Hyrbilar på Norfolk flygplats

Plus: Location was closed, had to pay for a cab to and from off airport location to find this out.

Minus: Don't rent vehicles from locations that have been closed for months

Plus: nothing

Minus: there is no payless at the norfolk airport. they are shut down

Plus: Nothing

Minus: I made a reservation, and when I went to pu the car it was not available. Whats the point of making a reservation if your not gonna uphold it.

Plus: Nothing this place is a joke do not rent a car from anyone other than hertz or enterprise. These people will run you through the ringer

Minus: Everything, no counter in the airport, finally get to the offsite rental place and it’s closed..... every single other car rental place was open except these jokers. Kayaks office is closed they were no help. Payless says I need to call kayak, kayak says I need to call Payless. After the run around for 5 hours on the phone I went and rented a car from enterprise for cheaper and much better customer service. Stay away from kayak and Payless car rental.

Minus: Never prepay. Made everything so much more difficult. Would not let me alter a single thing about the reservation. Even to pick the vehicle up 10 hrs early because our flight was changed. I was also willing to pay the difference. When I could get the vehicle, they did not have the size car I rented. I needed a car that seated 6. When they offered a van that fit 12, I was willing to take it. However, they wanted me to pay the difference.

Plus: Payless was an absolute failure. After confirming the reservation hours before arriving early, we were met with a sign on the door indicating that the computers were down and we could complete the Reservation pickup at the local Avis location. At the Avis we were instructed that they were simply honoring the Payless reservation pricing and we would have to negotiate the reservation refund with Payless. Additionally we watched the same scenario unfold with others in the Avis line along side us trying to complete their Payless reservation. After the reservation debacle Payless was unreachable for a refund. Additional we were unable to reach anyone through the third party website. All this was 4 days ago and we are still trying to get a refund of hundreds of dollars for a car rental reservation we never received. It is fraudulent experiences such as this that deter consumer trust in the online reservation process. We will think twice before using such services in the future.

Minus: Every aspect of this transaction could have been better from transparency of technical difficulties during the early reservation confirmation the day of ...to the current impregnable wall of communication and cooperation presented in an unjust attempt at withholding what should have been an instant and uncontested refund.
