Pros:

This location had the best customer service I've ever had at a car rental.

Cons:

The drop off at LAX took some Extra time waiting in line to check in my car. Amazingly I got through LAX security faster. But neither we're terrible. Just time :)

I didn't realize I booked Avis offsight both for pickup and drop off. Susan was the nicest person and fixed everything for me so I could pick up and drop off on the airport grounds. I will definitely use Avis again and call Susan directly. She was great!!!

This location was not at the airport like I thought - but their customer service was so good they called me the day before my pickup to make sure I knew I would have to get a ride to their location, but that by doing so, I was pry ably saving $200 on my total rental. Add to that, the gentleman who checked me in was was helpful, cheerful, and kind. Great experience.

I called several times the location directly and no reply , not even a recording to ask about courtesy shuttle . I then called your 800 number and told them what happened and still no assistance they just transferred me back to an automated system. Looks like Budget has ghost locations where they are “renting “ cars. I was going to waste my time to pay for an Uber to travel to a location where no one was working !!

The vehicle was not properly cleaned- the smell of cigarette smoke was apparent. When asked to switch vehicles there were no other options avaialble. Secondly, the tags on the vehicle were expiring at the end of the month, an officer brought that to my attention.

Waited well over an hour for the car to get cleaned before I picked it up, making me very late for a couple meetings. The checkout counter was also incredibly slow, with no urgency shown by the staff.

Pros:

Car was excellent and a very good value.

Cons:

Pick-up and drop off were slow and drawn out. Stood by for 15 minutes waiting to check out while one agent worked and two others walked in and out without a word. Finally someone noticed me standing there and said someone would soon help me. Another 5 mintes with no attention!

Cons:

I called U-save the day after I made the reservation to confirm it was unlimited miles. It wasn't. I wanted to cancel the reservation and I have contacted.Kayak, u-Save, and CarRentals.com to help cancel the reseravtion. The reservation STILL HAS NOT BEEN CANCELED. It's been over 2 weeks. No one can seem to help me. I was promised a 50% refund for the cancelation and I have received no refund whatsoever. I am still trying to chase down the cancellation and this was a horrible experience.

KAYAK

Cons:

Never got the car. In fact, was swindled and lied to when picking up the vehicle, was told they had no more cars to rent out because they were tired and didn't want to help anymore people since they were closing. Instead they lied to us and then put us on a shuttle to go find a car at Avis in the airport and said they would refund the difference. Well now I am disputing the charge because they lied to me and said they don't honor reimbursing the difference because they are not affiliated with Avis when the representative at Payless said they were. STOP offering deals to pick up rentals from Payless in Costa Mesa.

Got to the counter and was told a debit card was no good. Payless agent made a call and a third party offered me a rate twice as much as the contract price and a $200 deposit whe I refused they offered another $20 discount. I was insulted and walked away.
