Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The app is unusable on my Pixel 9. It logs me out immediately after logging in, saying 'Your session has expired.' This has been an issue for months, and it's frustrating that it hasn't been fixed.
A Google user
I wanted to extend my rental by one day, but the app doesn't allow changes to current reservations. I had to call customer service, which was frustrating and time-consuming.

The app shows one price initially, but after going through the reservation process, the price is much higher. This bait-and-switch tactic is misleading and frustrating.
