Pros: The staff was very friendly. I rented a Jeep Wrangler and received a Honda CRV. I would not have mentioned it, but it was specific that it was a Wrangler to enjoy the environment on this vacation. Our flight was late, so they cancelled the Jeep and gave it to someone else after two hours. Nowhere does it say after two hours your car is cancelled ( I would’ve called if I knew this information). They did not call to confirm.

Pros: Nothing. They didn't answer the phone. Advertised they were open 24/7, but their location was closed when we arrived. We were forced to rent from another rental car company on the spot.Cons: Do not trust Payless. Rent your vehicle from a trusted brand
2.0 Mediocre12 Apr. 2021
Cons: The rental agency was closed during the time that we had selected to pick up the car and had cancelled our reservation by the next morning.
5.6 Okay27 Mar. 2020
Pros: PriceCons: Had to get a $15 cab ride because their shuttle operation. Was not in service. I tried to modify my rental and they did not answer the phone, I dropped off the car and they were not open during their posted hours. Their website said they had no cars available when in reality they were closed for business. I simple phone call could have sufficed. They could have had someone to answer phone calls remotely even if they were closed.
3.2 Mediocre12 Feb. 2020
Pros: The customer service was extremely four and we truly did not like any part of the interaction with Payless car rental.Cons: The customer service representative was extremely rude. We waited literally an hour and a half in line because every customer was taking about a half an hour to process. We were asked to present our entire car insurance policy to the representative in order to rent the car. No one brings their entire insurance policy with them, and they required it which was why the line took so long. I finally had to call my car insurance back in the states and have them send me my entire plan so that I could show the representative. They also forced us to buy a tollway pass for 60 extra dollars because they lied and said that we couldn’t pay with cash to get through the tolls. Worst car rental service I have ever experienced.
3.6 Mediocre9 Feb. 2020
Cons: We were given an estimate of around $90 for our rental and then charged an additional $100 in hidden fees at the counter. It is what they call the “bait and switch” and it felt unquestionably criminal; we are pursuing legal means to recover the double charges!
5.6 Okay3 Feb. 2020
Pros: PriceCons: The pick up process need improvement. It took an hour and 20 minutes to get the car from the time I arrived to the rental place. Also the car need maintenance. The wiper blades were bad and front tires barely had thread.
10.0 Excellent3 Feb. 2020
Cons: Nothing....all was great. They were helpful , pollite , efficiant , clear ...... all personnel were great
6.4 Good1 Feb. 2020
Pros: The vehicle was exactly what we were told we were going to get. Enough room for our family.Cons: Upon arriving, we were surprised to see that the place was NOT at the airport, they had to send a shuttle. When booking it said Payless Car rental was at Luis Munoz International, not the case. Fine. When we got to the location our expected price to pay was not close to what we paid. It was about $80 more. When asking the associate about the extra charges we were unable to get a break down for additional charges. All we were told was additional taxes and fees. But taxes and fees had already been on the estimate. No where on the reservation does it say that we were to be charged additional. Only time under terms and conditions that we were to get charged additional is pick up or drop off at a different time date or location. OR choosing a different vehicle. It is disheartening that this company takes advantage of families this way. Arriving later at night in a island that you don’t know, do you truly have any other option than to abide by their last minute changes? I will not be returning to kayak for future bookings.
4.0 Okay29 Jan. 2020
Cons: They charged a totally different price than agreed upon online when we got there.

2.0 Mediocre8 Dec. 2020
Pros: The person who took care of us when we returned the car was actually nice to us.Cons: Horrible, horrible and I can’t stress this enough, horrible service. Completely disregarded our requests, extremely rude, and lied to get me to agree to pay more because they didn’t have the car I booked )Instead of giving me something similar), the car had a bad smell and the breaks were faulty, i would never ever return here.
3.6 Mediocre29 Jul. 2020
Pros: Shuttle wait was very long, I waited for 48 minutes The totally price when I book was $46 or $56 whn arrived there it went up to $146 that’s just insane minding that I already purchased insurance online. So plus insurance I spent a total of $200 something for something that claimed to be $46... stop advertising liesCons: Be honest and learn time management.

