Luved the agent who handled my pick up and processing. She was amazing and helped me with not only one rental, but two! I wish I knew her name, I would write to her supervisor for how amazing and helpful she was. Tulsa Airport.

Because I reserved through a 3rd party, I feel the rules and agreements were hard to understand or weren’t explained thoroughly. They should have an itemized invoice of all charges pending or not.

Charged me twice, still waiting on refund. Did an upgrade due to not having what I reserved and charged me for the upgrade. Turned car in sooner than reserved for and charged me all but 20.00 less. Complete rip off. Poor company to deal with anymore. Budget was the only rental car company I used to use. Not again!

The tiny car they stiffed me with was nice and clean. I paid for an Intermediate and they gave me the keys for a small Ford compact. When I complained that is not what I signed up for, they told me, "I could take it or leave it." Me and my wife were stuck for driving way over 1,800 miles from Tulsa , OK to Daytona Beach, FL in that very small car.

Every thing from the service I received. Still have not heard back from Dollar after I registered a complaint with them several days ago.

There was a minor and brief mix up where they said I owed $40 more dollars. The guy was helping out at that location from their mid-town office and punched in the wrong code, mistakenly saying I was returning the car to the wrong location. It got straightened out when I objected to any further charge.

They called at 7:30 AM letting me know the vehicle the vehicle was not available and probably wouldn't be. Made it made it sound like I wasn't going to get a vehicle at all. When I got to their office they got me into a different vehicle but then charge me an extra $10 A-day. Makes me feel like it was a bit of "Bait and switch". I will be finally a formal complaint and possibly talking to my attorney. Matthew Van Zee 509-998-2436 Mvanzeemagic@hotmail.com

I messed up booking. I had the in town address and needed the airport. That’s on me. However, Hertz employees are not given the ability to change things. I had to call the 800 number, only to find out they charge a 5% fee to use that service. So I hung up and downloaded the app. Their app then wouldn’t let me change my reservation. Ended up taking an Uber into town for my original reservation. That place was a dump. Staff was extremely unprofessional, moved increasingly slowly and then the car I got was still pretty dirty even after they did a quick clean. When I returned the car there was nobody to check it in so I could get a receipt for my expense report. I still don’t have the emailed info they promised. If you’re looking to rent a car, go National. I always rent there and will never doubt them again.

I actually never ended up getting a rental because the vehicle I reserved they didn’t actually have at the time I scheduled the pickup. That happens sometimes so I wasn’t too upset about that, but I had bought insurance for the vehicle which had to be paid at the time of the reservation but then I canceled my reservation once I found out they wouldn’t have the kind of vehicle I was looking for and I was never reimbursed for the insurance!

I needed a car to drive to Dallas on short notice. I mistakenly thought I will rent a car from the airport location. I was able to reserve the car a pay for the insurance however, when I went to pickup the car I was turned away empty handed. Apparently, If you don not have a major credit card you can not rent a car. However they are more than happy to accept a debit card payment for the insurance. Very frustrating experience and I basically got ripped off. I am comforted to know all of this is in the fine print.

The women that helped us when picking up the rental was wonderful; the car was clean and new; drop off was super quick and easy. Will definitely use Thrifty again.

Prices could be cheaper, but for a minivan with leather seats at about $70/day it’s not too bad.

I got a car...

I reserved a car online- a small SUV. When I arrived I was told they ONLY had compact and economy cars. And that it would still be the same price. I was given a tiny little car with no key fob to lock or unlock. It was really dirty on the outside like someone had driven through the rain and dirt. And the tire pressure was low. I’ll never rent from Thrifty again. I’ll pay a little mike to go with Hertz or National.

Car was not ready. They tried to charge for things in a very shifty way. They did not disclose information that was important to the rental. They were emphatic that there was to be no smoking of any kind in the car and gave us a car that reeked of smoke - and then said that it was the cleaner they used to sanitize due to COVID. RIGHT!!! They charged us (prepaid) for a full tank of gas upon return, said we had a full tank of gas when they gave us the keys, but the car was only half full. When we pointed all these things out, they became defensive, dismissive and resorted to lies.

My credit card that I use for car rentals had expired and you really can’t get a car without a credit card. Also, we rushed to get back by the deadline to the airport and there were very loose directions on what to do with your keys etc. I was nervous about not getting my deposit back.

I received a message while en route to Tulsa that Payless would not be able to honor my reservation as they did not have any vehicles. I ended up stranded as a result. I will never ever book a rental with Payless again.

Okay|Jun 2021

I liked the option with Payless to pick up the car on airport property vs. needing to shuttle to another location. Returning the car was simple and easy, which was appreciated.

The staff was friendly at pick up, but we had to wait in line in the garage to get the keys for much longer than one would expect. A parking garage is not the safest of places to try to wrangle a toddler who has been stuck on a plane for several hours. When we got to the car, the vehicle wasn’t as clean inside or out as one would reasonably expect either. Despite paying more for a mid-size SUV to comfortably fit our standard sized car seat that easily fits in a similar mid-size SUV, it took quite a bit of effort to get the seat installed due to it being a tight fit and then not the most comfortable ride for the driver who had to scoot the seat closer to the steering wheel than preferred.

The car was a good value for the money.

They did not have my reservation in the system when I dropped off the car, so I had to wait for them to finish with another customer so they could locate it. Luckily I had arrived at the airport with enough time built in, but if I was close on timing, it would not have been good.
