They don't get kickbacks, they get commissions which are sort of the same
thing, only perfectly legal, and are for most travel agencies their main or
only source of income.

As far as car places go, I always give them my Number 1, Wizard, Green
Light, or whatever number when I reserve, and they always seem to treat
me decently, even in Newark.
