I had reserved a car ahead of time at least 2-3 weeks prior to my trip! And had paid it for it ahead of time. When we got to the Thrifty rental site, we chose to use the kiosk to sign in since the agents were busy with other customers and thought it would save time. When we checked in the kiosk , at the end of submitting all info we were told it could take several minutes to process our information. At that moment an agent was available and said he could help us but we told him that we had put all info in and we were waiting for the machine to process our information. He said there was nothing he could do to help us. We had to wait. Fortunately we had only to wait only 3-5 minutes. Then we were able to go to another agent who made us go through all the information we had provided at the kiosk! Next we went out to the garage to get our car and thought all was good after a frustrating and lengthy experience at the rental counter. As we were driving out with our car at the exit office our car was scanned and we were told IT WAS NOT RENTABLE!!!! The booth agent then took a marker out and starting writing on the window that car was not rentable and had us back up and drive it back to Thrifty pick up. When we returned to Thrifty pick up, we were told we could not park the car in pickup and had to take it back to drop off! We had not even left rental pick up lot! We parked the car in the pick up lot and had to wait as the pick up agent showed other people to their cars. Finally we were given a car and had no issues leaving the airport. That night was not terribly busy but we had to wait at least an 1hr and 15 min. to leave the airport. I have had way better experiences working with other car rental companies in large airports like Houston and never had to go through this. I will not be using Thrifty again because the service was POOR. The car was clean and comfortable though!Reviewed Nov 8 2024

Reserved a Jeep Cherokee type vehicle. 3rd party CarRental.com booked an electric car. I had to pay extra at the counter to get the type of vehicle I reserved. The vehicle I rented has significant wheel noise. No one is ever interested in listening or addressing the detailed issuesReviewed May 14 2024

It needs to be explained better on which cars need a major credit card and which ones can be rented with a debit card. I reserved a rental for a trip and when I went to pick it up they denied it because all I had was a debit card. So unfortunately I wasn't able to make my trip. I'm very disappointed in the service that I was givenReviewed Apr 5 2024
