### 1/5 — Terrible User Experience

*2025-07-18, version 2.77.0*

I downloaded Kyte as it seemed like an interesting alternative to using a standard car rental company (Avis, Hertz, etc). My experience ended up being pretty poor. The car was not ready at the booked pickup time (and in fact ended up being about 30 minutes late). They seemed pretty disorganized. Now, 3 months after this trip, I’m still receiving toll charges with no answer or explanation as to when they will stop charging my card. Overall, a pretty terrible customer experience and I will never use Kyte again.

### 1/5 — Poor customer support

*2025-06-24, version 2.77.0*

They do not have adequate processes to handle minor deviations from the norm (e.g. using a temporary license during renewal). After making a series of errors, their customer support will waste your time without providing resolution. No reason to choose them over their competitors.

### 2/5 — Delivery was late

*2025-06-06, version 2.77.0*

I selected 7am for the surfer to come drop off but it automatically changed it to 7:56, so now I’ll be late. Customer service was no help at all.

### 5/5 — San Fran 2025 vaca

*2025-06-01, version 2.77.0*

It was my first time using Kyte. I was thrilled how easy the whole process was. Way cheaper than your traditional methods of the past. The SUV Audi we used was perfect.

### 5/5 — Best rental car company

*2025-05-21, version 2.77.0*

I have to rent a lot of cars for work and this company is hands down the best of the best. Extremely accommodating and fairly affordable. They cut out the horrible paperwork and waiting. It’s been a game changer and brought so many hours back to me. Thank you!!

### 1/5 — Nightmare

*2025-05-08, version 2.77.0*

I needed to change the primary vs secondary driver on my booking because the attendees of my trip changed. I was told by customer service (over “chat,” absolutely no one will speak to you on the phone) that the only option was for me to delete the booking and make a new one with a new account. I did, and the cost had gone up more than $100. I was told there was absolutely nothing they could do. 

Nothing about the booking changed — time, date, location. I just needed to swap a driver. This service does not allow for flexibility, and the customer service support is terrible.

### 5/5 — Great fast

*2025-05-06, version 2.76.0*

Want to thank you for your patience and knowledge great quick
Service

### 1/5 — Joke

*2025-05-04, version 2.76.0*

It won’t even tell you where they actually have service. Won’t find addresses. Very stupid app. Bad company. No money. Bad app.

### 3/5 — Extra Charges

*2025-04-30, version 2.76.0*

Kyte advertises that it will handle any extra charges like tolls, citations and you don’t have to worry about it - however it will charge up to $100 of extra admin fees for paying citations so make sure not to rely on them for this.

### 2/5 — Good idea but rip you off on extras

*2025-04-30, version 2.76.0*

Good idea but in the end not much better than the bigger rental companies aside from the drop off option. I keep getting extra fees after the rental. They don’t let you use your own ez pass but charge you the non ez pass rate plus a 33% admin surcharge on tolls. If you return the car yourself this ends up being an $18 congestion charge because they can’t move their parking situation up a few blocks.
