Book Thrifty car rentals in Austin

Cons: N/A

Cons: We were forced to cram 6 people plus luggage into a compact SUV for a week.

Cons: The number I was quoted at the time of reservation was cheaper than what I was told it woudl cost at time of pickup. This felt very deceiving. I was confused why the amount it would ultimately cost was so different.

Cons: I did not like the condition of the car interior. This was supposed to be a no-smoking care, yet there was a cigarette burn hole in the driver seat and each of the seats had stains of some sort.

Cons: Price. Fees were not advertised and were enormous.

Cons: Booked it on Kayak for a certain price and got charged significantly more. Not it is a lot of work to fight it.

Cons: It was confusing to be charged for gas when I initially picked up the car and then to receive a credit when I dropped it off with a full tank. I would have preferred not to have been charged initially, which is what most car rental agencies.do.

Cons: Despite the fact that my reservation was tied to my flight number and the flight was on time, the agent said they gave my car away five hours earlier. He refused to honor my reservation, and offered another car at three times the price. He was actually happy when I said no, and told me he hoped 20 more people didn't show up that afternoon. Luckily I was able to walk over to the National desk and rent a better car from someone who knows how to treat a customer. I know where to rent from now on.

Cons: Car interior was very stained, but that is o.k. just sad that people when they rent to not take better car of the fabric. My only real complaint was the $20.00 toll road charge add-on. I did not see that information anywhere when making the booking. I told the women at counter I would be only on 71 W and E and 183 N and South only as far as the arboretum area of AUS. She said 183 was a toll and I would have to pay the $20. In fact, I learned from residents of AUS that I was Not ever on a toll area of 183. So felt that was not a legitimate charge.

Cons: The price! The estimate on Kayak was $61. My actual price was over $150. I was tricked by Kaual to think this was the actual. I will not use Kayak again nor would I ever recommend them. Kayak uses deceptive pricing to hook a customer then the merchant, in this case Thrifty, claims they cannot live up to Kayak's pricing. I was tricked once - it won't happen again!

Cons: I was charged more than my quote and told too bad by local Thrifty agent.

Cons: The cost quoted on kayak was not accurate when I arrived to pick up the car. Even without paying for any of the extras (insurance, gas, etc.) It was 25% more than I expected based on my reservation quote & the thrifty person who I dropped the car off with was very rude.

Cons: Maintenance was somewhat lacking. Tire pressure light was on and should have been taken care of prior to pickup but other than that, it was a great rental.

Cons: Kayak quoted me at $78 and change and when I got to thrifty I ended up paying $150 and change. So disappointed. Thrity has no info from the third party I went through on Kayak. So many more hidden fees. Kayak or its third party and Thrify need to communicate. I won't be using this car service in the future.

Cons: The tags were expired and we got pulled over, missed our swamp tour because of it. Car was dirty when we picked it up, wrappers in the back seat and the car was dirty. I want someone to call me please.

Cons: Smelled like smoke,

Cons: The outside off the car was cleaned but I didn't notice till I drove away that the inside of the car was dirty. It seems like the previous renter spilled coffee and it wasn't cleaned up at all. In addition, I dropped off the car in the morning and there was no room to enter the Thrifty drop off rental. There were about 15 returned cars parked all the way up to the entrance. The reason why is because there was no one working there at that time (5 to 6am), this delayed a few of us who were dropping off at that time. There is a poster that asks renters to write down mileage and gas and to leave the key and jacket in the dropbox WHICH was broken. Very inefficient and insecure system.
