I went to pick up the car at my scheduled time, they said if you want to wait we have to wash and clean the car or you can take this other car. I did not want to wait so I took with cigarette burn holes and half a tank of gas in it car. When I got to me destination 4 hours away it seemed like it was running funny. On friday I broke down at a gas station and after waiting 2 hours for a tow truck that never caim and I had to call again and they said another 1/2 hour which they said I would need to talk to my local rep to discuss the fee for the service. The Enterprise rep did not offer to swap out the car but only if I broke down again while driving back home at night 4 hours away! I had someone help me and got me on the road. I was supposed to drop off the car on Saturday but I did not want to chance it not starting again so I dropped it off in the middle of the night on Friday with a note . No call from the Local Enterprise to discuss all that happened!

Do not use Kayak. I searched for a car rented at the Tampa Airport. I chose a rental. Turns out that Kayak rerouted my rental reservation to a remote location 25 miles from the airport - and that closed at 3 PM. That was a double problem when the plane was delayed by weather and I arrived in Tampa at close to 5 PM. My $350 reservation ended up costing ma $1000 in order to rent at the airport. You read that right. Same car. Same Avis rental. I will NEVER use Kayak again for anything. Never.

When we arrived at Tampa airport to pick up our car, the was about 3 hours long and barely moving. There were limited employees working. This also happened to me last year at the St. Louis airport. While standing in the Avis line, I got on my phone and reserved a vehicle with Thrifty for a cheaper price. I walked over to the Thrifty counter and had my vehicle in 20 minutes. While standing in the line, I tried to reach Avis by phone, but that was impossible. I am sure that the phones were off the hook. I was eventually able to cancel online, but by that time it was after my check in time, so Avis is still charging me $50 for a no show. Do yourself a favor, and avoid Avis/Budget no matter what. I am sure that I am not the only one feeling the impact of their horrendous business practices.

For context, I travel for my job and I rent a lot of cars. Please avoid this rental location and Budget as a rule. This rental location was some fly by night outfit that has no quality control with their vehicles and I honestly felt unsafe with the car provided, and went elsewhere. The rental office was filthy and smelled awful. One person working who didn’t know about inventory and realized they had one car left. They hand me keys and I walk to car. It was covered in bird poop. I open door and it was filthy. Stain covered seats, dirty floors etc. They don’t even clean cars or check for safety issues between customers! The vehicle was clearly not cared for and no way was I risking my family’s safety in that tin can on wheels. I returned keys and found another location and rental. Kayak should not be offering this rental company as an option as it’s a full on liability. Avoid for your own safety.

I rent cars a lot for work travel. This location was downright frightening and shady. The office was dirty and smelly, which is okay otherwise, but they didn’t even seem to know what cars were available or what condition. They randomly gave me a key for one car they had left. I go to this car and it’s covered in bird poop all over and the inside was filthy and has stain covered seats. The car didn’t appear to be safe or taken car of. Avoid this location. I won’t book on kayak again for a car as this place was not safe. I refused the car and went elsewhere.

I reserved a pickup in the internet. When I showed up to pick it up there was no pickup. This caused me a lot of problems. If they didn’t have a pickup they should not have allowed me to reserve one. Staff was rude

The car wasn’t ready for pickup because of late returns, we waited almost an hour. When returning vehicle at 3:00 pm notice of returning in one hour and no Dropbox but slid key and return note under door but all worked out and the price was good and staff were very friendly. Would use again.
