Great experience. I had rented my car at an obscure location somewhere near the airport. They helped me out at the airport location and rented me a car there. They matched the prices as well. Checkout was also seamless. Would rent again here.Reviewed 24 Jul 2026

The agent at the desk could not have been more annoyed that I had rented from Payless (vs. Avis or Budget). She says they do everything by paper, so they don't actually have the cars in stock that Kayak rented to me. She was incredibly rude. And that was after the terrible surprise of arriving at an airport I use all the time to find that they've moved their rental cars off-site and didn't have enough buses to shuttle people there, so everyone was shoving each other -- in IOWA!! Terrible experience, won't do it again.Reviewed 17 Jul 2026

Watch out!!!! They lure you with cheap prices and when you arrive at the airport they show you that the reservation was cancelled to then rip you off with a high price. DON´T BOOK at Payless. Besides, when you return the car, they come up with extraordinarily high toll fees, which aren´t real. When you ask about the proof, they turn very aggressive and rude. Don´t pay them and ask for a receipt with an accurate breakdown. One month after I am still waiting for it. NEVER AGAIN!!!Reviewed 24 Jun 2026
