My 5-star rating for the Payless Car Rental at 6975 Norwitch Drive in Philadelphia is based on the…read morestellar performance of one man: one of the shuttle-bus drivers named (to the best of my recollection) Steve. He picked me up at the Philadelphia airport on April 22, and returned me to the airport on April 28. During the airport pickup on April 22, Steve's shuttle bus was full by the time I arrived. However, because Steve could see that I was in pain (I was having severe back pain), he made an exception and allowed me to sit in the passenger seat. We quickly became good friends on the ride to Payless. Upon following the signs for "Rental Car Return" on April 28, I circled the airport rental car center two or three times looking for the Payless car drop-off location. My flight was at 4 p.m., and time was running out. Upon entering the Avis car drop-off location, an employee told me that Payless is not in the rental car center, but rather at an off-site location: 6975 Norwitch Drive. I sped off to that location and was met there by none other than my new friend Steve, standing right next to his shuttle bus. Upon telling him that I was running out of time to make my flight, he quickly checked my car in, ushered me onto the shuttle bus, and got me to the airport on time. I will always be indebted to Steve. Whatever Payless is paying him, it is not enough. Thank you, Steve. Have a great life!

When you've been on a long all day flight and flew from the other side f the country, you're…read moreexcited to get to your destination and call it a night. I waited for the shuttle bus for Payless. None came. 10 mins came. Called the 1800 number on my confirmation. Passed to a local tel number. Then to another. Then asked to wait another 10-15 mins and to call if the shuttle still is not there. Waited patiently. Then frantically dialed the local number again only to be passed to another local number . Then waited then got passed around. It was ridiculously a big issue for me. All the other passengers were gone. The long line waiting of passenger at the airport cleared up and I was still there. Another passenger offered to take me to the car lot of Payless, it was closed. I called them now really upset, they said they can't do anything as they're closed. So I told the man who picked up the phone I'm so disappointed for this disservice! I ended up in New Jersey with my shared ride , and went back to the airport at Enterprise where it was a buttery smooth transaction ! I went out with a rental car that's new, clean and staff were professional! I only booked Payless because it was on Priceline. Cheap doesn't mean good service. You get what you paid for. What a waste of time and energy and I hope I get a refund as the rep told me 10 business days. No one called me back, no email, nothing. I had to drive 2 hours out of Philadelphia and my entire plan for that night was ruined. I had people waiting for me that drove from out of town as well and the inconvenience to 3 parties affected by the irresponsibility of this business is not appreciated. Do not ruin your vacation, your day or your mood. Rent a car from a reputable rental car company . Pay more, NOT Payless! I should have read reviews prior hand! Save yourself the trouble. It's not worth it!

I went in on and everything was in order. The office wasn't posh, but it was clean. I was in-and-out in less than 10 minutes. Here's where it gets amazing. I was planning to take a sofa to my daughter in NC. When I got it loaded in the van, we found out that the sofa had mice ;( so I dumped the sofa at the curb and returned the van expecting to pay for one day per the rental agreement. No worries. When I got back and told about the sofa. He said no charge! Could not believe it. He was so nice. "There's no way I would charge you since you couldn't take your trip." I'll be back for sure!

We definitely had a pretty bad experience, since we landed at PHL. When we were waiting for…read moreluggage, we saw a hertz bus pass by, thinking we will get the next one. We got our luggage and waited over 40 minutes for the next hertz bus. Got to hertz, and there was only one person manning the counters, so it took a while to get our car. We were guaranteed a model y, but then when we got there, they said they didn't have it, and gave us a different one. We ended up getting a model 3, but had issues with the car. It would reset and unlock all doors every 5-7 minutes. We called hertz and they said they would check the history and call back. We returned the car a few days later, and no one had called. Luckily, nothing was stolen or I would be pretty frustrated. Later, we get the bill and I see that I was charged a "discounted" fee for my one carseat that I originally was supposed to get for free booking through AAA, and now i'm waiting for customer service to review my dispute and contact me again. The staff were nice, and hence the extra star. If not it would be 0-1/5 stars.

