I did not like it at all. Kayak is only a front runner for another corporation that takes your money and I never got a car when I got to my destination and I haven't gotten all my money back yet. I did not understand that you're not really going to kayak kayak is just looking for cars for somebody else who may or may not get your car for you. I didn't like the experience at all and I never got my money back from kayak. I only got partial funds back from a corporation called QEEQ there you go.Reviewed 2025 Nov 06

Drop off at St. Pete airport. Charge was higher than told at pick up in Georgia. Dropping off vehicle signs pointed me to budget. There was no customer service there although all of the other rental agencies had one. I wandered around looking for budgets. I went into the airport to budget. I told employees it was higher then I was quoted on paper and verbally. All I was told was call.Reviewed 2025 Nov 05

I arrived at PHX to a sea of people waiting in line for a car . With only 2 agents working and at least 100 customers waiting. I cancelled and rebooked with your competitors.Reviewed 2025 Nov 05

friendly agent, good price; only minor complaint was exit process from rental car center; lanes were poorly labeled and very backed up; I don't think most people realized that they could use the QR-code rapid exit lane; would be helpful to explain this to people so that they can get out quickly!Reviewed 2025 Nov 03
