. Drop off was fine. Tnx
