Upon arrival they had no cars available. They were turning people away that had reservations. Kayak made my reservation in Otay SAN DIEGO. AKA Tijuana Mexico. Hertz did not have any more vehicles for me or anyone else that was there. Hertz informed me that it was because you were are a third party and the reservation was made else where. They informed me that it happens everyday at that location. SAN airport. I will not use Kayak or Hertz again.

I reserved a car online for my San Diego trip. Apparently it was thru Kayak which I did not realize since as I typed in Hertz on my computer. I typed pickup location in San Diego airport and even followed up with a call to find out how far it was from the airport. I was told it was only a mile, and then there was a shuttle that would take me there when I arrived. When I got to Hertz, they had no record of my reservation. after I gave her my confirmation number, she tells me that that was rented for the Mexico location. I had no way to get there to pick it up. So I canceled it and rented from budget. The lady behind the counter told me that happens all the time!!! That’s terrible 😢

Could not rent the car without a credit card in hand even though I am a gold member and have literally rented 50+ times from Hertz in the past. I had my credit card electronically on Gpay and had two debit cards but that was not enough. Even a credit check of my near perfect 820+ credit score was not enough to rent to me. Had to rent with Avis who had no problem renting with a debit card and credit check. Hertz won't be getting my business in the future. You lost a long time loyal customer.

Came to front desk @ 6am as I had scheduled, they didn't open til 7am. Then the person at the desk says they can't honor the booking and proceeds to try and upsell me into an "SUV". After much back and forth I got him to give me the SUV for only $50 (for the week) more than the original contract which seemed fair since I was getting an SUV upgrade, what they didn't tell me was the S in SUV meant SMALL not Sport. Just felt scammish, as the person at the counter seemed to have a hustle on each person in line as I listened. Whether it was emotional blackmail about insurance, or telling people they couldn't honor the booked car and the upsell.

They charged more than $20 than booking price, the car I got was not Camry I booked, but a Sonata in terrible conditions, the car was full of scrashes and cracks, the engine generated huge noise, and the car shakes when accelerating. Even though claimed unlimite mileage, but I was asked not to drive to anywhere other than southern California, given the car's conditions, who dared to drive a long distance? Will never use this company again.

The guy fast talked me into paying for an upgrade which I had no clue I was agreeing to and it ended up being 50.00 for a smelly Toyota Corolla… not worth a 50.00 upgrade in any world

Do not rent with Payless. At car pickup, I had to prove that I have car insurance. I keep my insurance cards in my autos, not on me. I rent using American Express, which provides full insurance coverage. In spite of this, since I could not prove personal coverage, I was charged $25 a day for their insurance. Supposedly, the rental agreement states this. I've reread today the information I received and can't find it. It's probably buried in some 40 page document. The lady at the counter was less than pleasant. The ladies actually giving us the car were very friendly.

Bottom line is I would rent from them again. Really liked that the check-out included a Payless employee doing a complete rental damage inspection with paperwork copy for me. Car easily passed but was worth the 60 second wait. Something I would of liked was some sort of rental returned receipt.

Alamo did amazing! It was when I tried to make some edits to my reservation through Kayak that I had some difficulties. I think the edits appeared on Alamos end but not mine and it left me very concerned so I booked an additional reservation. The Alamo agent was very helpful and understanding of my plight and was able to take care of everything.

My wife and I enjoyed the flexibility within the car choice category. The car we picked was very comfortable for the travel we scheduled. The only detriment we observed with the rental was that the vehicle had over 60,000 miles on it at the time of the rental.

I rented a car that had broken blinkers. Thought this was something they checked for before letting people onto the road. Could be dangerous and I would have been extremely angry if I had gotten a ticket or in an accident. When I returned it and told the attendant, they did not seem apologetic or like they cared.

I made a mistake on my booking dates and did not realize it until after the rental period had started. While excellent costumer service would have been too let me rebook with perhaps a fee, good customer service would have been to offer some kind of discount or upgrade. Dollar would have none of that. They took my free money and effectively told me to buzz off. I assure you, I won't give them any more of my money. Also, note that Dollar and Thrifty are subsidiaries of Hertz.

Beware - smaller car was provided than was reserved (causing us to have a seat filled with luggage and luggage on our laps), and NO communication between the place you call and the rental locations. I was told I could stop by any location for an upgrade, but they couldn’t provide details on inventory, I had to physically go (and of course when I did, no cars were available).

