We arrived later than expected because of the airlines, but the customer service people stayed and we had our car ready.

Our car was filthy, had a lot of blood stains all over, we felt so uncomfortable driving the car, if there are blood stains that means the car didn’t get cleaned. Our tires was bald and we didn’t feel safe driving. Seems like their cars are not maintained. It’s not safe to drive a car with tires that are very thin. Very disappointed with our rental, to think we’re in a different country and we want to make sure we feel safe.

The first car I received was unfortunately, difficult to drive because the transmission was subpar. I called the rental office and they immediately told me that they could give me a different car. The second car I received was much better and I had no problems with it during the month of rental.

Easy as can be for pick-up and drop-off. We had a tire go low and just drove it in and they put a new tire on immediately. Highly recommend!

Despite sending a confirmation email the day before my rental, Budget did not honor the reservation. In other words, they had no car to rent me, making up some lame excuse that when I made my online reservation, it was "after hours," and that "the server" sent the confirmation email automatically. The manager, an unsympathetic soul named Elgene actually suggested he might be able to get me a car at another car rental but I might have to pay alot more because Budget would not honor my guaranteed rate.

The car rental company overbooked the office. Despite that, confirmation emails were sent repeatedly - the last one 24 hours before the pickup. When arriving at the office (by taxi) I was told that there is no car available, and no alternatives or compensation could be offered. In the end the booking can be regarded as "cheap talk" and ended up costing me money for absolutely nothing in return.

I made a reservation through your site and there was no car when I got there. I am under the impression that the entire point of your business is to make reservations as I have never seen a plane, hotel, or car with “Kayak.com” printed anywhere on these things making you guys a 3rd party reservation company. If your only business is to make it easier for me to compare prices and then make a reservation, and then the reservation is not honored by the company’s you partner with it would seem to me that in reality you do very little to make travelers lives easier and, in fact make them much more complicated when people arrive at their destination in some foreign country and have to battle with their phones in attempts to correct the very thing you claim to be the primary reason for your businesses existence. I would get it if say I tried to book tennis lessons through kayak as I have never seen tennis lessons offered through kayak but when it comes to flights, hotels, and cars I would have assumed you had that dialed in. Apparently I was wrong. Think about it for a second or two.

There are NO signs in front of the Aruba airport to direct you to Payless. Nothing whatsoever to direct you to the building next to the airport that only has Payless in it along with a hotel. Even calling the 800 number they had no idea where the offices were located. Only after going to Budget did they know where the Payless office was located.

Agents were nice and helpful. We picked up days into our trip so far and drop off would have been helpful. Confirmation email did not include exact location for pick up or a contact number so we went to the wrong location at first.

We had reserved a car for pick up near our hotel and were then told the pick up was available only at the airport location. We then proceeded to pay for a taxi to the airport only to be told, after waiting in line for 45 minutes that they gave our reservation to the gentleman in front of us in line. I asked the agent what the point of booking a reservation, only to be told that it is first come, first served. She also said we were late for pick up. Pick up was at 10:30am, we arrived at 10:15 and had we not had to wait in line behind the person that later received our rental we would have arrived in plenty of time. Very disappointed, poor service and a waste of $65 dollars as we then had to pay for a taxi back to our hotel.

Avoid Payless. Upon arrival we were bluntly told they ‘had no cars’ ‘were overbooked and could not do anything for us’ When reminded of their responsibility to honor the reservation the representative gruffly told us that they could not hire from another company. There we were stranded at the airport with kids. Very unprofessional, very rude, and unfortunately quite in character. We had to find an alternative rental on our own for double the price.

The car was just the right size and it was very clean.

The drop-off was difficult because there was no where to park and there were no Enterprise attendants outside to provide assistance. Otherwise my overall experience with Enterprise was very good.

The gentleman at the car rental agency taught us how to load our car with luggage. We needed him to do it again on our return.

Too many extraneous charges and deposits up front that we didn't know about. They were waived upon return of the car, but a $361+ rental agreement came with deposits totaling $942+. That's one way to give a senior citizen heart failure.

The total charge quoted to me was $221.02 for a 9-day rental. I had phoned Thrifty when I had made the reservation to inquire where the car pickup location is, and the representative stated that he believed it was the kiosk at the airport. Even the copy of the reservation stated "Free Shuttle To Car". However, when I checked in at the airport kiosk, they stated that the pickup for the vehicle was offsite from the airport, that they did not provide a shuttle to the offsite location, and that I would have to take a taxi to the pickup point. They claimed that the statement in the reservation copy that I produced at check-in was no longer in effect and that it was shown there in error. Instead, the offered to have me pick up a vehicle at the airport, but that I would have to pay an additional $24.91 USD + tax for "Airport Fee", which raised my total rental fee to $246.40 USD, an increase of $25.38 USD. I was not in a position to seek a taxi at that time, so I reluctantly agreed to accept the additional airport charge. Other competitive car rental firms that I've used for many prior years all offer free airport shuttle to offsite pickup and drop-off locations. If I had known this beforehand, I would likely have rented elsewhere who also quoted me competitive rates. Although I have rented from Thrifty a few times in the past without issues and was satisfied with their rentals, this time I feel I was a victim of erroneous advertising and a misleading claim of a bargain rate.

Explicitly asked the people at the counter and customer service on the phone if my girlfriend can return the car since she was listed as a driver. I checked with them 3 times and each time they said it would not be an issue as long as she was a driver. When she went to return the car they gave her a very hard time about it stating that I would need to be there since it was under my name. I wouldn't mind being there to return the car, but I had to work and we were told she could do it. I really don't like being lied to.
