Beware of Kayak and Thrifty in ScarboroughCons:When looking for a rental near Pearson Airport, Kayak includes this place in the results (it is tens of kilometres away). The manager of the place seemed sadistically pleased that I had to take a taxi to get to this place, because he strictly set a half an hour limit on how long he will hold the car for. My baggage didn't arrive, so this caused a delay at the airport, and there was lack of understanding and humanity in the manager. Very unpleasant to rent from. A lot more issues with this place. Avoid like fire. Please.Reviewed 20 Aug 2016

Cons:I have a very serous complaint against Thrifty as they told me over phone that I can park my own vehicle car at the location of pick place but I was told that I can not and ended up parking at paid location and have to pay 30 dollar per 24 hour and so I paid 60 dollar for parking my own car and need my money back I paid for parking this is pure cheating by thrifty u guys need to investigate and help me in getting refund of 60 dollar I paid for parking thrifty rep on phone assured me before pick up that it is free parking facility available call me or send e mail at m.sheni@hotmail.com I need my money or I am putting this bad experience on facebook and all other social mediaReviewed 24 Jul 2018

Pros:Front desk guy is awesome. Super friendly guy and the value is impossible to beat.Cons:The interior of the car was filthy. There were french fries everywhere from whoever had the car last which means that during a pandemic they aren't even cleaning the cars between rentals. I felt unsafe the entire time.Reviewed 1 Mar 2021

Pros:Check-in process is fast and once you know where to go to get the car getting the vehicle isn't too bad.Cons:Been to this rental locations 3 times when I've had to wait 10-15 minutes for the rental agent because they are downstairs in the garage or getting lunch. There is literally 1 agent working the office, so there are often waiting periods, and there isn't anyone downstairs in the lot to help with pick-up and drop-off down there, including pointing out any potential scratches or damage that there may be to any vehicle. I would advise any rental office have at very least 2 staff minimum, so customers aren't waiting for 1 staff to run up and down between office and parking garage.Reviewed 23 Jan 2018

Pros:NOTHING ABOUT ITCons:I made the booking a few weeks in advance and made a lo of plans based on this booking to find out that the office of this company is closed at the time of my pick up! I had a driver's license road test and a dinner plan that I couldn't make it to, because some people are simply lousy! Whether it's on your end or them I had a terrible experience! The funny thing is that I even tried calling their number and I spoke to 4 agents (one of them actually hung up on me) to be left with no solutions! I had the worst experience on this website.Reviewed 5 Jul 2018

Arrived to find Thrifty had cancelled my reservation without noticeCons:Even though I made a reservation for a car and had a confirmation number, when I arrived (on time) to pick up the car I was told by the attendant that he had cancelled my reservation because he didn’t have enough cars. I explained that the reason for a reservation was to ensure a car was available, but he just blamed the situation on the online reservation system. I asked why he didn’t contact me to tell me the reservation had been cancelled, but the response again was to blame the online reservation system. There was no offer to find me a car at another Thrify location. Very disappointed in Thrifty. They’ve lost a future customer.Reviewed 22 Jun 2018

Car not ready. Check in took an hourPros:Airport location. Drop off quickCons:They did not have a car and instead had to take a caravan but only after being pawned off to hertz and back to thrifty again. Took over am hour to get a vehicle. The vehicle was then filthy inside I can't understand how if I booked so far in advance a car was not waiting for me. Insurance sale pushy as usual. Get your own cover in advance.Reviewed 1 Mar 2016

Pros:Friendly, professional staff. Clean vehicle. Easy pickup/dropoff.Cons:I understand there is construction happening on their future office, so the office was a bit hard to find. Large signs would have helped, I spent a few mins looking around Aside from that, it was a pleasant experience.Reviewed 10 Feb 2020