The upsell experience was off the charts negative. The desk representative created a very negative sales upsell experience through fear, uncertainty and doubt about insurance, liability, gas, etc....leaving me not trusting him or Dollar at all and potentially adding over $500 in unnecessary fees at the start. At the end there were $87 in hidden charges that were not expressed in the booking process either. Both of these make my experience mediocre at best and left with the perception that Dollar is not a very trustworthy provider.

It took me 41 minutes waiting in line to get a car. It should be better staffed given the pint of reservations that day.

We reserved a Mustang convertible ( or similar ) but were told that none were available. We could upgrade to a premium convertible, which we agreed to, but were then told that because we didn’t have a paper copy of our car insurance policy, we couldn’t rent it. We were then told that a convertible WAS available, so we lugged our luggage to the space only to find it empty. No one was in the car area (it was now 11:45 pm). We lugged our luggage back to the office and the manager couldn’t be located, but we were told that there was a BMW convertible available. Back we went, loaded our luggage into the car, but the roof was not working. An employee tried to assist us, but was unable to get it to work…after consulting the owners manual and multiple attempts. We were then given the choice of a sedan. We left the airport rental facility at 12:30 am, exhausted and disappointed! Doesn’t matter to Thrifty what type of vehicle you “reserve” and pre-pay for!! NEVER AGAIN!!! Done with Thrifty!!!

2 hour wait to pick up. This is the second time this has happened, went next door to Sixt and was on my way in about 8 minutes as I didn’t have the time to wait in a ridiculously long line. LOTS of unhappy people.

San Diego combines all the large rental agencies in one line creating a 2 hr wait. It was unbelievable so we went with Payless to avoid the wait.

The car was in good condition and the car return was super quick. The shuttle to airport after dropping the vehicle was prompt. Perhaps the price I paid was a little high probably because the vehicle return was in a different location.

Thrifty provided an easy process to pick up and return my rental car. The car was clean and in great condition. The rental customer service staff were friendly and efficient. The only thing that could have been better would be if the counter was open 24/7. Our plane was late so we had to return to the airport the next day to pick up the car. But still a great rental experience and good value.

1st: Stood in line for 45 minutes... only 2 people in front of me 2nd: Ask to drop the vehicle off at an airport 30 minutes away.... the desk said you must call the "Avis" number to change this before you start the paperwork on the rental car. 3rd: Stepped out of line to call "Avis"...after 10 minutes on the phone, they said it would cost over $900 to drop off the vehicle at another airport. (renting the car for 7 days) (remember we are talking only a 30 minute distance between the 2 airports) 4th: The Avis representative said to have the representative at the Avis desk make the changes (everyone passing the buck) 5th: Stand in line again.... one group in front of us....another 30 minutes 6th: Finally receive the rental car.... they give me one key fob that is taped up... they say to walk out into the lot and push the panic button to find your car...(no one is on duty?) 7th: Find the car, notice the tabs are expired... my wife goes back into the terminal .... they tell her it is fine 8th: We notice there is no one to check us out? How do you prove the dents and scratches in the rental car?... now I go back into the terminal and ask about the check out procedure. They inform me all the dents and scratches are in "their" notes (yeah...right?). I do not agree, so the sales person said to take pictures of the dents and scratches. I asked if this will be sufficient when I return the car, and the sales person said YES. 9th: We load the car up with our bags, push the start button, and it won't start. It says to hold the fob closer to the engine button. I take the fob out of my right pocket (max 1.5 feet away) and hold it by the engine button. It starts! Yes! 10th: The fuel gauge read 1/4 full!!!! Also the "Check engine light" is on and also flashes "past due on service" 11th: One more trip into the terminal ..... they say it is OK... just return the car with a 1/4 tank of gas.... 12th: 4th day of 7.... Car will not start.... we had to jump the car. 13th: Called Avis and set up an exchange for a new auto in another city. Also my wife arranged us to drop the car off at the other airport. They said it would now cost $25 extra. 14th: The exchange went fine.... 20+ minutes... received a much nicer auto, but it only had a 1/4 tank of fuel!!! 15th: Turned the car in on day 7... They charged us $75 instead of the $25. Also, I returned the car with 3/4 of a tank of fuel.... didn't have time to debate... had to catch a flight.

