Was expecting and had originally booked a Mercedes G class. Dollar had given me a Minivan. Also, was asked to buy additional insurance besides what I had paid with Kayak booking.

Gas tank wasn't full at pickup. I returned the tank full as the agreement called for in the rental agreement. They failed to credit me the extra cost for gas I paid for. The "Due For Service" light remained on during the 5-day rental period.

I was charged a bunch of things that I didn't even know I was signing for I rented a car that cost me over $800 for 4 days all because I asked for a car with a GPS in it and this is the only one they had available. I cannot afford this now I'm in debt

They got my name wrong on the rental and They charged the wrong amount on my credit card.
Awful. Save yourself stress and rent from another company besides Budget and Avis. Had a reservation and waited an hour in their line to get to the counter to be told they had no car for me. Waited 2 more hours with little kids after flying all day to be given a complete junker, literally, with half the handle missing and electrical wires hanging out near the foot pedals. Awful, awful, the staff were horrible too. Will never rent from them again.

There was nothing to like. I made a reservation the morning before and when I got to the airport there were no cars left. What's the point of making a reservation if they aren't going to honor it??? NEVER WILL TRY TO USE THEM AGAIN.

Everything was great with the exception that I was given a car with low tire pressure on the front left tire. That was an issue during my journey.

The child/infant car seat options were not great (understandable) and many were broken. I had to sort through quite a few to find a decent one. Other than that it was a great experience. Thank you.

contract makes it hard to tell which number you should call if you need to change, also they use "extend" for any change even if the end date is moved up
I loved the people who worked at the rental car facility. They were amazing and very helpful and friendly. It was pleasant experience. I’m grateful for everyone who worked there. Thanks,

The whole experience was great. From booking, to shuttling from the airport, car pickup, drop off and the whole staff along the way. The only reason I didn’t give a higher rating is because the car I received was a literal POS. I was embarrassed to even be seen with it.

Picking up the car was incredibly smooth. I was afraid I would have to sit there waiting on the shuttle for a long time but both times it was ready to go. Bus drivers were very friendly and funny. Getting my car took ten minutes max and dropping it off took 5 minutes. Everything went much better than expected. The car was clean and perfect for my needs. All in all a great rental experience.

Due to several flight changes by no fault of my own, I had to cancel my trip hours before I was to pick up the car. I tried desperately calling from the airport but the person could not find my Payless confirmation number in her system. It wasn't until the next day that I was able to call the Payless office and it was too late then. Please do penalize the Payless facility but I won't be using Kayak again with the no refund policy.

Completely ruined start of our vacation. I had a reservation and even checked in online with Avis before our flight, supposedly securing the rental with my credit card. When we landed at midnight and went to the car rental shuttle the buss pulled up and a man saying he was the manager met us at the door saying there was no reason to go to their lot, be ause corporate had rerouted their cars and they had no cars at all on their lot. He said they would be restocked with cars by 4am and we could come by after that. We ended up paying for an extra night in a hotel (since we already had paid for the one we couldn't get to) and then getting a car in the morning, which made us miss half a day of our vacation. When we got there in the morning there was a huge lot full of cars. I don't believe for a second that they all showed up that morning at 4am. I certainly will be going elsewhere to get a car from now on if that is how they operate.

Line was way too long - would have taken well over an hour- so we had to bail and Uber to our destination. Heard the same from others who have had the same problems at RDU Avis. Won’t go back.

Helpful to know where the nearest gas station to the airport was located. I had to go back 3 miles to gas up.
The car was 4,000 miles over due on an oil change. All tire pressure was low. The keys were underneath the seat at pick up as if someone just threw them in there. There was trash in the glove compartment leftover from the previous driver.

My main problem was the drop off. Had not even finish parking when the guys checking the car were already all over opening the doors, causing me of damage the car (it was their own sticker, no damage). Trying to pick of my things and they are rushing me. I had to call them out and ask to please step out to let me finish parking and getting my things. Very uncomfortable experience
