I did not know that if you rent from the airport location, they Do Not Accept Debit Cards No exceptions. If you want to change rental days they can add but not subtract. Also there is a minimum of a $200 hold until 2-3 business days after the contract has been completed. That being said, I would like to commend the Manager Gardener and Monalisa as well as the staff for working very hard for accommodating My family and I. We were there at 12pm on Saturday until 1:40pm and was able to pick up family at 2:15pm . We had a wonderful time . That was Joy enough for me. The van could have been cleaned a little better bc the keys and steering wheel was sticking with syrup for the previous client.

The first car they gave me smelt like urine. The side of the car was damaged...and had started to rust. It had been like that for a while and they continued to rent it. It had over 50k miles on it! Staff were very disorganized and always calling for cars. Terrible system. Never again!

The day that I arrived there was a shortage of cars at Thrifty, which caused a significant delay for everyone getting their rentals. This was due to an earlier weeks earthquake in New York. Although this was dissapointing as I could not leave for my destination until I received my car, but I have to applaud Thrify employees for keeping good attitude and taking the time to explain to everyone why there is a delay, and that they are doing everything they can to get us out of there. I appreciated the feeling informed attitude. And everyone in line was super kind and positive

The people were friendly and helpful but they do try to upsell (eg electronic toll pass, extra insurance coverage). When driving to exit or enter the vehicle storage area, there isn't much room to maneuver and there are some tight turns.

At the time of car pick up, it looked like a bird egg fell out of a nest and was stuck to the top of the car roof. Scraping it off the car (with a partially formed bird inside) was not pleasant.

Michael, May 2021

Cons:

Car smelled like cigarettes, i prepaid online and then was charged extra at pickup, more than doubling the rental cost. " Mandatory liability insurance, concession fees that weren't mentioned online and $44 for a toll pass which I chose to add). None of which were mentioned online when reserving and paying "In Full". My $125 car rental turned into $300. Felt like a bait and switch. Dishonest advertising. Once i was there for pickup, i needed the car and had no choice but to pay what they were asking.

Gina, Feb 2021

Pros:

Clerk was helpful until I noticed a mistake in the booking and then she said she had no way to correct it.

Cons:

I had booked a one way car rental for La Guardia with a Drop off at Logan airport. When I called to ask if I could pick up the car a day earlier the customer service rep, said "yes" and also that I would save $25 . When I got there the clerk told me that the reservation said I was returning it to LaGuardia. I said that wasn't what I had told the clerk and she refused to honor the lower rate and if that wasn't enough she would't even give me the original price but said now I'd have to pay $80 more than my original reservation. I walked out and got another car from Thrifty. They made the mistake and they should have honored the price quoted. At least the original price, so I. don't think I will book with Enterprise again.

The whole process was smooth, especially once I got to the rental counter. I waited for almost 30 min for a shuttle along with many other people as shuttles from other rental agencies passed by multiple times. The driver was very patient and professional even though a few customers mistreated him because they were upset about the wait time. I thought he handled it extremely well. So I would recommend making sure there are always plenty of shuttles.

The shuttle from rental place to terminal took over 40 mins from return time to finally having a bus to take us to terminal. About 4 folks including myself missed out flights. The terminal is only 1 mile away. It was lunch time, I guess it was more important to have lunch than take care of the 20 folks waiting on the shuttle to terminal
