The car wasn’t full of gas. Only had 1/4 of a tank. The last thing I wanted to do was go to the gas station. Doesn’t make sense to me. Isn’t that a rule??? And they didn’t have a reservation because they said kayak canceled it!!!

Passenger van
Everything was mostly great, especially the customer service. Only frustrating part was the vehicle was received with the gas gauge on empty. I had to pay a high price for gas in the city before I was able to leave downtown. The return was a bit challenging (since I had to drop it off at another location) because my flight was prior to the office opening. Whoever helped me behind the counter was excellent.

There was no rental available! Kayak - and every third party rental system - LIES! The most affordable car was not available until 1pm. It was 9am. Budget's only available rental vehicle was an extra $100. So I cancelled. I returned to computer to find a vehicle available near downtown San Diego and ..... The Budget location I was at came up again on Kayak! Kayak said a vehicle was available to rent at that moment. The Budget staff member running that office verified it was not correct, and there is still no vehicle. And I purchased the third party insurance via the Kayak website. Though I cancelled the car reservation because no car was available.... I did not receive a refund for the insurance.

I booked the car with Kayak and they allowed me to book it at a rental location that closes at 5pm, when my flight arrived at 5pm. Therefore, I missed the pickup, and when I went to get it the next day the price was twice as much as the original.
Tank was half full on pick up and they tried to charge me for returning it at half. Charged my card the full booking amount twice for the same booking. Car needed maintenance 2 days into a 30+ day booking. Tires were flat.

Vincent and Lauren both helped us a ton when a pickup error caused our reservation to go sideways. There needed to be a better explanation online that there are multiple pickup locations right by the airport that have different hours of operation.

It was the fastest I was in and out of a rental office. The individual working at the drop off in Palm Springs was really nice. I can't tell you how disappointed I was that the type of car I reserved was not there since I made the reservation ahead of time.
