The car was nice and drove well. It had an odor which smelled like a dog. The key battery went dead after 2 days and the change oil warning came on during all 5 days.

The parking lot attendant (Rafael) was very helpful. That is where the positive comments stop. Our first car was dirty, the driver seat was broken, gas tank was only 3/4 full and we had to bring it back our 4th week due to the engine light coming on. It was also very low on wiper fluid when originally picked up. This was definitely not worth $2200.00 for the month and I will be looking elsewhere next time.

We usually book our rental vehicle through the airline we are traveling with. I’m so glad we used to kayak this time. We saved a lot of money, and got upgraded at the counter to a nicer vehicle.

Agents at airport counter did not want to honor my luxury SUV category status that I rented. They tried to trade me down to a midsize SUV despite my reservation booking clearly stating luxury SUV. I had paid more for it! We ended up getting what we had reserved but it seemed to me they tried to take the easy route and switch on us. This was my only complaint. Everything else was very good.

Enterprise made everything easy, from checking in, picking up the car and dropping it off. I went through Priceline and chose Enterprise. I saved a lot of money doing that. Also, we picked up our car at a local airport, even though we were not flying anywhere. That brought the price down as well. Enterprise is always my preferred rental car company.

Horrible! It took over two hours to get the car at a small airport. They tried to give me a car that was not even comparable to what I rented. So the second car they gave me the check engine light was on. So I ended up getting a third car. A few days into the rental. The check engine light came on.

A car, any car, would have been great. No car was provided. Zero customer service or care for the customer. The counter person, Thomas, there wasn’t any cars available despite my advanced reservation. The worst ever experience; had to take Uber to ride 1.5 hrs to my hotel.

The pickup line was hours long. My time is worth money. Everybody wants to save, but when it takes half a day to get your rental, I’d rather pay more.

The worst experience my family has ever had. Never sent a pickup shuttle to the airport for us. Then rented our car and two other family's cars to other people, then claimed they were out of cars. Left us stuck with no rental options close by. Then washed their hands of all of us and said better luck next time. DO NOT book through this company.

I rented to have unlimited mileage. When i got to the rental desk, I was told that there was a 150 mile limit per day, and car could not be taken out of state. The rental agent said these terms were "in the fine print," he said the rental confirmation was not controlling, that I should have read the "fine print." This was deception. Very unhappy, in fact I'm researching who I can complain to in legal authority. Needless to say, I will never use Kayak again. You guys are cheats and liars.
