William, Dec 2019

KAYAK

Pros:

I felt like a star ⭐️ or maybe ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ renting from this Avis. The clerk who issued my car was very knowledgeable in local amenities and optimal rental features. I walked up to my car and couldn’t believe I was riding in style. The American compact is much bigger than the European style I was expecting. Car was very modern, all the bells and whistles. Made my travels around Montgomery a pleasure.

Cons:

Adding pickup/return to the parking signs. Only because I was a little uncertain if I should park the same place I picked up. But when I couldn’t find any better guidance I just went for it and it worked out

8.8 Very good

Anonymous, Dec 2019

KAYAK

Pros:

The staff at MGM Airport was friendly, efficient and very helpful. I liked the car, in general. The access to the car rental parking for pick up and drop off is very convenient.

Cons:

The Tire pressure light went on soon after we picked up the rental. This has happened now with the last 3 cars that I have rented from various agencies in different parts of the world, so I did not panic as when it happened the first time, however it did mean personal time taken away from my day to keep checking the tire pressure. The interior of the car smelled like previous renters had smoked in it. I know that isn't Avis' fault and they now have a document to sign for smokers. As a non-smoker however, getting into a smelly car is unpleasant.

Allowed me to confirm a one-way rental online, then when I arrived at the kiosk and showed the clerk my reservation, I was told there was no car available. Too bad, so sad. Bye bye.

Nice that an employee, Willie, met me as I returned the car. As I told him, my only problem with the rental car was that it had four charging ports and not one of them was a standard USB connector. All C type charging, which i don’t use. So my phone kept dying because i couldn’t charge it.

Pros:

the woman at the counter was very nice and pretty efficient. Drop off was quick and easy as well

Cons:

They didn't honor the price that I was quoted. It should have been $165 and instead they charged me. about $30 more. Said some baloney about the airport fees not being added in. The price said it already included taxes and fees. When you are standing at the check out counter needing your car, they have you over a barrel. I'm sure that that is their plan. What can you do? You have to have a car, you are in a city that is not your hometown and you have no choice but to pay. Not a very honest way to conduct business

The first car we got was infested with ants. We had to return it for another one. That car wasn’t the cleanest, but at least it wasn’t infested with ants. The girl at the check in desk was super nice and accommodating. I just wish budget would clean the inside of their cars between customers.

It’s exceptionally frustrating to book a reservation, speak to someone on-site, and pay to Uber to pick-up the vehicle only to be told one is not available that day. Such a waste of time. It’s more fault of the rental company than Kayak, however Kayak need to be aware of such issues if they are going to continue partnering with those companies.
