The agent was extremely rude. There was an issue with the reservation dates which was my fault. However, the agent was very rude and impatient as we tried to get it figured out. The agent was unhelpful and acted like it was inconvenient for him to help me. I would walk before I’d rent from Thrifty again.Reviewed Apr 25 2025

We arrived and they didn’t have the car we booked. I told them it was fine to put us in something else, BUT they had no cars available. We had to wait for 35-40 minutes for a car that was in horrible condition.Reviewed Oct 19 2024

Despite taking my rental fee with a debit card, they would not release the vehicle to me. I was over 1,000 miles from home, at 0130 in the morning, and left without a vehicle. I was also told it could take up to 2 months for a refund. The gent with whom I dealt at the counter was kind and sympathetic, but the experience was unacceptable.Reviewed Jul 14 2024

Everything about the service and price was acceptable. My spouse is disabled and struggles to walk long distances. Getting from the rental return to the airport terminals while disabled was an unclear process. We managed, but if there was something else we could have some to have a wheelchair available there, I didn't find it.Reviewed Jun 24 2024
