Cheap Car Rentals in Midtown, San Diego from $50

Payless hit me with a bait-and-switch regarding my rental vehicle. My reservation was for a COMPACT SUV - clearly and plainly. As stated here, from the reservation email: Your car rental details Confirmation number: 21080411US2 Pick-up location Payless 3355 Admiral Boland Way San Diego, CA 92101 Vehicle type: Compact SUV Hyundai Venue Upon arrival at the rental counter in San Diego after a long day of cross-continental travel (BTV-IAD-SAN) a Payless staffer informed me that my reservation had potentially been "cancelled" due to my arriving later in the day thanks to flight delays imposed by United Airlines, and that I needed to go upstairs and speak with a manager. Upon speaking with the manager, Jasmin, I was told that my reservation was NOT actually for a Compact SUV but for only an economy vehicle, despite me showing her what my reservation stated. After a significant delay, I was presented with the smallest car on the lot, a Mitsubishi Mirage that ranks as possibly the smallest and most basic vehicle any car rental company has ever sold me. I was told this was my only option, despite the documentation I showed. Not a good experience!

When I went to get the car, the company was already sold out. It was busy Memorial Day weekend and a nightmare to find a car. I was charged full price for a rental I didn’t even get

Terrible

I really had a tremendous experience with U-Save at every level. Had never rented from them before, but would do so again in whatever location they have agencies. I will say for certain I will always rent from them at the San Diego location. Many of the big rental car chains - such as Thrifty and Dollar in particular.....are absolute jokes. It is refreshing ro find a smaller outfit like U-Save that cares about every level of customer service and giving you a good car for your money.

The employee at the counter was very professional and courteous, he took care of us in no time. Right now, it seems everything is over inflated however, U-Save was, and by far, much cheaper than it’s competitors present at the airport. We got a brand new Tesla and there was no hassle. Pick up and return way easy.
