Lengthy pick up process. Would be good to have parking nearby for those driving to collect a rental. A lot of hidden costs

The lady at the pickup was very unhelpful for the insurance options. She made us worried although we have coverage. We almost done double insurance with charging $51 per day

This was my first time renting a car, and besides the wait to pick up a car at the beginning, I had a very easy time as a first time car renter. Customer service was very nice at pickup and drop off and for the car I got, the price was very reasonable.

Our initial car had a mechanical/electrical issue with the driver’s door. We were able to exchange cars at another facility. There was also a billing error which was corrected when we returned the car at the airport. They made it good in the end.

The first car I received was infested with Ants. I didn't realize that until I was way down the road. I called and the allowed me to return it. No problem which was great. It did mess up up my schedule while I was there as I didn't account for returning a vehicle. The customer service was great.

Just needed a little more explanation on charges since I bought insurance through kayak and it seems like they charge me again. Also, it would be nice if the counter people are aware of the type of car that is in inventory. That is, know the features. I upgraded since I was told there is apple car play in the car so I can use the GPS. Apparently, there isn't.

Quite roomy Soul Kia. Liked that I could put down the back seats and carry a bunch of goodies to a wedding site.
The clerk was very friendly, personable and attentive. But, as he was claiming the vehicle we agreed upon, someone else in the system claimed before he could. Instead of telling me this, he assigned me a different car we didn't discuss. We were heading to a graduation, & I didn't have time to go downstairs and get a different car. I had my elderly parents with me, & the car we got was uncomfortable. We were not happy, & the right thing to do is to train your people to be honest with clients, and do your best to meet their needs.

This was worst rental car experience I've ever had. I would never use Dollar again and I will not rent a car through Kayak again. First, they said they didn't have a car. Then, they tried to double charge me when I had already paid upfront. They wouldn't let me pay the deposit using debit card, and even after I told them I paid for the car in advance, they charged me an additional $38 for some type of fee, so I paid nearly $100 to rent a compact vehicle for 1 day! They also made me wait over an hour for a vehicle and I was not the only one! Look online: All the reviews are horrible! They tried to say people stole the cars! Obvious lie! There is security to get in and out of there. No way. Absolute nightmare! Don't use this company, and don't use kayak. I paid for the car upfront for a reason. I should've only had to pay a deposit in addition.
