Staff was great, but totally unprepared for our arrival. We purchased extra insurance at their urging, even though we really didn't want to. They gave a slight discount but for all the inconveniences and inconsistencies it should have been more. The car was great and overall service was good

Car was not ready upon arrival. They had to give us a ride to our hotel then deliver it later on. The car was 3 1/2 -4 hours late to be given to us. No offer was made to compensate us. If we would have brought it back 3 1/2 hours late would they have expected us NOT to compensate them?

I wish the price was better for what i got, the car was smaller than i thought for that price.

It was a new vehicle in good condition and it was clean but a major downgrade from what Kayak advertised and what I expected based on how much I paid.

The staff was friendly but it was super frustrating how much time they made me waste while coercing me to buy extra insurance that I didn't want or need. I didn't appreciate all their intimidation techniques as well as with the prepayment of the fuel tank as if that was the only option. Also Kayak advertised a Chevrolet Tahoe or equivalent for the full size SUV category and when I got there they said the Chevrolet Equinox was their full size version and had nothing bigger available without a major increase in price. I feel ripped off on every front and will never again rent through Kayak or from Alamo.

We reserved a vehicle from this company when we were at home, but when we arrived at the airport we were told the car we had reserved was already rented out to somebody, and instead were offered a more expensive alternative option that we had to turn down.

Everything went wrong. The vehicle that I reserved wasn’t the one they wanted to give me. When I showed them a picture of vehicle or similar they blamed kayak for error. They wanted to give me a smaller vehicle for same price. I ended up using another rental company.

The fact that the final bill was not extremely higher than the original quote, even after I accepted the upgrade for an extra 3 dollars per day !

Everything was as I expected in a typical car rental and internationally.

Everything was wonderful at the airport, picking up the car and returning it. The staff (Geovanni and Abigail) were wonderful at the Puerto Plata airport. The office was easy to find and both staff members were bilingual. My only objection was the required basic insurance, which added $180 to my final bill. That was the only thing I was not happy about.

On the rental site it says there are no additional or surprise fees— and when I got there, they wouldn’t let me rent the car without paying an additional $250 for 3rd party insurance. And when I said there shouldn’t be additional charges bc my credit card offers covers coverage— it didn’t matter. They said it was the law. and they also wouldn’t let me cancel my rental so I was stuck paying WAY more for a rental. The drop off was great… but overshadowed.

The car was very dirty on the outside and had less than a half tank of gas when we picked it up.

I like the friendly staff but the car I received was not in good condition for the price I paid,it had a lot of scratches everywhere,not enough gas power for a Ford Explorer,I had to get it replaced and the replacement looked a bit better but had sensors light on,a buzzing sound when the AC was on plus both Explorer had issues with the lifting of the middle seats to get to the last row. My daughter had to jump back on top of the seats to get to the back. The cars need more maintenance. Especially at those prices.

Careful with rate posted and final total. After reserving I got there. Total was to be about 54 dollars. When I went to pick up the car I was told 180. Bait and switch. Will never use again

The car fit our belongings.

The liability insurance we bought was invalid in the DR. We had to purchase one at the counter that was 4 times the price. It took a while to get ahold of the company that we bought from and ask for a refund. The car also smelled of smoke which caused allergies.

Either Allianz lied when I rented car on internet about insurance ... or the Budget Employee lied when I picked the car up. Allianz said I was covered in full for $100 for the period, but employee forced me to cancel Allianz policy buy his insurance that was 400% higher.

Please figure out how to make things consistent and honest for your clients. I feel used and I no longer Trust Budget. False advertising is what brought me to this rental from Budget. I doubt that I will ever rent from Budget again in my life.

This is the second time we have reserved a car online with Budget and had to upgrade once we arrived. We went from $135 to $500. The SUV we reserved was comparable to a Nissan Rogue. My mother in law owns a Rogue, and the rental waiting for us was not a similar size. We upgraded to a third seat, and paid more for 'comfort'. The third seat didn't have any leg room. I had to literally sit sideways. I doubt a car seat would've fit. It was Nissan SUV that we have never heard of. Then we found out that our insurance purchased online wouldn't help us if something happened right away. We would have to pay Budget upfront, and get reimbursed from the insurance company on our own. They allowed us to cancel our policy 1 hr before picking up the car. We didn't realize this policy wouldn't cover us immediately until we picked up the car. We paid $11 per day online. We ended up having to pay Budget $13 per day, and $4 for tire/glass per day. This has been super frustrating both trips in a foreign country!

After taking a taxi to the airport, we were surprised to hear from the associate that apparently the amount paid via Kayak was only an estimate and that the actual price would be more than three times the original price. Because of this we cancelled the car reservation but were stuck paying taxis there and back and paying nonrefundable insurance. The associate was rude and gave no other options. We will most likely not book via Kayak anymore. Thank you, Isabel Haehnel

At the counter I was surprised to learn that I must purchase VERY expensive insurance option to rent the vehicle. This was previously undisclosed. The cost of the insurance was higher than the cost of the vehicle.

The disclosure of the rule must happen at the time of booking with an option to select the insurer online. Making your customers captive leaves very bad taste.

Nothing. I was ripped off and lied to.

They would not rent me the car for the price I agreed to online. They were forcing me to use their insurance even though i had my own insurance, which doubled the price. When I returned it they said I “crashed” the car and made me pay $100 to fix a tiny scratch which i definitely did NOT do!

The estimated price for two weeks rental was $280, but when we came to pick up the car from the airport total price was estimated close to $800. If we knew this before, we would search for better deal. We ended up taking taxi and finding different company to rent from.