I’d like that I could pick up the car at the airport facility. The price for what I got was reasonable. I didn’t like that I had to beg them to look for a car that had an electric power seat and a rear camera. I am very short, in order to be safe in a car. I need to be able to sit higher and also have a rear camera. I notified six rental well before my pick up that I needed a car with these two things. I also requested Apple CarPlay. I also didn’t like that six weeks into my rental. I received a call telling me I had to bring the car back and trade it in for another car as they had sold his car. It took a whole day and a whole tank of gas for me to make that trade. I was not compensated for either. Both of the cars that I drove were acceptable to me. The first car, however, had significant body damage. I had to accept that in order to get the power driver seat that I require because I am so short. Returning the car was very easy and efficient.

While I was shopping for rentals, I found an x5. I do realize that it could have been an x5 or similar. Right, when I confirmed, the price changed to $100 more. On the confirmation it showed a Mercedes. On the day of pick up. They had a Volvo for us. I mentioned that I was suppose to get a Mercedes. They informed me that they did not have Mercedes but for more money. I could get what I originally had picked the x5. Almost 200 more! So in total is was about 300 more. I feel like that was such a scam!!!!

They upgraded me to a very big ford exhibition ! I didn’t want a bigger one and said I was concerned about gas mileage and price if gas! Was told it was. 6 cylinder and should get good mileage! Then car was dead and worker had to jump it and said it would be fine if I drove it at least 10 minutes. And.. told me it only had 1/4 tank of gas, so I could return it that way. It actually had 1/8 tank of gas and we drove it 25 min, put in $76 worth of gas and took it home to load it up for our trip, then car was dead again!!! Had to call tow truck , car was jumped again and set up to drive to airport to get new car! Had to wait switch over stuff and got new economy car. Didn’t get off to our trip till 5pm! Drive to Arizona. The next morning we see return time is still 11am, the original time I picked up first car! Try to call MANY people at budget to get it extended to 5 pm so we can go on our would be hiking trip and have car for 24 hours. Was told we would be charged an extra 278!! That we could fight the charges later!! So… to avoid this ridiculous amount we take car back by 11. But now we have to pay 45 for Uber to get home. If we had it till 5 we would have gas a free ride home! So… I paid 76 in gas for a car I didn’t drive and an extra 45 for a ride I had to pay for because I couldn’t keep the car 24 hours!! And I didn’t get to hike at sodona! I feel budget owes me $126 and reimburse 120 for the car!! Not happy

Limited office hours required dropping car at another location for an additional fee. Received a smaller car than what was booked. Paperwork indicated a full tank when it was only 1/2 full. Took 2 shuttles to get to office...Uber would have been so much easier. I wouldn't do this again.

Didn’t have any cars when we arrived. Said they had no idea when more cars would be coming in. This has never happened to me before when renting a car. Nothing to make it right, either! They offered to send me to another rental agency down the street that wanted to charge me $150 more for the week. I eventually went to U Save Rental Cars and got a cheaper deal than even Economy offered me originally! I won’t ever try to rent from here again. Too risky.

The Nissan Rogue that I paid to upgrade to was extremely small. The full size car (billed as similar to a Toyota Camry) wasn't available so they offered me this small SUV. I should have asked for a deal on the upgrade since what I had rented wasn't available. Instead I was charged $40/day to get a vehicle which was still too small. The most important part however is that the rental agency is located OFF the airport grounds. You have to take a shuttle from the terminals to the Airport Car rental area, wait there for another van to pick you up to take you to the office on India St. Then when you return the car you do the same thing in reverse. Plan ahead. If they are busy you might just miss your plane! My husband insisted on going with Economy but in the long run I could have spent the same money with Hertz or Avis and not had to spend 20 minutes in transit each time. Live and learn.

I booked this rental with the understanding that it was at the main rental car terminal in San Diego based on the options I selected. I only found out after booking that it was at a separate off site facility and would have to get a shuttle from the main rental pavilion to their facility. I also was unable to return before 7 am without incurring a $25 fee. Since my flight was at 8, I had no choice but to eat the fee.

Pros: Staff was friendly
Cons: My vehicle was not ready on time so I had to return later. When I returned I was given the wrong vehicle, much less than I had paid for. The manager was not able to give discount because the rental was purchased thru Kayak. Will most likely never use Kayak or Fox again.

