I reserved a mid-sized SUV. At pickup the rep tried to give me a corolla. Luckily, I know that is not even close to a mid-sized SUV and pushed back, so he offered a KIA Soul which is also not close to a mid-sized SUV, but he said it was the largest they had. I drove 12 hours in the car that was smaller than what I had originally booked.Reviewed 16 Sept 2024

Reserved a car and went to go pick it up and upon arrival we found out they had closed before actual closing hours. Talked with another person that was there at the same time and they mentioned thrifty had given out all their cars. I shouldn't have been able to reserve a car ahead of time if they're just going to give out all available vehicles.Reviewed 5 Jun 2024

Moved us from Thrifty to Alamo. After waiting line for 30 minutes someone tells us if we made a reservation that day or the day before they are booked and we have no reservations. Continued to say for those of you who booked two days ago or prior, you have a 2 hour wait.Reviewed 4 Jun 2024

they were rude and they had all these other rules that I had not had read about. I will never rent from them ever again as the car was dirty and I was basically told it was my fault if I took the car. All the cars I was able to choose from were stinky and looked very rush to get cleanedReviewed 6 Jul 2021

Pros:Staff were friendly, and the car was clean when i received it.Cons:Having my reserved car ready to go, instead of having to wait for over 4 hours in line and to see if i even will have a rental car, (the staff told us they are out of rentals) Also.....have your Thrifty counters open! Both locations were CLOSED and i had to deal with another rental company to just get my reservation for pickup/drop off.Reviewed 1 Jun 2021

Top tips for hiring a car from Thrifty in Dallas
- Even though Dallas isn’t as large as some other big cities in Texas such as San Antonio and Houston, it does stretch out over nearly 400 square miles. And when you include the entire Dallas-Fort Worth area, it stretches out over more than 9,000 square miles.
