Payless Car Rental operates the call center for this 800-729-5377 phone number 24 hours, 7 days. The short answer is that you should call on a Thursday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 124 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).

Automatically call when they open

When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Payless Car Rental call center opens before trying to call.

An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Payless Car Rental phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Payless Car Rental staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

The least busy time to call

The least busy day to call Payless Car Rental is Thursday. The most busy day to call is Friday, which averages 64% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 124 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

Why Customers Call Payless Car Rental

If you have time to do a bit of reading before you call Payless Car Rental, we recommend you read over some of our problem-specific articles.

What is Payless Car Rental's cancellation policy?

Payless Car Rental's cancellation policy allows customers to cancel their reservation without penalty up to 24 hours prior to the scheduled pick-up time. It is important to note that failure to cancel within this time frame or not showing up for the reservation will result in a no-show fee equal to one day's rental charge plus taxes and fees. This fee will be charged to the credit card provided during the booking process. To avoid this fee, customers must notify Payless Car Rental of their cancellation at least 24 hours before the scheduled pick-up time. It is also recommended to review the specific terms and conditions of each reservation as some bookings may have different cancellation policies based on location and rental type.

What is Payless Car Rental's fuel policy?

Payless Car Rental operates with a Full-to-Full fuel policy. This means that when you rent a vehicle from us, we provide it to you with a full tank of fuel, and it is expected that you return the vehicle with a full tank as well. We believe this policy is the most fair and transparent approach as it allows you to only pay for the fuel you use. If the car is returned without a full tank, we will charge you for the fuel required to bring it back to the original level, along with an administration fee. To avoid these extra charges, we recommend filling up the tank shortly before returning the vehicle.

Are there any mileage restrictions for Payless Car Rental vehicles?

Payless Car Rental does have mileage restrictions for their vehicles. The specific mileage allowance varies depending on the rental location and the type of vehicle rented. Generally, daily and weekly rentals include unlimited mileage within a specific geographic area, typically defined as a certain radius from the rental location. This allows customers to travel within that area without any mileage restrictions. However, there may be additional charges or restrictions for mileage outside of the designated area. It is recommended to check with the specific rental location or review the rental agreement for the exact mileage restrictions and charges that may apply to your rental.
