When collecting the car at the Rental Counter, the queue was 45 minutes- too long in my view

Horrible dropoff experience in Philly. No signage explaining what to do. Pulled into lanes that looked like a place for cars to be left. There were a few people outside that saw me arrive but did nothing to help and quickly disappeared. Went inside to the counter and waiting in line for a while... only to finally get to the front and be told "oh you just have to leave the keys in the car and you can go." Terrible.
Avis staff was helpful, price was good. The location is a little confusing if you do not know the area.

Person at drop-off claiming to be the owner of the location - he did NOT give me his name - was incredibly intense and rude about having the car cleaned before drop off. The car was clean - we only used it for 6 hours - but he insisted we get it fully washed or we would be charged $450. As I tried to show how clean it was by pulling out the car mats, he touched me to pull me back from the car and told me to get off his lot. It was a terrible and intense 15 min experience and I believe I was trying to be taken advantage of (other people at drop off felt the same way). I eventually just asked for my receipt and he told me he wouldnt charge me the $450 after all. I think there may be some sort of scam (in concert with the carwash) going on or there is just something very different about this location. I will NEVER rent from there again and I may never rent from Avis again because of this experience.
After making the reservation on line, I went in person to the office to add an additional day to the rental. After waiting in line for 30 minutes at an office in downtown Boston staffed by a single person (the rare office not out at the airport), the person in the office did this and quoted me a price which was essentially the same as the initial quote with one more day at the same daily rate. When I went later to print the rental information which was emailed to me I discovered that the price had gone up by 35% (for taking a 9 day rental to a 10 day rental) with an increase in both the base rate and the daily rate. After close to an hour on the phone with unhelpful customer service, I cancelled the rental and went to Enterprise instead — a price comparable the original quote from Hertz, with an office staffed by multiple people eager to be helpful. An experience which will shift my loyalty in the future.

I booked a reservation and was not told that the location CLOSED at 4:00 on Saturday! My train didn’t get in until after 4:00. It cost me several HUNDRED DOLLARS to get a car at the airport.

Tried to rent me a Tesla, but where we were going did not have easy access to charging stations, then had to pay to “upgrade” to a lower class gasoline car. This was not requested or mentioned in reservation, but what can you do. I tried calling to change my vehicle drop off location to another near by location and customer service was poor, lady barely spoke English and could not understand what I was asking. I basically gave up. The car was otherwise fine.

The location in downtown Boston instead of airport was the worst possible location. Traffic in Boston made it difficult to reach your office. Staff at office was good. Car was dirty when picked up.

Thrifty charged me two hours extra even though I returned the car on time because their attendant waited to check the car back in. When I contacted customer service, the original rep said I needed to provide proof of my return time. I had no proof bc the attendant didn’t give me paperwork, just took the key and said I was all set. I asked them to check their security cameras to see that I had returned the car EARLIER than my return time. The whole thing felt scammy. I won’t use this location again.

I was charged for fuel despite being assured that (since the fuel tank was not full when I collected the car) I would not need to return it with a full tank.
Everything was good, but I didn’t get an email receipt after returning the car. I usually get one within 24 hours.

You guys screwed me. I specifically asked for a car at Logan airport and your dumb app reserved a car for me in downtown Boston. Got to the airport and there was no car. No number to call to straighten it out. So I had to rent a car at the airport and paid double. Needless to say I was not happy. I will not be using Kayak again.
Company did not honor reservation due to me not having a credit card

The price was good. The Payless counter to pickup our rental did not exist; there was only a single very small sign at the beginning of a long queue leading up to Avis and Budget counters, all very confusing. Our vehicle was not available so the agent (Avis) gave us an upgraded vehicle at same price. The association of Payless with these other rental companies remains a mystery. Returning the vehicle was confusing as we were told to leave the key in the vehicle but nothing else. I asked a worker about this and he said we would get an email, but never got one. Seems communication on returning vehicle is rather poor.

Waited 2 hours in Boston. Long line. Person who helped had never done a Payless Rental. Fouled up paperwork. First car she gave me she told me to go to wrong car spot and wrong car there. Next car I was given a man was sitting in it and said he had also rented it. Third car something was wrong acne wouldn’t take my charger so 4th car was a dud. The entire rental time messages about routine maintenance needs to be done and collusion light kept beeping after repeated cleanings of windshield. No button to open and close trunk. I rented a midsize and this Outlander was definitely on small size. At checkout I was told Ivwoukd get a refund discount but that never showed in final receipt. Didn’t line car. Too basic if features. Car play would never work On the screen could only listen on phone. Totally disgusted for the amount of money I spent!!!!!!
