Pros:

I was given a free upgrade car. 2021 GMC. Also I saved an additional 70$ upon arrival. Overall I would recommend kayak

Cons:

A Gas filled car. Upon arrival they did not have a fueled vehicle ready. I had to refill myself. But at the return of the rental I had the option to bring it back the way I picked it up. So good thing is I didn’t have to refill before drop off.

Pros:

Everything went smoothly even during these unprecedented times. Everyone was friendly and professional. There was a slight hiccup with pricing, but they honored the price I was quoted online when I showed them without any hassle.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

I reserved by vehicle for 12pm noon and arrived at 12:05pm to find the location closed. Kayak didn't give me any notification that I would have to arrive earlier than noon if I expected to get a car. It caused a huge logistical headache for my trip and I won't be booking cars through Kayak again.

I arrived to the rental office for it to be locked and closed at 5:20pm, when advertised to be open til 6pm. There was a temporary sign outside saying they’re suddenly closed this week at 5pm but no communication. I was stranded and had to find new accommodation when any communication would’ve been appreciated.
