The vehicle was reliable and unlimited mileage was needed.

When I arrived they had given all the cars away to walkins. There wasn't any cars available and I had to wait untill a vehicle came in. It wasnt cleaned and the gas tank was empty. It also made me late for my destination by an hour and a half. I had made the reservations 4 or 5 days ahead so I would have a car. Then they gave me a minivan because that's all that they had that came in.

I liked nothing, could not even pick up the rental because of a credit card and ID “mismatch”. Ridiculous policy.

Never think Payless is less. The pick up and drop off in IND was the same as every other brand. The top brands even share their location and staff with Paylees. Good rental, Good Car, Good Service....

The price was twice what I thought it was when booked trough carrentals.com and the Truck was dirty, including pizza crust from the last customer, also the sticker on the License plate said 6-21 which appeared to be 6 months out of date. Other than that it was great.

The customer service reps for the pick-up and return locations were very kind and helpful.

Payless allowed me to reserve a car but didn't tell me that their shuttle wasn't working. I waited for 30 minutes before attempting to get a new car rental with Avis and noticed the sign regarding Payless customers speaking with Avis reps for car rental info. Then they didn't have the car I wanted and I had to drive a Jeep Wrangler in a storm. I will not rent from Payless again.

I did not stand in line for well over an hour as I have done in the past. I went to another vender. The Budget people are not able to run a rental agency in airports.

I've had an amazing experience with the vehicle, but I was mislead about the total cost of the vehicle. My confirmation says under $300 for the first week, then when I picked up the vehicle the contract cost was over $400. More the I budgeted for.
