About Payless Car Rental
Payless Car Rental, a budget-friendly car rental option on the island of Kauai, offers a mixed experience for its customers. While the pickup and return processes are generally straightforward, the customer service at the counter has been described as lacking in the "Aloha Spirit" that is so important in Hawaii. Many customers have noted that the pickup process can be slow, with long wait times and a single employee working the counter. However, the use of the "Fast Break" preferred customer status can help expedite the process. The car selection is decent, though luxury options are limited, as one would expect from a company with "Payless" in its name. Despite the occasional hiccup, such as a malfunctioning radio in a rented Mustang, the overall experience has been positive for many customers. Some have even received upgrades to their reserved vehicles, and the staff, like the helpful employee named Wallace, have provided good recommendations and a warm welcome. The main area of concern seems to be the customer service at the counter, with reports of representatives failing to make eye contact, neglecting to inform customers about additional charges, and generally appearing disinterested. However, these experiences seem to be the exception rather than the norm, and most customers have found the rental process to be straightforward and the prices to be reasonable for the island of Kauai.

The wait is always excessive easily over an hour just to get to the counter. Every time. They know they have reservations. If staff is low they could automate the experience so keys are ready and people have already filled out information and just check IDs and hand out keys.

Busy only few people working very unorganized. When picking up a car it would take a good 1.5 hour

This is a terrible company, Budget also. They are both together. We had a reservation and arrived. There are 90 people in line to help and 50 outside. People have been waiting for 2 hours inside and after they process the paperwork it’s another 40-60 min outside for a car to show up. We ordered an uber and cancelled.
