Pros: The rental center at the Austin airport is amazingly convenient as it is directly attached to the airport. T
Cons: We had reserved an SUV but they did not have any. They offered us a minivan or pickup truck for the same price which worked out ok.

Cons: I have traveled to Austin and rented cars. Thrifty has been my only one that charged extra for a toll tag. Others provided the tag and the tolls showed up on your credit card. Thrifty was $35 plus tolls. Unfortunately, I didn’t know this until I got to the counter

Cons: I was never able to pick up my rental. The reservation was for 12pm. I arrived at 205pm. The associate advised me they have a 2-hour no-show policy and they rented my car and had no cars left. In 5 minutes?! I was forced to make another reservation with Avis and paid $200 more for the rental.

Pros: staff was helpful
Cons: When i got there they told me i couldn't use toll roads without paying $25 per toll to the car company. They didn't explain the return gas policy. I returned it just a few gallons short and they charged me for a whole tank of gas. They said if there is any gas short you get charged for a whole tank.
