I waited for over 2 hours for my vehicle at the airport and then waited another 30 minutes in the garage only to find out literally the only vehicle they had was a minivan and not the truck I needed. 3 other people went after me and picked up other vehicles but for some reason they singled me out and literally just ignored me while I waited patiently. The staff were not clear in what the problem was nor was there any sort of management or sense of urgency. I want a refund for wasting my time, giving me a terrible large oversized vehicle for me just one person, for my one vacation I take a year, and doing nothing to treat me as a customer or person. They could have easily given me a small car or suv but said no when asked.. minivan only. They also messed up on the booking and added a day before I even picked it up.

It took almost an hour to get our car (and we had a six month old baby in 80+ degree heat) after we spent 30 minutes at the desk on the paperwork. Sounds like the location of the cars was far away from the airport even though we had a reservation for a van and the correct pick up time.

I picked up the car at off-peak time and the rental was a breeze. I don’t think it took 5 minutes, from counter to driving away. Rental car was clean and got great gas mileage which saved money on top of the Kayak/Payless savings. All good!

Our rental ended up being through hertz since i guess they all share a counter down there. So not really any interaction with Thrifty.

JUST DON'T USE PRICELINE. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE COMPANY TO WORK WITH. Especially during covid.

Staff very friendly. drop off simple as a man in the garage was able to accept the key.

didnt like that I was told, after charged, that the option I chose for gas meant thst I had to pay for a full tank of gar regardless of how much gas I left in the tank, and that I had to pay for the priveledge.

The staff was very friendly and helpful both during car pickup and dropoff. Top rate people! Even when our plane was delayed the person on the phone was very helpful in keeping our car for another day. It was a great experience.

Honestly, the experience was a 10+ all around.

It was almost impossible to cancel the reservation. First you are advised to call, then you are told you cannot speak to anyone. Then the website was difficult to use to cancel. Then I get assessed a cancellation fee. Outrageous!

My flight changed so I got there earlier. They didn't have the car I'd asked for, so had to pay a lot of upgrades, including an extra day because I was 2 hours early. Check in was very slow because salesman spent time trying to upgrade everyone in line. Other than that they were perfect

I left my iPhone in the car and when I returned to get it, they had already moved it. I told the attendant what happened and he sent some one to go check the back seat and with in 2 minutes I have my phone back. I so much appreciated that

Car stunk of cigarette smoke. It was a bigger process than we imagined getting the car at the airport and once we did, we didn’t feel like going back and asking for another SUV so we just drove with the windows down a lot.

Drop off easy.

Dollar window was closed so we had to go to Hertz who took their customers first. Car was very stinky and the key fob went dead half way through our trip and we had to stop and replace it as we were afraid the car wouldn't start or we wouldn't be able to lock or unlock it at a stop

Not Much, the prepaid rate was a joke. I still had to pay 391$ after I picked up the car.

Nice car, lousy attitude of personnel, and ridiculous over-rental-time policy. Let’s face it: Travel involves lots of unexpected events….like cancelled flights. But be assured…..that doesn’t matter to Avis or their employees, even if you’re only two hours late. They’re gonna charge you another FULL day — with a “so sad…..too bad” attitude. I have told Avis they have lost a good customer forever. Arrogance and stupid policies don’t mix well with proper customer service.

Great car. 5 stars except drop off wouldn't let me pay with a different credit card without going to office.

Drop off was super easy

30 minute wait to get to the counter then another 30 minute wait for them to get our vehicle to us. Why we waited we watched the shuttle driver park and walk in to get a bag of food, then when I asked how long until he had our vehicle he said it was next. Only to bring the wrong one. About 30 minutes later we had our vehicle.

We booked an SUV online but were told they didn’t have any available. In fact they didn’t have any cars at all. We had to wait about 3 hours (there were several other who we’re waiting as well) for a car to be returned and cleaned. This put us off schedule and we missed our appointment.

Spent almost an hour at the desk for pickup, and I was the only one there. Bother employees were new, and didn’t know exactly how to click through all the screens/forms. They were nice and friendly, but company shouldn’t leave them to hang like that. Not to mention I shouldn’t have to wait that long.

This was a last minute rental, and everything worked out perfectly. We even got a free upgrade (from compact to SUV). Would definitely rent from them again.
