Thrifty saved my day

Pros: My original rental car would not start after the first day. Normally I would have had to return the car to the airport but I am on call and in a situation where I could not do this with much effort I did manage to leave a message for the oncall manager and to my surprise they showed up with a new car and exchanged it for the faulty one at my Airbnb where I was staying. Thank you for going above and beyond late in the evening to accommodate my needs I appreciate that you recognized that I was in a very challenging situation

Cons: It took a lot of convincing I was surprised there was no manager on site at 8 in the evening but they took care of it anyway thank you

Saved $400 vs quote from Enterprise! Really! $700 vs $1100.

Pros: Enterprise used to be the 'low cost' provider in rental cars. Maybe a coincidence, but, after the recent passing of Enterprise's founder, I have twice been disappointed, price-wise, with E. Last fall I really got gouged, $200 for a 2 day rental from E. Thrifty is now my go-to rental car company.

Cons: As with most rental companies, I think the default is, 4 cylinder cars. Maybe that's ok in flat cities, but it's definitely a disadvantage in the mountains. "If" you can get an upgrade to a 6 or 8, you might want to consider it. Hey, ask for it and see what they say.

Rental car

Pros: Great gas mileage and great features on the car with the cruise control extra options of slowing the car down for you.

Cons: Just that I drive suv and wasn’t used to sitting so low. Didn’t like the upscale pitch was pushy.

Double check the estimate at pickup

Pros: The car was a Ford Fusion hybrid. It got almost 40 miles per gallon which made it extremely inexpensive to drive everywhere.

Cons: What I didn’t appreciate as much was that when we went to pickup the car, the attendant gave me an estimate that was almost three times the original reservation ($1250 versus $466). When I asked how they could be so different, he said we booked through a third party so he couldn’t see the insurance we had purchased. So when he added Thrifty’s insurance, our estimate was excessively high. I had him remove their insurance and re-run it. Before he would do it though, he made us tell him who our car insurance carrier is to confirm they would cover it even though we had purchased insurance. He also told us that if we were in an accident, they would go after us and we would have to go after the third party insurance company. When he finally re-ran it, the estimate was almost the same as the original; close enough to take it and move on. The whole interaction seemed awkward and borderline deceptive. Finally, I was unaware that Thrifty is affiliated with Dollar. I’m not sure why they operate under two company names but share a counter and employees.

Fun Ride!

Pros: I am glad I got a small SUV over the economy, after I learned the economies do not have cruise control. Better for handling than a big truck too...

Cons: I wish the small SUV was priced the same as the truck, which was another option...

Great experience, beginning to end

Pros: The experience was made extra nice by the woman working in the counter - Eliani (I'm sure I'm misspelling her name). Not only was the rate great, she also offered us to use the AAA discount and have the second driver for free. The car was a brand new Ford Taurus (less than 1000 miles). And the total for 5 days was $120, with no surprise charges. Can't ask for more.

Happy, For the Most Part

Pros: Car was clean. It drove nicely, felt super reliable. I received a Nissan Sentra, which was perfect size for me to take on short distance roadtrips out in western US. I thought I got the rental for a decent price.

Cons: I was dismayed at all the extra charges the representative was trying to push on me as I was acquiring the rental. One shot was fired after another: extra insurance coverage (in case of collisions), oh, here is a more expensive SUV you may want to use in this part of the country, oh how bout this car that's slightly more expensive than the one you asked for, and how bout paying for a full tank of gas now instead of having to worry about bringing the car back with a full tank. I didn't accept any of these extra fees and did my best to be careful when driving the car. I think what annoys me most is their threat of making you pay for a chip that shows up in a windshield, like how do you have control over such a thing from happening??? YOU DON'T.

Pros: Car was comfortable
