Rented a 15-passenger van. I wish they had the 12-seat option that instead of a back row of seats had room for luggage.

I didn’t realize that jeep was such a weird card to rent. The GPS dropped me in the middle of Honolulu twice when it failed to function. Interface is needlessly complicated with a bunch of switches that are different than other vehicles. That’s confusing. The so-called removable top is actually only two parts. It’s a tee top, but the roof doesn’t come off over the backseats or the way back. Doors slam hard and lack resistance. I will never rent another Jeep unless I absolutely need offloading capability because this made a terrible car to drive around in.
Staff is excellent. Cars are better than expected and at a great price. The Honolulu SIXT is the best!

We had a firm quote including taxes on the car for 62 days - $3500.00 They charged my credit card for $4500 - The car, service, people we dealt with were great - their accounting department and those that handle quotes and pricing are completely dishonest.

The vehicle on the website when booking was different to the actual vehicle I was allocated upon pick up. So wasn’t very pleased with this false advertising. Upon pick up the customer service was terrible, the lady at Sixt tried to make it out as if she was being helpful when in actual fact she wasnt. I would never book through Kayak and Sixt again. Highly do not recommend

Pick up was bait and switch. Car not ready. Did precheck to “skip the line.” Tried to up sell me in order to get into a car. Waited an hour and forty minutes and told only car available was compact, not SUV and there was no way to refund money. I held my ground and got the car unordered but was terrible customer service and terrible policy and management. Will NEVER use Hertz again and will be telling this story on social media platforms.

Very quick to get the car - didn't have to go to the counter. Text/email updates to automate car pickup worked great.
We wanted a fuel efficient sedan. Instead we got a ridiculously huge gas guzzler of an SUV that left us with a huge gas bill and was next to impossible to maneuver around the city, especially parallel parking.

It should have been known ahead of me flying in and picking up the car that even with a deposit I would not be allowed to rent certain cars without a credit card. I was willing to double my deposit and buy there insurance but still could not get car I reserved. I normally have my Amex on me but unfortunately left without it. Fortunately I had plenty of cash in my checking account to cover all expenses, so I thought. Really started our vacation out on a very bad start. Ended up with a tiny car for a family of 5 with luggage. If you are willing to over pay for the insurance and put a much larger deposit down. Then why fret over not having a Credit Card. They even ran a credit check when I said I left my Credit Card. It’s only a Jeep not a Maserati.

The lady who checked us in was nice. Car was dirty, and had alot of dings.
Our reservation price did not match what Thrifty had. Took 30 minutes to straighten out. Agent was very nice. We also had to wait 30 minutes in line because although there were 8 counters, there were only 2 agents. We were very tired and had wished things had gone more smoothly & a little faster. We ended up taking an hour to get our rental car.

Well...it all started when I landed at the airport and walked over to the rental car counter. Thankfully there was no wait at all which was nice. However, after pulling up my reservation they immediately told me they did not have the vehicle I reserved. Which is the entire point of making a reservation, so they would hold (aka reserve) the vehicle I selected. So off the bat that was very disappointing. That was strike one. They offered me a "complimentary upgrade" to a minivan. Going from a full size SUV to a minivan is not an upgrade in my eyes and I told them that. As a result, they offered me a downgrade to a smaller SUV, but didn't offer any kind of discount in the total fee. So that was strike two. After settling on a vehicle, I handed over my license and credit card and low and behold, another ~$138 bucks were due at the counter. This was for taxes/fees/usage/blah blah blah (not gas), all the things that I thought I already paid, and the only reason I went with this booking was because of the lower rate. Turns out it was just as expensive as all the others after you added in these additional charges. Why in the world would you not charge these at the time of the booking? I'm sure they can offer some explanation consisting of "We don't charge these at the time of booking because if your trip changes then these charges will change and blah blah blah blah", but the truth is likely that they don't charge them up front so it looks as if you're getting a better rate. Then when you walk in the door to pickup your car, and you have no other options because all of the other vehicles are booked, you're up the river without a paddle and you're forced to proceed if you want the vehicle. There's strike three. Normally they'd be out, but it keeps going. After finishing the paperwork and going through the above hassles (after a full day of traveling keep in mind), I short stroll down to the parking garage where I'm directed to the vehicle. I do a walk around the outside to check for damage, which there was minimal damage in the form of small scratches and dings, I hopped in and got on my way. To my unpleasant surprise, about 20 minutes into my drive away from the airport, I noticed an ant on the center console. I squished it and didn't think much of it. It wasn't until the second ant, then the third, forth, fifth, sixth...etc appeared and were squished that I realized there was an ant infestation in the vehicle. Luckily it seemed to be centralized around the center console, however my party did end up with multiple unidentified "bug bites" by the end of our trip. Strike 4. Needless to say, after trip suggestions to Thrifty and any other companies involved in this rental experience: 1. Don't offer a reservation if you do not understand the definition of a reservation. That is the definition of incompetence. 2. Don't try to up--sell a customer to something they don't want, and adversely, if the customer settles for a lesser vehicle than what was "reserved", give them the appropriate discount. 3. Don't hide fees or costs, if you can't compete with other rental companies by being honest about the total cost, you shouldn't be in business. That's unethical and shouldn't be part of your "business plan" for success. 4. Clean the cars. It's not hard. Seriously. I will say, on a positive note the overall time to pickup and drop off the rental car was very quick. Also the attendant handling the multitude of issues was professional and polite.

Did not like discovering the hidden costs of adding a second driver. The pickup experience was AWFUL - 2-and-a-half-hour wait for the vehicle in a sultry garage without water or bathrooms - after we had completed the rental agreement. Will never rent from Thrifty again.
Really bad , bad customer service , the car was very old and the price that was indicated was in Canadian and we had to pay in US for the same amount very disappointed

Horrible service. Waited 90 minutes to get car. Outside in sun, no bathrooms. Car was a 15 year old Jetta with soiled seats, headliner falling out. Upon return they asked me to vacuum sand from the beach out of back seat. waited outside in sun with no bathrooms for another hour just to return vehicle.

One of the tires had a leak and we had to re-inflate each morning. The key fob didn't work and we could only lock/unlock the car manually. The Bluetooth/stereo would freeze and re-boot every 10 or 15 minutes of driving, the drivers seatbelt didn't automatically retract anymore and there were random pills in the door pocket when they gave us the car.... If Kayak had disclosed the rental company before booking, I would have gone with someone else. The car was cheap though so at least I saved some money.

Got to the first vehicle they offered us and it was broken and had tears in the seats and missing parts of the interior. They then said that they didn’t have anything else in the full size suv that I paid for so I had to pay to upgrade to a smaller suv cause it was considered luxury. That vehicle had no shock and was the worst and bumpiest vehicle I have ever driven.
Upon arrival the agent was very aggressive with pushing an upgrade. We reserved a mystery car which was described as a potential EV or similar. We were given a suburban which would not fit in the garage. She would only allow us an “upgrade” to receive a standard size vehicle. The service and pressure to pay more are insane! If I have a choice in the future I will NEVER rent from Avis again. Complete manipulation especially when having traveled so many hours to show up tired and having no other options. It’s sickening that these companies are so misleading!

Everyone was friendly and pickup and drop off was super efficient and easy. I did take photos of inside and out since they didn’t do a pre-check out car inspection. But had no issue with returns.
The check in was incredibly quick, they had the exact vehicle I wanted and I went straight to it in the lot after checking in. The price was good for what I needed and check in was contactless and smooth. 10/10 will use again