3.6 Mediocre30 Apr. 2019

7.2 Good20 Apr. 2019
Pros: The initial price point was good. The driver who picked us up from the airport was very friendly and funny.Cons: The airport pickup for Dollar is not signed at all...as in NOTHING. It took 20 minutes to get picked up from the airport once we were in the right spot. When we picked up the vehicle they upcharged me for multiple things and didn't put some very obvious damage to the car on the initial papers.

4.0 Okay13 Jun. 2021
Pros: The car was clean and ready and the staff was nice.Cons: The online description says rental car at airport but they actually shuttle you to an offsite location. We had a hard time finding where to go to get the shuttle to the car and that’s frustrating after a long day of flying. There are no signs at the airport that I saw to help. So, that took lots longer than expected. Also, all it said you needed is a drivers license. You need to bring proof of insurance or they make you buy it there. This rental was extremely expensive, 4 times the price in Florida and I would have done things differently had I known all of these things.
4.0 Okay9 Jun. 2021
Pros: The staff was friendlyCons: I did not like that no where in my reservations did they mention that I had to put a $500 deposit down ON TOP of the cost of the rental. I also don't like that they force you to get insurance or no car.
2.0 Mediocre27 May 2021
Pros: The staff was friendly, despite the issues experienced.Cons: Literally everything else. From the long wait, to having a faulty and dangerous car, to their support phone lines not working or being responsive (no one answered phone calls, either at the office or at corporate), to trying to contact anyone with the company to discuss a refund, it was a truly disappointing experience. I had plans to use their rental car that day to drive around the island and hike El Yunque. Instead, I spent from 10am to nearly 4pm attempting to resolve this rental issue.

Cons: How about PNut canceling my car because I had to wait at the airport an extra hour or two because the airlines lost my luggage and we had to figure out what we’re gonna do. So thanks to you guys I was stuck in Puerto Rico for four days with no car to get around with nothing to do and I was staying an hour away from the airport so I probably spent about $400 in Uber’s and taxis thank you very much very much

Cons: Oh my, this place is a mess... it's now called allied. I rented here before with the same experience. This time I had to cancel because they were saying my online rate wouldn't allow me to use my private vehicle full coverage.... so rented online then they wanted an additional 174$... went to NU down the street got a nicer car for same original online price.

2.0 Mediocre29 Jun. 2021
Pros: I reserved the car in May for a June trip and called 1 week before to confirm my reservation. I arrived at 1:30 a.m. and was told that there were no cars available. I was told to return to the airport later in the morning as they MAY (not will) have cars available. I called the 1-800 number to see if there was a way to confirm if there would be any cars available as I didn't want to waste my time and cab money going back to the airport. I was also traveling with 2 kids, which made this situation a little more difficult. The representative that I spoke to was nasty and one of his comments was that "it wasn't his problem". When I asked to speak to a supervisor or manager he told me he didn't have one and hung up on me. I went back to the airport the next morning and there were 8 others waiting in front of me. I timed the check-in for the couple that was already at the counter and it was about 20-25 minutes. Do the math. With 8 people in front of me, I was sure I would spend at least 2 hours waiting to get the counter and even when I got there, there was no guarantee I'd get a car. Luckily I found another car from another company. I will NEVER EVER rent from Avis.Cons: The entire experience could have been better.
2.0 Mediocre28 Jun. 2021
Pros: NothingCons: Easily the worst experience I've ever had. Made the reservation a month in advance and by the time I arrived at the counter, the clerk had the audacity to tell me there are no cars available for me until the next day. What is the point of having a reservation if you're not going to honor it. Had to pay a $100 cab ride to get to my hotel.