Pros: Drop off and pick up was very easy
Cons: We had our rental car broke into and staff that I called laughed at me saying my claim number was wrong. They also told me that if we needed to be picked up they couldn’t do it because we had a family of 5 and they could only take up to 4 people. So stayed that we had to find a ride to the airport ourselves or just drive it back in the condition it was in. They also told me that even though we had a bad situation happen if our car was not back on time we would get charged for it being late and entire extra day. We also we supposed to get a gull size car and we did not get that. Very disappointed and will not rent from them again!!!!

Pros: staff was ok, but far from friendly. pickup guy failed to note the car was smashed in the side and repaired (evidenced by the non factory two tone paint work) and the return guy barely looked up from his device...
Cons: it sure would have been nice to get the car i reserved (Toyota RAV4) or Better instead of the POS Mitsubishi Outlander (Sport(!) no less!!) i got for my family of four. poor comfort, lousy handling, acceleration, fit AND finish. an otherwise outstanding two week trip ended up be a series of non stop jokes over what a lousy vehicle we had.

Pros: Staff was friendly and car was nice.
Cons: Felt like I got overcharged. Tried to get in touch with them ahead of time and ask them about extending my time for a couple of hours but after 2 days and a half dozen phone calls I gave up. When you call their number they tell you there are ten ahead of you and they will call you back. Call came 2 1/2 hours later and I was put on hold then hung up on. This happened 5 separate occasions so I quit trying Also do not agree to have them charge you ahead of time for gas. They charge you for a complete full tank and not for only what you used. That is a complete rip-off. I will never use them again!!!! I hope someone reads this and pays attention to the concerns and experience I had before you rent a car from them.

It was the worst car rental experience I have ever had. I booked through Kayak, prepaid and flew into San Diego. After landing, wewere waiting with several other Kayak customers for the shuttle, and when it showed up, the driver said "we don't have any more cars". They weren't apologetic nor did they give us a voucher for a future rental. They said Kayak overbooked them and that was that. They did offer to give us a refund. I then had to go to Avis and pay an enormous amount because they were almost out of cars. I would never rent a car from there again. So buyer beware, you get what you pay for.

When we showed up to the airport we found out that the rental car place was not even located at the airport and we had to wait at a shuttle stop for a half hour only for nobody to show up. Then when we called there they said they were out of car rentals. So we had to find another car rental place at the last minute and everywhere was almost booked out. We found one place left and had to pay an absurd price because it was the day of. NEVER BOOK with this place. We heard this happened to many other people too.

Cons: Booked a van pickup 5pm and drop off at same time 2 days later. The day off, 3 hours before pickup, I get a phone call from the location telling me I need to pickup an hour early because they decide to close at 4 “today”. Of fine. “Oh and also you need to drop off before 10am in 2 days because we will be closed at 10am”. “Or you can pay an extra $60 for late drop off”. What?? Late drop off would mean I extend pass my 24h, which I’m not!! If you decide to close early how does that become my problem?? Very disappointing.

Long story short it’s obvious Non sense. Worker at location didn’t show any compassion and on the phone corporate couldn’t do anything because “we are reservation center and customer center only works week days”.

Pros: Nothing.
Cons: It was a bait and switch in that I seriously doubt they even own a Corolla or similar economy car. Granted, they weren’t going to raise the price....but then the car they were trying to give me (after an interminable wait) was actually a huge dirty van...that had very significant damage from having been sideswiped. We are talking major body damage. So yeah, no thanks. Place is godawful. And they have signs everywhere about how you really need the insurance because this would cost X and that would cost Y. (Maybe take the money you earned from the sideswiping job and spend it on the needed body work?). Pretty ominous, and give everything else I’d seen of this company...but yeah, trying to drive around the city (parallel park, etc.) in a huge damaged dirty van? No thanks.

Pros: Overall it was a great deal for the Van. Only we had to pay an extra $100 because we dropped it off in LA and I didn’t realize this until we made our final payment. The staff was very nice and accommodating during the pick up process. We had no problem riding the shuttle to the rental car area but it was a little confusing because the van rental is off site so we had to take another van ( which the number was there to call for a pick up) this might need to be disclosed in the advertisement.

Pretty Goof
Pros: Once we got past the one hurdle the pick up was fine.

And we are standing at the desk when they told us this. Never been asked for that ever before, not even when renting a car in France. And we did not have a copy. Scrambling to call our insurance company and having to have them email this to us was a pain. A requirement like this should be in large red letters all over the booking and was not. Also the car was pretty worn out, but got us there.

