Silver Springs location is remote but the personnel couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. Very pleasant. Of course, they didn’t have the car I wanted or reserved, but were accommodating and we worked out a deal. Enjoyed the car they rented me.

I wanted to rent the BMW suv advertised and best they could do was a giant Infinity SUV. These are not the same. Felt I paid for a Luxury SUV and got much less. I know Infinity and probably Alamo think it’s the same, but they are not

pick up and drop off was very difficult very hard to find where we were supposed to go and staff was not helpful and could not be bothered to say two words to us. we also had a tail light go out halfway through our trip which did not make us feel very safe that the vehicle was checked over before we left.

They did not specify the charges. When I picked up the car, the attendant told me if I prepaid for gas, they would credit back the difference of the gas unused back to my card. When i dropped off the car they said it was a one time price and there was no exchanges. great way to run a little 30 dollar scam.

The car itself.

The fees and taxes portion of the original contract I paid for when I picked up the vehicle. Upon return of the vehicle I had to pay the same fees and taxes again. Also, how dare that you charge 15.00 for each toll on top of the state toll charges and the 15. each toll was alot more than each toll. I will never use thrifty again and will post negative reviews each and every place i can on a daily basis.

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! I actually wasn't sure it would work out - it was too easy! The price was the best (and I compared a lot) the car was exactly what I was looking for, the dates had the car available, and I didn't have to pay until pick up. There was a courtesy call two days prior to confirm my reservation. I was an hour late and they called the day of to make sure the details were correct. The vehicle was perfect! The ease of everything from start to finish was unbelievable. Customer for life!

Staff was friendly, helpful and proactive. Thumbs up for this crew working at this location.

I understand about not letting people go inside due to pandemic issues. But please find a way to accommodate customers while waiting outside without having to be exposed to sun and rain. There must be a better way to operate. I also fell bad for these young staff working under these poor conditions. This is purely a top management responsibility.

Got to pick which car I wanted.

Employee tried to upsell me with a better car for onlyv$19 more. Car rental return place should be specified by national - not their fault, but it was nearly impossible to find. Luckily there was a gas station open at 2 AM that I could ask where to return a rental car too. It was not at all clearly marked at the airport.
