Seems like there is a pattern. I checked into Phoenix airport Payless late on 28 Feb 2018 and I told them I did not needed any extra insurance and started to sign away on the paperwork. I guess it is shame on me because the corporate office said I signed and they will not refund me on the extra insurance. Of course they picked the most expensive insurance. All I can say is to take your time and ask why the price does not match.

I rent cars all over the world and Payless has been my worst experience ever. Booked a car for 4 days for $115.00 just to find out a few days later that I got overcharged by almost $90. The car was returned on time with a full tank of gas. After contacting their so called "customer service" I was told that the car was returned with half a tank. I provided a receipt for the fuel but since I topped off the car the night before returning it, it was "not acceptable". I filed a dispute with AMEX and will never use this company again.

Watch out, I was charged $39- in advance for gas. I pointed this out to the clerk and he said I would be refunded for any amount not needed to fill the tank. When I returned the car with a full tank, the attendant said I would need to call to request the refund. When I got home and called, they said I needed to provide a receipt proving I got gas. I did not have one, so they refused to refund the money.

Payless at BWI MD. Worst. Rental car experience. Ever. They lost my reservation, then found, then lost, then found again. Took forever for them to figure it out. I stood at counter for nearly an hour. When I picked up car at the lot, the lighting was horrible, and it was too dark to see anything. Walked around car to look for damage, but couldn't see much besides shadows. Also, car was covered in road salt. Tried to find agent to help, but no one was around. When I returned car, they claimed there was damage (scratches to bumper) that wasn't there previously. I did not cause this damage. I hardly even drove this car. Did not hit anything while I had it. I disputed it with agent at check-in. She just shrugged. Month later I got an invoice for nearly $800. Now in dispute with company.

I reserved a rental car with payless from southwest airlines was given a price of $59.00 per day i needed it for 4 days. When we got to rent the car my husband had to use his credit card so we had to put it in his name so they redone the whole thing and im not paying attention because i thought everything as far as the price would be the same........not it ended up costing us $733.00 for 4 days. We needed to extend our stay for another 2 days so we called them ask how much for 2 more days they said $1000.00 we told them we could buy a car for that and leave it with a homeless person when we were ready to leave..We then turned the car in and walked over to Budget rent a car, what a total differnce got a SUV for days for $188.00 total price.

Wow if only they had zero ratting! That's truly what I want to give. This is the first time I used them and it will be the last! When I went to pick up my reserved car In Atlanta it was not ready so they offered me a lower class style car for the same money. I said no. The man tells me to wait 20 mins and he would have something then. I go back and shifts were changing. There was a female at the desk. She said they had no cars except this economy car. She said besides when you reserve a car with us there are no guarantees that we will have any car for you. She was so rude and nasty going on and on that it was not her problem and telling me I can wait another hour or go to another car rental place. So you know what I did I went to National. They were super kind, quick and honored me a similar price and car. In fact when I went to get the car they let me go to the lot and pick it out myself! Goodbye Payless car rental and Hello National!

If you don't want to be foolishness. Don't choose this rental company . They're real scam and rogue. Always charge you more what ever you received confirm price!

Will never rent from them again. Very poor customer service. Reserved a car through Travelocity. Picked up in Seattle. Refused the car insurance as I always do, as I have my own insurance. Was told to initial/sign in 3 spots, my mistake I didn't read the fine print. 4 days into the rental i realize my card had been charged much more than I was quoted on Travelocity. Called the rental company and was told the "optional roadside assistance" is added to all their rentals. (its not optional then is it?) When I explained I had AAA and roadside assistance through my insurance, she told me she would file a dispute with her supervisor. I assumed I should at least be refunded an amount prorated for the remainder of the rental period. For the last 3 weeks I have tried to call the Seattle phone number as instructed, I am always asked to leave a message and the mail box is full no matter which extension I try. filled out the on line report twice with no response. Today, I called the 800 number and was told that I would have had to return in person the the Seattle Airport in order to have anything changed on my contract and since I signed it, that is that! No apology for the fact that their employee did not ask me if I wanted the service or that another employee did not give me proper information to resolve the issue. So, My car rental has not only cost me an extra $60 for roadside assistance, but another $20 in miscellaneous fees above what I was quoted. it's not even the $$, but the amount of time and frustration I've gone through from their total lack of customer service.

I am simply a frequent car renter. A family member and I happened to bump into this rental site after having difficulty finding a car with another rental company. I am glad we found it.

HORRIBLE!! Was over charged, said I didn't fill up the gas tank and I did. My flight was at 6am, I was told to leave the car at Avis with the keys on the dash since I would be dropping off before they were open. I did drop off at 4:30am and boarded my flight at 6am. When I disputed the charge they stated it was dropped off in the afternoon and the gas was not full. Sent copies of my boarding pass and a gas receipt dated the morning of my flight at 4:20am in Oakland one block away from the airport and still did not respond to my dispute. Sent several emails requesting a call, they never called. Stuck with the extra charges!!!