Misleading
Pros: We booked the reservation online that stated in bold, Unlimited Miles. We were traveling from San Diego to Phoenix. Unfortunately, unlimited does not mean unlimited. Our rental price would have doubled due to a fee per mile after 150 miles. We chose not to go through with the rental as a result, which was extremely disappointing. This survey is also frustrating because I can't adjust the rating for each category. Overall, it was a poor experience.

Over-priced and dishonest
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.

the worst
Pros: nothing
Cons: When we got to the place we were being helped by a woman and she was going through all the information and everything was fine. then about 2 min in another man comes out and says "this is only for local, this is only for local." we were like ok and kept going. then the man starts to talk over the lady that is helping us and eventually kicks the lady off of the computer and takes over. The man ask if all I have is a debit card and I tell him yes. He then says there is a $600 deposit. Let me say that again a 2-day rental at $38 and he wanted a $600 deposit. Now my mom who was with me used to work at Hertz car rental down the street and knows the industry. I am in school studying to be a lawyer. I asked the man to show me ANYWHERE ON MY CONFIRMATION EMAIL OR ANY LINK WHERE THERE IS A $600 DEPOSIT. He could not show me anything anywhere. I hold his company Pacific and your company as well responsible for doing business with a company of this sorts. I hope that my treatment was not because of my skin color, but I still do not know why this man had to insert himself into my transaction in the first place, and he could not show me anything in writing in regards to a $600 deposit.

My Turo got cancelled upon arriving in San Diego, so very last minute i had to book a new rental car. I booked through kayak with NU car rental. I had to take a shuttle from the airport to the rental car center AND THEN had to wait for their van to come to the shuttle pick up spot and take me to their location off site. It was over an hour long process. When we finally got to the location, it was an old outdated building with trash bins set out to collect water from the leaking ceiling! Their internet wasn't work during my pick up and return and the first lady renting me the car had to hot spot off her phone! I actually ended up needing to return the car a day earlier and their internet still was not working! He mentioned me getting a refund for returning the car a day early, but I am sure I'll have to call on it. I won't rent through this company moving forward.

I thought it was where Hertz in the other car dealerships are but they’re not and you have to take a shuttle there and then once you get there, take another another shuttle and it’s the same way going back they won’t take you directly to the airport so it’s not really very convenient unless you’re saving a lot of money you could always jump in to a cab which is about $12 from their office to the airport

Couldn’t believe it…!! Called Budget and the quote was $460. NU car was $140. Thought for sure it was a scam. I was wonderfully wrong. I spent $80 more and upgraded to a Dodge Charger. SWEET….!!! Made my trip so much better. I even washed it a few days in, hahaha…it was too nice not to. I’m back home and driving my big truck wishing I was renting from NU Car again. I’ll never go anywhere else again…ever.

The check-in and check out process was extremely slow. There were at least 10 employees there, and only one helping to check in a very long line of customers. They have a policy that they will not hold a certain car class for more than 2 hours, which meant that everyone in line on a snow weekend had to upgrade for a significant fee. Also note that they have very limited business hours, but I did not downgrade their ranking for this, as I should have checked in advance.

the customer service left much to be desired. It is an off-airport location which takes two airport shuttles to get to (the second of which you have to call or you will wait indefinitely). The office only had one person "working" while there were a number of employees in the back area talking while there were three customers waiting to be helped. Its cheap though!

They had no cars when I arrived. When I pressed then they said they had only one car, a luxury car at 3x the price. I felt like I was being grifted. Drop off was just ad bad. I dropped off at LAX. The Drop off is at the Westin Hotel, but they didn't actually tell me that. The drop off address was the same ad the Westin and only after driving around and walking around for 15 minutes did I ask the Westin bellhop who told me where to go. Again, no signs. When I found parking for Nu I then walked around another 10 minutes until I stumbled on the drop off box. Never ever will rent with Nu again.

Terribly disorganized, didn’t have the vehicle or even similar size vehicle at time of rental, was even wrong about when they closed when trying to return the vehicle. Worst rental experience I’ve ever had. Do not use under any circumstances

The staff was terrible. I recognize there was only one person supposedly on at the time I arrived to do check-ins and shuttle pick-up, but I arrived at the shuttle stop at my car pick-up time and was forced to wait at the stop for 30 minutes. I expected to arrive at an empty office since the shuttle driver claimed there was no one else working, which is why she was late. Instead, there were about 5 people just standing around. I stood there and was not helped until I asked for help, to which 5 people who appeared to be just chatting, instead had me wait for someone who had not yet arrived to help me. I was 15 minutes late to my work event because of this. The car itself smelt like someone had been smoking in it, and having asthma/allergies, made for an unpleasant drive. Upon return, there is no clear signage for where to park, and after rolling down my window and yelling 3 times asking where I was to go, the punk teen with the tattoo on his neck finally gestured, annoyed, at a spot. The only pleasant part of this was my shuttle ride back to the airport as the driver was kind and helpful.

