We rented a small car from Payless upon arriving in San Juan. They gave me a Nissan kick. It was great. They got us in and out quickly, and I found the rate to be very reasonable.

This is my 3rd time renting a car from Payless in the last 12 months. I must say that its service and customer care have improved 100% during said timeframe. They have a fleet of new cars available for rent at excellent rates. This last rental experience was great, with no hidden or surprise additional costs added at pickup time. Jorge, the customer service representative that assisted me at pickup was kind, knowledgeable and eager to serve well. Kudos to him !! Payless is now my #1 Puerto Rico car rental choice!

I had an amazing experience with this car rental company. I travel to puerto rico frequently. The price is higher than when you reserve the vehicle online but if you call them beforehand they'll provide accurate information. The vehicle was brand new. I only reduced a point because I left my hat and could not get a hold of someone to assist me.

Great price, great employees, will continue to use Payless every time I am in Puerto Rico! The customer service was excellent and they work with you, if you have any issues. Recommend to all my family and friends. Vehicle was clean and worked great. Thanks again!

I have many concerns about this company. The most glaring is the price that is quoted online will not be final price at pick up. It will be double or triple the price that is initially quoted online. They hit you with all kinds of fees, many that you don't need. Like a fee for tolls that you will not encounter unless you leave the city of San Juan to go to another part of the island. Most will not do that. However, customer service reps intentionally fail to mention this in order to increase sales. They also fail to mention that you will be hit with a gas surcharge if you fail to return the car with a full tank, regardless of how much gas was in the vehicle at time of pick up. The customer service here leaves much to be desired. The reps weren't welcoming and gave off negative energy as though they were providing a service out of resentful obligation instead of a genuine willingness to be helpful. There seems to be a broad range of vehicles offered. Most are SUVs. Highly recommend some type of coverage on the vehicle as the roads in SJ are awful, and people drive super aggressive here. My rental ran smoothly. On small issues was an under inflated front driver side tire that I didn't catch at the time of pick up. Other than that, the experience was decent

While the shuttle and shuttle driver were awesome, the service was terrible. There are endless EXTRA charges and fees! Even an early return fee that was never discussed with me, even after I asked!!! Take copy of your insurance or they try to take a huge deposit and push their insurance on you. The actual car was fine, service sucked.

Have to exchange the car 3 times. The first was with mechanical problems, the second was filthy and smelling awful, and the third one was not perfect, but we were not going to keep changing cars. At the end from paying $60 ended up paying $218. Two things they don't tell you about are the amount of extra charges and the hold in your credit card equal to your insurance deductible. Awful experience. I definitely not recommended it.

Scam and bad cars with smoke even expedia doesn t show the taxes properly, it said 58 dollars for taxes but then they added almost 100 dollars of more taxes also very small facility - not good get car from a real company this is a scammer on google maps it shows the location on airport but the location is off the airport, another scam .. very very bad get your car from a real reputable company.

They gave me a price when I went they gave me. Another much higher price when you book they dont tell you and when you come tired from a long trip you come to be angry because they make you stupid

Me dieron un precio cuando fui me dieron. Otro precio mucho mas alto cuando reservas no te lo dicen y cuando vienes cansado de un largo viaje vienes a pasar coraje porque te comen de bobo

Every time I rent with them they never accept the car insurance that I carry, but this time it was my fault because I forgot that detail and bought one. No problems with the car and I only paid $98 from Saturday to Tuesday.

Cada vez que rento con ellos nunca aceptan el seguro de carro que yo llevo, pero esta vez fue mi culpa porque olvide ese detalle y compre uno. Ningun problema con el carro y solo pague $98 desde sabado a martes.

Cancelled my reservation with Expedia without notification. SCAM!! I had a reservation going on months with this place. My flight got delayed about 2 hours and they cancelled my reservation. No other cars available. The funny thing is that Expedia is still showing active. So, they do it internally to continue scaming people. My reservarion months ago about $300. Today, more than $900, we all know what you are doing! Be aware.

Ive called Payless Car Rental near SJU countless times and no answer. It says to stay on the line then it just gets cut off. Im calling because the car has a stinks like someone has been smoking in the car, and I dont want to be blamed for it. I am leaving this review because there is no other way for me to contact them to let them know.

I dont give 5 stars since I had several problems. First my reservation was canceled so the offer I was given was much more expensive. The first car they rented me was infested with small cockroaches. Even though it was impossible to contact the store, the next day they called me because of an error and I was able to tell them my problem. At this moment I have to say that they behaved very well since they arrived at the place where I was and changed my vehicle. Our vacation continued without any problems with the new car. I hope to give it 5 stars on my next vacation.

No doy 5 estrellas ya que tuve varios inconvenientes. Primero mi reservacion fue cancelada por lo que la oferta que se me dio fue mucho mas cara. El primer auto que me rentaron estaba infectado de cucarachas pequenas. A pesar de que era imposible comunicarse con el local, al otro dia me llamaron por un error y pude decir mi problema. En este momento tengo que decir que se portaron muy bien ya que llegaron al lugar donde me encontraba y me cambiaron el vehiculo. Nuestras vacaciones siguieron sin ningun problema con el auto nuevo. Espero en mi proximas vacaciones darle 5 estrellas.

I have rented from this agency many times in the past 2 years. The thing that was a bit upsetting is how the person inspecting the car on return implied what that preexisting dings and scratches and dirt were damage that occurred while I was using the car. He only relented when I showed him the photos I had taken before checking the car out and after I cleaned 2 areas to show him they were obviously dirt. He acted as if it was his charge to nit pick in order to charge extra for non-existent damage or damage that preexisted when I checked out the car. Given this new posture by the company it is highly recommend that one take photos of EVERY square inch of the car and closeups of any damage you see when checking out the car. This experience may discourage me from renting from them again.

What a scam! Stay away! We were quoted a price for $33 at reservation and when we went to pick up the car, it was bumped up to like $90. Because of taxes... What a SCAM! Wish we hadnt fallen for this and just got an Uber from the airport to our hotel instead!

Expect to pay more when you reach the counter. Hidden charges, but you can fight them if you want to. Just be ready. I had an email from there cooperate office, that said the only extra charge should be ones you add. Like, gas, tolls, baby seat etc..

Do not rent from Payless. Its a rip off. They advertise a price and when you arrive at the counter you find out that there are a lot of hidden fees.

Online said it was $40 total then when I went in person with all the charges it ended up being $600. They should be more honest, in the end I ended up leaving and renting somewhere else.

Online decia que eran $40 en total luego cuando fui en persona con todos los cargos termino siendo $600. Deberian ser mas honestos, al final termine yendome y alquilando en otro lugar.
