The gal at counter was not present. Would not let me charge to a new card, had to be the one one file. Gave me keys to a suv that had seat buckles all chewed up by a dog, totally broken.

Beware! Watch out for deceptive pricing!! Made an online reservation with Kayak for a certain price - even had a confirmation- however, a confirmation email from Thrifty showed a higher price. When I contacted Thrifty in Gypsum, they would not honor the Kayak pricing. Good thing I carefully read the Thrifty email or I would have been stuck at the airport with the higher price. Cancelled reservation and rebooked with Hertz.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
The car worked and get us where we were going throughout the trip. The price was great.Cons:
After checking in, I went to the car and discovered the low tire pressure light was on. When I went back in to the counter, the young woman had already left to go home! An airline employee called her, she returned and today me not to worry... she had checked the tire pressure that morning. As it turned out, the tires were fine, but the light stayed on and there was no way to reset it (the button it showed in the owner's manual was non-existent, and the employee had no idea how to help...). I am glad the tire never went flat, but it was a worry to have that list on constantly (this is from past experience with my personal car, which means ^this is serious^ in my personal vehicle!!!!6.8 Okay

Pros:
We have had horrendous experiences with Enterprise. We only made a reservation because they were the only game available in the town of Glenwood Springs, Colorado. True to form they took the reservation for an SUV, then when the day came announced they had none available and a huge waiting list. This went on for days before we gave up. This is only the tip of the iceberg. In the past they rented us a car with a cracked oilpan. On arriving at our destination we noticed a large pool of oil. When I called they tried to talk me into taking it an hour away to a Firestone shop for repair and spend my vacation waiting for the repair.. Sheesh!!!!They finally agreed to a replacement and then later out of the blue, charged the repair to my card.Car rental locations in or near Glenwood Springs