Pros: My rental car was dead at noon June 15, 2021 on our way from San Diego to Yosemite National Park. We contacted National roadside assistance and they couldn't do anything to help. We had to be in the middle of nowhere under the heat of 100F. After 7 hours stranded, the tow truck came at 7:30 pm to tow the car and left our luggage on the street. The taxi came at 7:45pm to take us to the rental car office, but the office was closed at 5:00pm. Taxi only offered to take us to the nearby hotel and it had to be under our own expense. I couldn't stay at the nearby hotel because I already sent my under age children to the campsite close to the Yosemite National Park with a group of friends when the car broke down. I had to pay my friend to come back from campsite to car broke down location to pick us up and took us to the campsite while the Taxi denied to take us because it was too far. We had to spend $200 to cover that pick up. The road side assistance had confirmed that their agent at the airport close to the Yosemite NP had a reserve replacement car for us, but when we came to pick up the car. They had no car available; We had to call RSA and stayed on the phone with them hours and hours, I was stranded at the airport from 9:00 am to 3:45 pm on June 16, 2021 talked to a whole bunch of different people to end up with the smaller SUV that didn’t have enough room for everybody in my family and the luggage. Half of my family had to split with other cars within our group of friends. The rental car has ruined my family vacation. We had lost 2 vacation days. Instead of enjoying nature, we have been stranded on the road or the rental car office. We had lost our park’s fee and the campsite’s fee for nothing; the stress of dealing with the Roadside assistant customer service that won’t be able to help much drove us crazy. On the top of those issues, I have been charged almost $54 for the gas on the Buick Enclave and they didn’t give me the credit for the gas left on the Infiniti QX80 when the car was dead and it still had more than ½ tank of gas. With all of those issues National only give me credit of $199. I was so frustrated with National. I will never rent from National or deal with Kayak again. The worst customer service that I have ever deal with.

Quick pick up / drop off--aggressive on selling upgrade/insurance
Pros: fast pick up/drop off. 24 hour shuttle service to and from airport because all rental company is housed at same location (San Diego Airport)

Pretty good
Pros: Relatively quick pickup and processing, car was in good condition and performed well. Associate at the desk was professional and friendly. Car was newer model Hyundai.
Cons: First, got charged an extra fee for extending the rental that was not mentioned even though I had explicitly asked in advance. Required proof of insurance at check-in, which I've never had requested before.

Pros: Inexpensive.
Cons: The "rental car insurance" ads lead me to buy insurance while I was online reserving a car. What I didin't know -- Even with the reading of the clauses which are difficult to understand -- was that my own car insurance company would be the one I'd contact first before this one kicked in. (According to the clerk at Green Motion.) So I ended up buying the one offered by Green Motion, and wasted money on Allianz.

The car rental desks are NOT “at the airport”. Usually that term implies that the rental desks are in the arrival terminal. At San Diego airport, you have to take a 15 minute shuttle ride. While the car rental center is technically “at the airport” because it sits on airport property, I felt deceived by the description.

Complete and utter disaster. The day of my flight, I got a text from them saying they weren't actually located at the airport, and that I should take a cab to get to them, and they would reimburse. So I did that, arriving at 5:45 pm. Had some trouble finding the place - no signage. But when I did... it was closed. No one nearby knew anything. I called and text several times, but got no response. I was literally stranded, in a strange city, miles from the airport, with my suitcase in the (rare) rain. I used google maps to find another rental place, a mile away. I walked it in the rain, only to find they had limited inventory and sky high prices. I finally took a Lyft to my lodging where my host said "You should just install Turo!" I did, and got a great car for a fraction of the price, delivered. My experience with U-Save literally could not have been any worse. Was their remote location, or the fact that they closed so early? The fact that they haven't responded to any of my calls or text makes them look like the worst fly by night sham imaginable. I strongly recommend that Kayak stop working with this company. I'm still trying to figure out whether my credit card was charged or not.