Pros: Nothing. I arrived at 10:00 AM. I waited in the hot garage with mosquitos for 45 minutes. We got our car after 11. The computer system was down so the 2 customers in front of me took about 25 minutes each.Cons: We showed up at 10:00 AM, we should have gotten our car before 11....We could have been allowed to wait in the AC instead of the hot mosquito infested garage... The employee could have moved a little quicker. I would not rent here again. The car gas tank could have been full instead of 5/8's, so many things could have been better.

NEVER rent from USavePros: When I landed, the rental agency was closed. They knew what time my flight was coming in but they did not notify me when I booked the reservation that their office would be closed when my flight arrived. I called the national number. They said if I called the local number someone would pick up. They didn't. National number also said they would have someone call me back as soon as they opened in the morning. They did not. I called the national number several times in the morning but kept getting sent to voicemail with a promise they'd call me back. They never did. Finally called the local number in the morning. He asked what time I arrived the night before and said they were closed at that time. (Funny... the national office said they closed at a different time... ) Local guy also said said because I had not shown the night before he'd canceled the rental. I asked how could he help me now. He just said he couldn't. Told me to go online to rent a car from them. I went online and the site said to call the local office to rent a car. At that point I just gave up.
3.6 Mediocre12 Dec. 2015
Cons: I received my rental and everything was fine. Two days into my trip the brakes on the car I rented failed and thank god I was able to stop the car. I then had to get the brakes replaced at my expense. Making the trip miserable. I was reimbursed for the brakes after I returned the car, but in no way does that compensate for the moment you step on the brakes to find there are none. This company needs to remember that vehicle maintenance and customer safety needs to come first and foremost.

3.2 Mediocre22 Oct. 2015
U don,t saveCons: Well in the end you don't save. Lots of hidden fees that they say are mandatory, like roadside assistance insurance cost me $24.00. Not shown on my kayak reservation total. Kayak quote was $158.08 they said minimum was $184.69. That's after we went through a big hassle discussion about insurance. They would not honor my premier visa insurance. I had to call my Regular auto insurance co and get a copy of my policy for them. They also took an imprint of my credit card which they said they will keep on file for 30 days in case there is any additional charges or un discovered damage. The whole thing made me pretty uncomfortable. Not even sure they can legally do that?
2.0 Mediocre22 Oct. 2015
No way!Pros: ...we cxld our reservation and booked elsewhere.Cons: Waited 30 minutes curbside to finally call and receive no answer. Got picked up and driven to a hole in the wall building where the neighbor company was. Waited an hour while the person in front of us argued with the one service agent. Finally got to the front where he tried to scam is into buying incredibly overpriced insurance coverage and toll road packages. Ended up having them drive is back to the airport to rent with a reputable company. Don't go!!

Top tips for hiring a car in San Juan
- Because public transportation is limited and doesn’t go very far, you’ll want to rent a car during your stay in San Juan. A hire car will give you the freedom to explore places on the island, like Cueva Ventana or Arecibo Observatory. Additionally, you’ll be able to better explore much of the nature and picturesque scenery as you drive along the coastal highways. You can also drive through the rainforest – an unforgettable experience.
- The San Juan Airport (or Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport) is just a few miles from the center of the city. Once you are off the plane, you’ll simply retrieve your hire car from the parking garage, or you can take a shuttle to the hire car desk. This airport provides many options for car hires including locally own companies like Charlie Car hire as well as nationally recognized companies such as Hertz or Enterprise.
- The roads in San Juan can be a little bumpy and rough. Additionally, their narrowness can be somewhat intimidating to tourists. So, you’ll need to drive with caution even though you are sightseeing. Motorcycles are also very common in Puerto Rico, and motorcyclists tend to drive quite fast and will cut in front of you; so beware.
- During rush hour the traffic can get a little heavy. The morning rush hour typically begins at around 8 a.m. and continues through 9:30 a.m. or so. In the evening, commuters will begin to return home at 4 p.m., which will cause some congestion on the road until around 6 p.m.

Some options include Old San Juan Cruise Pier Parking and Parking Lot Old San Juan on Calle Marina.
