I've been renting from Leslie at Kenny's Car Rental since 2012. Leslie meets me at the airport, provides a good vehicle, and let's me drop it off at the airport parking lot. No shuttles, buses, none of that hassle. The cars are not brand new but they are strong running Toyota Corolllas, not weak micro boxes. On my most recent visit, the car was hit in a parking lot and I was very concerned about the damage. Leslie told me not to worry, it was minor. That alone scores big in my book. I've heard too many horror stories about other agencies charging customer over minor damage or for damage that was pre existing. Leslie is an honest guy who runs an honest business. That is peace of mind I appreciate when I'm on holiday.

I also agree! We have been renting from Leslie for 10 plus years and will be again this upcoming trip at the end of November for 2 weeks. Never had an issue and so convenient with pickup and drop off at airport. We try and leave him a special gift in the car each time we depart. (remaining beer or liqour) Also we never forget to leave him $2 to get out of the lot. :-) Looking forward to your welcoming smile Leslie! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Groovin.gif" alt="" />

Made a reservation with him last October and waited almost an hour and a 1/2. He didn't show because he was "too busy". I won't be driving one of his cars again.

Not everyone or every transaction is perfect. For my part, Leslie has always been reliable. We were a bit worried, both for him and for his business, when he was laid up about 18 months ago, but his wife stepped in and handled it well.

Sorry it didn't work for you.

Once we had a rsvp with Thrifty and waited 2 hours before they told us they had no cars. Our flight had arrived late and they gave away our reserved car. Told us to "return tomorrow for a car." Then the car we got had no A/C so we went elsewhere and finally got a car 2 days into our vacation.

This incident and all the above stated by satisfied renters from Kenny's is why we now use no one else.

Would not rent from anyone else but Leslie. When things are busy you may have to wait as you also have to do with other agencies but the difference is that once Leslie has arrived, it is only a matter of minutes that you are on your way. Once I have landed I go onto island time so I have no problem with waiting. It is worth it.

been thinking about using Kenny this time...but....cannot find a site where the different vehicles are listed with prices,,,I guess the only option is to send an email? I probs need room for 6 in a vehicle, that;s why I like to look to see what their inventory is like.

Go to the TTOL sponsors list for his website. Although I will say that I don't think he rents vehicles that seat six..

I believe you're correct, Carol, but he does have friends he often works with who do have larger cars and he can refer the Op, I'm thinking. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

We LOVE Kenny's as well. Lesley is terrific. Always waiting for us at the airport with a welcoming smile. On one trip we wanted to extend our stay another day. I emailed him and he said no problem. Told me how much $$ it was and to put it in a specific place in the car when I returned it to the airport. So accommodating. Very reliable.

Kenny's has never let us down! always a pleasure working with lesley!
He accomodated us this year with a van since we had 6 people in our party.
We will never rent from any other!
