Overall a good experience. Line was a bit long and slow for pickup and agent was not friendly. Everything went well with the car and drop off was easy.Reviewed 21 Jan 2025

They tried charging more by adding insurance and extra fees with my knowledge and explaining the contract I was in hurry so quickly made me sign and I was on the way until I got back to return the car that’s when I found the extra free being charged but great service by refunding it back with any questions or issuesReviewed 21 Jan 2025

The check in was incredibly quick, they had the exact vehicle I wanted and I went straight to it in the lot after checking in. The price was good for what I needed and check in was contactless and smooth. 10/10 will use againReviewed 11 Jan 2025

No car ready, pornography type film playing in office. Car brought around after 45 mins waiting and it was full of garbage bags so had to wait a further 30mins Lady on desk very nice but really frustrated at guys dealing with cars. Also washing cars only last minute when customers are waiting is not good, we were an hour late to pick up vehicle and then it took 2 hours!! Disgraceful organisationReviewed 7 Jan 2025

1. The Mitsubishi Outlander smelled cigarette smoke. 2. The car would not start on the last day of rental and had to be towed. Payless Rental did send us a voucher for an Uber ride back to the airport. 3. Despite the Repair Shop confirmed the delivery of the towed rental car on the day of the tow, Payless sent me an alert of not returning the car three days after the tow. I had to call Payless Rental to remind them of the car tow/return and close the rental contract. Not a positive interaction!Reviewed 5 Jan 2025
