The car did not even come close to my expectation. Never before have I rented a car that was a bare bones as this. When I reserved the car I expected to get a basic car. But this was way below basic (no power anything, windows doors) and then they tried to upsell/upgrade me at the counter for even just a basic car. if I would have know that was what I should expect I would have rented from another company and gotten a better car for the same price.

Car was 2017 with many miles. Price was notthe same as my confirmation. For that price I could have rented a newer car.

The service was great, but there were so many hidden fees and they tried to charger me 35 cents per mile. I would rather just pay more and go through another vendor.

The hidden fees were horrible at payless car rental. I will NEVER rent from them again. 2 week rental for $244 was the reason I went with them, then they put an extra $250 holding fee then they booked me for mileage when my mileage was supposed to be all included. No one told me that I couldn't travel to Sanfran. The lady at the desk specifically asked me where I was going and I told her San francisco and she didn't mention it to me at all! So I was charged an extra $150. At that rate of $650. I would have been better off going with budget or enterprise or anything other than payless... you definately do not pay less at payless car rentals.

Agent at counter asked me if a Mitsubishi Galant was ok? I said "yes that's fine". At the end of the transaction I went to go look for car at the spot and it ended up being a Ford Fiesta instead. Not what she stated, so I was disappointed about that. And the fact that the car was not washed. SMH
