Aug 2017
Pros:
The cost of the car wasn't as cheap as I'd hoped, but it was cheaper than any other site I looked at without discount. The car was very clean and was great on gas. There were no additional fees after returning the car, and the staff was friendly. I had no problems with this rentalCons:
The distance of the hertz rental place from the airport meant that I had to pay for a $70 cab ride, but it was still cheaper than renting from the airport.Avis

Pros:
The people working at the pick up in Halifax were great..friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I was in and out within twenty minutes. When we dropped off the car in Toronto the process took less then five minutes. The car was clean and great on gas. We would definitely rent from Alamo again and we highly recommend them as the place to rent vehicles.10.0 Wonderful
Oct 2017
Pros:
Helpful suggestions. Maps already marked. Super nice.6.4 Okay
Oct 2017
Cons:
1) I didn't like that the Alamo office was closed when we dropped off our vehicle. We asked businesses close by and figured out what to do. It should have been mentioned on our rental agreement. 2) We were contacted by Alamo the next day that there was damage to the vehicle. It was marked on our form when we picked up the vehicle but it was not communicated on the receiving end. My husband informed them of this and it was cleared. We arrived home to find a letter from Alamo requesting us to get in touch with them re: damaged vehicle. My husband called again to inform them of the history. Message was left a few days late stating the letter could be disregarded.10.0 Wonderful
Jul 2017
Pros:
The compact size of the Tiguan on the outside was great. The roominess on the inside was good. The service counter personnel were fast, friendly and helpful although a little too eager to try to upsize our rental to a yukon-like behemoth of a vehicleCons:
The gas mileage was so-so.4.0 Mediocre
Oct 2016
Pros:
Car was fine, performed wellCons:
Gave me a reservation to pick up after the downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia location was closed. Had to hire a cab to take me back to airport, to obtain car, Besides the extra $120.00 canadian for the two cab fares, the whole first day of our vacation lost. Would appreciate your consideration, of reimbursing me the $120.00, as reservation from Kayak the flawed cause.Dollar

Oct 2019
Pros:
The staff were friendly, but there was a long line to pick up and a long line to drop off. You need a second staff person in the mornings. I won't rent from you again in Halifax. It's too big a hassle.Cons:
The car was also dirty. Not horrible, but not washed, and had dirty floor mats and a couple of scattered pieces of debris inside. This was not a terrible experience, but the pickup-dropoff wait of more than half an hour made it not worth it. I went by the counter of the competition in the bus station, and they had a much shorter line. I'll use them next time, which is upcoming in the spring.2.0 Poor

Cons:
If they had a car available instead of wasting our time, that would have made the overall experience better..10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Drop off location was convenient for walking around the city after. Staff was friendly. Service quick and easy.5.2 Fair
Jul 2018
Pros:
It was great to have a car for my stay in Halifax and it was very clean.Cons:
I didn't like how my rate went from $89 to $177 because I asked to extend it less than 24 hours longer which in the beginning they told me was okay to do. The lady who I spoke with on the phone was extremely rude, so I asked to speak with a manager who was much better to deal with. I think the charges associated with extending it a day was excessive and I felt ripped off. I wouldn't recommend this company.8.4 Very good
Sep 2017
Pros:
Got upgraded good vehicle and good info I could drop at airport with no extra charge.Cons:
Vehicle was gutless poor power, charge for second driver at about $14 per day is ridiculous. Who would pay this? If it was $2 or $3 per day they might sell this option.5.2 Fair
Aug 2017
Pros:
Car - clean, quite newCons:
There was no car for me at the booked location with no idea of when one would be coming in. There was already another person ahead of me in the list who was also waiting because of overbooking so I did not feel like waiting. They said I could pick up from another location and after getting there by public transport nearly 2 hours later, they tried to charge me an extra 'prime' location fee for the new location...Thrifty

Aug 2019
Pros:
Drop off was off hours. The signage for Hertz was poor. Only Avis and budget were marked prominently on the lot. Signage and instructions could be more obvious.Cons:
Thrifty pickup was poor as no cars were available. They had to shuttle me to the local Hertz instead to complete the contract. It took about 1.5hrs to get my vehicle. Once gotten, it was fine as it looks like they gave me an upgraded car-by choice or not, I don’t know.10.0 Wonderful

May 2019
Pros:
We had booked a downtown pick-up at 2 pm Sunday. We got there at 2:07. The office was closed. Two other couples with bookings arrived after us. Called Thrifty. Told we could get a van at the airport, 34 km away. Phoned airport - not trueCons:
If the office closes at 2:00, Kayak should advise their customers at time of booking.7.6 Good
