A
2.0 Poor
I didn't like anything about this experience, I feel I was ripped off I lost one day of the rental and I spent 10 hours waiting to pick up a car after a very long flight! I didn't even get the car that I paid for. I'm really frustrated and disappointed
G
2.0 Poor
I booked a small suv via Kayak. They assigned a Honda Accord. (Old and dirty) and claimed it was the same class of car. I refused to accept and cancelled the booking.
W
2.0 Poor
Bad. Didn't get the type of car I was promised and made me go buy a car seat with my kids! I had to drive to Walmart with one of my kids not secure and buy it. This is not ok
S
2.0 Poor
Waited over 2 hours in reservation line, then another 45 min to receive the car. HOW IS THIS ACCEPTABLE

6.0 Okay
I reserved an SUV but received a conventional car. I returned it 3 days early but did not receive a refund.

Victor was great and handled the customers during the rush well. The car could have been cleaner, but it worked for our purposes. Pickup and drop off where reasonable, although a bit of wait since the office appears to be short of staff.

Staff at Calgary airport not friendly and did not explain the process clearly.

8.0 Very Good
Picking up the rental car went smoothly. I had a tire blow out and then I was given replacement car that was supposed to be 4-6 hours before it arrived. Then I sat on the road side for over 10 hours before the car was delivered! This didn’t make me happy. I was supposed to be getting a coupon for a rental car in the future. The coupon never arrived! Not having any luck being a budget customer! 😏😒

I reserved an automatic SUV. I received a manual compact. When I complained they said that’s all we have. I had no other options so I took it. And paid the same rate.
B
2.0 Poor
They didn’t have my reservation when I arrived. I ended up spending 6x’s as much on a rental at the airport. This was absolutely the worst experience with a car rental. I should have used a different site that Kayak.
