It took me 41 minutes waiting in line to get a car. It should be better staffed given the pint of reservations that day.Reviewed Feb 25 2023

We reserved a Mustang convertible ( or similar ) but were told that none were available. We could upgrade to a premium convertible, which we agreed to, but were then told that because we didn’t have a paper copy of our car insurance policy, we couldn’t rent it. We were then told that a convertible WAS available, so we lugged our luggage to the space only to find it empty. No one was in the car area (it was now 11:45 pm). We lugged our luggage back to the office and the manager couldn’t be located, but we were told that there was a BMW convertible available. Back we went, loaded our luggage into the car, but the roof was not working. An employee tried to assist us, but was unable to get it to work…after consulting the owners manual and multiple attempts. We were then given the choice of a sedan. We left the airport rental facility at 12:30 am, exhausted and disappointed! Doesn’t matter to Thrifty what type of vehicle you “reserve” and pre-pay for!! NEVER AGAIN!!! Done with Thrifty!!!Reviewed Feb 12 2023

2 hour wait to pick up. This is the second time this has happened, went next door to Sixt and was on my way in about 8 minutes as I didn’t have the time to wait in a ridiculously long line. LOTS of unhappy people.Reviewed Jan 11 2023

San Diego combines all the large rental agencies in one line creating a 2 hr wait. It was unbelievable so we went with Payless to avoid the wait.Reviewed Jan 11 2023

The car was in good condition and the car return was super quick. The shuttle to airport after dropping the vehicle was prompt. Perhaps the price I paid was a little high probably because the vehicle return was in a different location.Reviewed Jan 2 2023
