My flight was delayed. Landed in Honolulu at 2 am . The main customer assistant told me that the rental car office would be closed and that I would need to come back after 5 am to get the car. Another assistant didn’t know this and said the car would be there at 2 am . I tried telling him that someone earlier told I would have to come back to the airport to get the car . The fact that there was confusion bothered me

I rented a jeep cherokee for a week. Pickup and drop off were quick and easy, no lines like the other rental places. The vehicle was clean inside and out. Some minor scratches and dents but thats to be expected with a rental. All the damage was already documented and i took pictures all the way around the vehicle before i left just to be safe. The vehicle was fully loaded and sixt was significantly cheaper than the other rental car companies. Would highly recommend and will be renting from them again in the future.

I booked a car at a specific location and the third party pushed the confirmation to another location. Not only did I have to take a Lyft/Uber to a location outside of where I originally booked the car. I waited in line for 1 hr at the location I wanted only to be told my reservations weren’t at this location and they wouldn’t honour the reservation price and the new price was over 3X’s my booking cost.

The car that we rented and the whole renting experience were good. The only problem that we had was how to get from the airport to the car rental and Vice versa. We rented from other car rental places before and they all had free shuttles to take us from and to the airport, which was very convenience. We had to spend $20 of Uber both when we got there and when we dropped the car off to leave to the airport. The whole experience would be a lot better if the company has their own shuttle, which doesn’t cost much since it’s only 4 minutes driving from the airport.

You need to be able to pick up your car at the airport! Not some stupid location you can’t even take a shuttle to. It’s ridiculous not having a pick up point for easy access on the premises of the airport. Rental location is 452 Kalewa Street Honolulu Hi 96819. Not even near the airport!! No one even answered their phone at this location to confirm the reservation. Poor judgment on your part for people who are expecting a nice vacation and no airport pick up. Not a good way to start a vacation for customers. A very unhappy customer!!!!

Car not well-maintained. Needed a mechanic. I received a new car that had been treated poorly by previous drivers; wear and tear was evident, including an unidentifiable (and somewhat alarming) hard rattle from somewhere near the rear wheels. (Suspension? Axle? Bad shocks?) I only felt comfortable in the car because I was not traveling long distance.

hour long line on pickup.. only 2 agents working.. called day 10 to extend rental ... they insisted on using the same Visa confirmation number which was used on the original rental. crazy... called our bank/visa... need to apply to same card but new confirmation... bank said "happens all the time with Thrifty".. banks not going to re-open a confirmation... just put through another.. therefore, per Thrifty in India, we had to take a day of vacation, drive to Honolulu airport Thrifty, go through hour long line to "re-do" application to achieve extension... said hell with it.. called enterprise .. unloaded golf clubs, diving equipment etc from car, hauled from parking lot to room. Took car back to Thrifty on last day of contract, turned in, then walked around the airport to Enterprise and rented a substitute car for the rest of the stay.. Still lost a half day messing around with the problem.. plus "the hassle !!!!!" all because Thrifty's software is fouled up... plus the long line cking in, plus car with high mileage, plus passenger seat had "steel" frame which tore into you leg every time getting out of the SUV. Not good... no more Thrifty..

I had to wait 2 hours in line for my car. Because it was managers choice, it was a compact or a full-size suv. I chose the suv, which was a beat up Ford Explorer. I will never rent from Thrifty again. It was like I was driving an original “island car” on Oahu there were so many dings and scrapes on this vehicle. For the amount that I actually drove, I would have been better off getting an Uber.

At the Honolulu Thrift counter they wasted 15 minutes of my time trying to upsell a car I didn’t want. They went ahead and charged me for the upgrade anyway, without me realizing it. When picking up the car from the lot I realized they were giving me an upgrade which I declined and asked to go back to the car I booked, which they did. Just returned my car today after the trip. The final “auto” invoice had the upgrade charge added. Now I am fighting with Thrifty’s customer service to take the upgrade fee off my invoice (and charge me for the car I actually used)! Very unethical and terrible service.

For cabrio it was mandatory to take out the insurance for a extra $200. Reserved cabrio 6 weeks ago had to wait 4 hours for car after waiting 1 hour they then told me to wait another 3 hours, Could not wait any longer with 2 kids so I ask give me any other car then. Only car available was the Escalade for $75 more so I paid $275 on top of the expensive rental already, what a horrible experience to start my Hawaiian holiday.

I dropped my car off at the airport and was told to just leave the key in the car. So I left to catch my flight. Upon receiving my email receipt, I saw they charged me nearly $100 more than what I had paid for with no clear explanation as to what the extra charge was for. The receipts aren’t the easiest to understand so I have no idea what charges I incurred. Definitely not gas, since I returned it with a full tank. Such a rude way to charge me without notifying me. Will never book again.

The car was nice. It performed well. A customer service person, after some work on the phone, help me fix two of the issues.

The car was not completely clean, inside and out. But, the worst part, was that they rewarded me for spending more money - extending my rental - by almost doubling my daily rate. Also, they would not offer a weekly rate, even though I had the car for 8 days, because I initially started renting for only 4 days.

Easy drop off

Really aggressive upsell attempts at pickup for better model, insurance, gas. Car was a worn out Kia Optima which felt like a big step down from the Camry pictured when I booked the car. I got the strong impression the agent gave us the worst car he had because we booked through Kayak and refused all the upsells

Overly strict on the pickup and dropoff timing. I wanted to pickup the car 45 mins ahead of my booking as I arrived earlier than expected. I was told that if i wanted to pickup the car then, i had to return it 45 mins earlier as well, or a full day would be charged. Otherwise I would have to sit around for 45 mins before I could pick it up. Its my first time experiencing this policy and level of inflexibility from any car rental provider. On the other hand, Alamo supported me with a flexible return time that was out of the usual business hours for no extra fee, and even threw in a free upgrade.
