4.0 Mediocre
KAYAK
We pre-booked 2 front-facing carseats for our little ones (ages 2 and 3) in a medium-sized car (I had to call after we booked online as there wasn't an option to book more than one car seat). When we arrived to the rental place, they did not have any info of me requesting 2 carseats. The price of the medium sized car shown online was not the same rate it was in person and you get a smaller car than advertised. They didn't have any carseats for us and was told "you'll be fine, you're on the island no one uses carseats here". Prepare for no carseats or bring your own!

Great staff Almost new jeep Super easy pick up and drop off They already had the full coverage I got while booking
2.0 Poor
KAYAK
The pick-up and drop-off process felt never-ending. During the pick-up, I asked for a later drop-off (+2 hours), because I already knew I wouldn’t be able to return the car on time. I was told it was fine and that I could come later. However, when I returned the car just one hour late, they still charged me for an extra day. On top of that, they had the wrong address in their reservation system and even in Google Maps, so I spent about an hour trying to find the branch before the pick-up.

Horrible experience!!!! The local Thrifty office would not honor the reservation as they told me they didn't have cars. However, I was told that if I booked directly now, they had cars available but the price was 3x the price for the same car! Total scam. I can't believe Thrifty is allowed to conduct themselves this way.
2.0 Poor
KAYAK
Extremely disappointed! The vehicle the gave me - SUCKED! It gave me terrible GAS MILEAGE! It was a jeep and EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE VEHICLE!!! It gave me 15mpg! That’s not the car I requested to rent through Kayak!!!!!! I requested an economical car! I demand they give me 100% refund! I’m not sure who to blame; should I avoid this rental company or should I avoid using Kayak?