I am beyond frustrated with my experience at this Hertz location. My flight was delayed--something…read morecompletely out of my control--and I arrived at the counter only to find it shuttered. Nowhere during the booking process or in my confirmation was it clearly disclosed that if a flight arrives past a certain hour, customers are simply stranded until 6:00 AM. I had a confirmed reservation, yet I was left stuck at the airport for hours with no vehicle and no support. It is incredibly unprofessional to not have a contingency plan for flight delays or, at the very least, a clear warning that "guaranteed" rentals aren't actually guaranteed after midnight. If you have a late-night flight, do yourself a favor and book with a company that actually values its customers' time and safety. Avoid this location if you want to actually get to your destination on the day you arrive.

The most seamless rental I've ever had!…read more I don't usually write reviews for rental agencies but this spot really wowed me. I had to book a last minute car for a two day trip. They only had vans listed online which I was skeptical about but I needed to book it. With the online booking you can pick it right up. Waiting outside the terminal, watch for a city sized bus for National, Alamo, and Enterprise. It took a little longer than the other pick up vans but the wait was not long. At the Enterprise stop, you can just walk up to the car and get in if you're already booked. When you drive out, they cross-check the car against your booking. This part took about 10 minutes including waiting behind a car. Coming back to drop off the vehicle, do not get in the rental return car lane. That is for all other rental agencies. Keep going around the circle in the right lane until you see signs for Enterprise. Then take the left into the lot, and follow the drop off instructions by the guys in the lot. All it took was driving up into a lane and leaving the keys in the vehicle. They scanned the car's barcode and check the gas level. That's it. Then walk over to the shuttle bus to get back to the airport. It was faster dropping off than picking up, which was already fast! I had the receipt in my email shortly thereafter. Oh and the Chrysler Pacifica I rented was not like my mom's van I used to drive in high school. Hybrid. Cooled seats. Sound system. Not bad. I would definitely rent from them again in the future.

No stress about my car being hit or stolen while parked on the street and no outrageous car insurance premiums. When I do need a car for trips back to Rochester or work or...any other reason, I really do not like to rent from anywhere but here. I've now rented 5+ times and have had nothing but fabulous experiences. I am typically in and out within no more than 15 minutes and all of the vehicles I've rented have been safe, new, and included great features. The team here makes sure you're comfortable before departing and clearly walks through the billing. I had an issue where I was incorrectly charged for something and it was resolved same day. The only complaint I have is in re: the Saturday and Sunday hours. As this location is only a few blocks from my home, I really prefer to return here so I have a seamless and easy process. This location being closed on Sunday and only open for a three hour window on Saturday makes that a bit difficult. That being said, I've been able to make it work thus far and I understand that the Center City location is prime for business visitors and less for locals. I look forward to more seamless rentals from here in my future!

Car rental experience went pretty well until they tried to scam me. A shuttle from the airport was…read moreno problem. No line when I arrive. The woman at the counter was very helpful. They did say that they didn't have the pickup truck I rented, but did have an SUV available which I said was fine. She mentioned a Bronco and I thought that would be great to try out. Then I got outside and found out it was a Bronco 2 which is totally different. I didn't need the extra space, but I was excited to drive something different. I just moved on because I got a good deal and it wasn't a real issue. I drop the car off a couple hours early. I forgot to get gas, but I figured it wouldn't be a big deal because I only drove about 50 miles. It came out to about 2.5 gallons which I figured I would be charged for. Then I looked at my bill and found out I was charged the same amount I already prepaid (approx $140). I just spoke to customer service and they asked about a damage waiver. I said I didn't add anything on and that when I was asked I told them I had insurance already. He put me on hold for a bit and then removed the charge and the taxes to the tune of $115. I said I was fine paying for the extra gas which was $23. I imagine they are just hitting people with this extra charge and then not removing it unless you call and complain because there are a handful of other similar reviews. That's a shameful practice and they probably scam a lot of people out of a ton of money when you add it up. I'm glad I noticed the multiple charges and made a call about it, but I shouldn't have to do that. Do better Budget!
