There was NO CAR AVAILABLE! I waited all day and never got a call back for the van to finally be available. I had a family trip planned for a birthday, rented a cabin in the mountains and had no transportation. I was willing to wait or pick up a van at another location 70+ miles away. I will never use Kayak again.Reviewed 17 Jul 2026

Never again. $482 USD for less than 72 hours in a budget SUV—even with full coverage, that’s hard to justify.Reviewed 17 Jul 2026

Pick-up took 2 hours in line because they didn’t have the right car for everyone and had only 1 person for a long time. Totally miserable. Car was fine but waiting that long was insane. No other rental counter had a line.Reviewed 17 Jul 2026

Car wasn't ready at the time I reserved so had to wait for another vehicle. Then when I got the car it was dirty and had trash from the prior customer. Also, the facility in downtown DC was dirty. The underground garage where you pick up the vehicle had busted old furniture that they just had sitting in one of the parking spaces. I expect more from a brand name rental car company.Reviewed 17 Jul 2026
