I never rented the car with them. When we arrived the man who were on the Avis front desk at Crowne Plaza Corobicí Hotel decided that he didn’t want to rent the car to us. So we never got the car and it was a big problem for us and our family vacation.

The kayak price was way off. The actual price of the rental came to nearly 4 times the kayak quote for the reservation. Will never use kayak to rent a car again.
Customer service was great. They didn't try to scam me with hidden fees or falsehoods about coverage. Another in my group rented through enterprise and they tried to make him pay all sorts of extras that aren't required (we rented in San Jose). I also had some car issues on the way back and they were helpful and understanding.

Felt sort of corralled into the upgrade I got. Booked a 7p 4x4 online and was told in person it was only 2WD. Was then told the Land Cruiser I got was the only one left on the lot. 3 hours later my brother in law got a Land Cruiser and was told it was the last one on the lot.

Budget in Costa Rica, our flight was delayed so we called the 1800 number where an automated message told us that 'if your flight is delayed, not to worry they have the flight info and will hold on to your car, even if they don't have the flight number we hold your vehicle for 24hrs' So that was a relief until we got to the Budget booth in the airport where they told us they didn't have our car and that we should have let them know. I told them we called and heard the message and they responded with 'oh you didn't call the Costa Rica line' They ended up having a car we could use but it was a larger more expensive SUV and needed 'a better insurance package' so we had to pay more than we 'budgeted' for. Use another car rental place in Costa Rica there's lots to choose from.

The manager at Budget Rental Car (San José, Costa Rica) explained that what I was purchasing was an added option for their highest, “full protection”. I bumped the front driver side plastic bumper. No accident. No other persons involved. I put chased full protection. I bumped the front driver side plastic bumper. No accident. No police needed. No other persons involved. And now I have to pay $300 US Dollars for a person not writing a report about it until this moment (2 days after.) Nothing changed, just when the report was written down. As one who works in real estate, I know an added fee when I see one. This is an added penalty fee without justification. I am requesting a refund of the added administrative charge. I purchased the full protective warranty, so I knew I was covered. Except that I wasn’t/am not. Choose a different company.
Horrible. We paid way more than what whas announced, we've been downgraded and the worst part is that we've been scammed, we had to pay 550$ (in addition to the 1100$ we already paid for 9 days of rental). We've been insulted and even threatened by the employee when we asked questions about it. I still haven't received the deposit back (500$). So far, it's like I paid 2000$ for being downgraded, insulted and threatened. Shame on U-Save and shame on Kayak and Expedia for having those kind of scams on their website!!!
