June 2019
Pros:
The vehicle was clean and gas was full.Cons:
The agent didn't answer questions well. I was made to feel inferior because my credit card was also debit. Actually getting the vehicle was not a nice experience. It was far from the office and instructions were unclear. There was also no way for me to check the vehicle and point out issues.4.8 Mediocre

The company advertises unlimited mileage, however the rentals have major mileage restrictions. Rentals can only be driven locally and the rate is $.99/mile after 200 miles.8.8 Very Good

Apr 2016
Cons:
Pacific charged me twice as much as they estimated on Kayak. If that had been the extent of it, I may have left it alone. The day after I returned my car, however, the manager called to tell me that there is a "new scratch" on the front bumper. The car they rented to me was already scratched up, so I assumed he had gotten something confused and I could simply send the pictures I had snapped of the car before driving away from the lot. He sent me pictures of a car I'm not convinced is the car I rented, with a big scratch in the bumper, and asked that I have my lawyer call him. I have never felt so mistreated by a company. I'm certain that I had nothing to do with a scratch in the car I rented, and after consulting Yelp I noticed that Pacific has pulled this same stunt with at least one other customer. Do yourself a favor and stay far away.6.4 Okay
Apr 2016
Pros:
Not busy. Car was there, ready to go.Cons:
Car was old and had a lot of miles. It sounded as if it needed a tune up. Car had lots of scratches and dings. Didn't like that I had to catch a bus from the airport, a rental car center, then take another van to their rental place- added another layer of traveling around and loading/ unloading.Rent-4-Less
