6.0 Okay
I was a disappointed with the price. When I got all the information I have one price and when I returned the car, it is a completely different price. I’ve tried discussed with the agent how much will be the total. I didn’t have time to discuss that because I have to make it to my flight.

2.0 Poor
Had one way rental atl to mia for 12:30 am pickup. Was able to get an earlier connecting flight. Called them to change pickup to 4 hours earlier. They sad they couldn’t, no cars. Absolute nonsense. They said they could transfer me to their “sister company,” Budget, who could provide a car. The experience with Budget was a complete disaster.

Everything went well but not sure why they bother with the online check in process as I had to do it all again at the counter.

Everything from start to finish was great. I have no complaints and I was given a very nice kind of quality vehicle to drive.

2.0 Poor
i request few day before some information about the deposit, they told me in the cornavin agence it was 750 chf. but at the pickup location this number magically increased to 3000. The only way to reduce this oversized amount was to subscribe a very limited and expensive insurance at the pick up point. I had to cancel my booking due to this deposit amount, since it was beyond my card limit amount and i found another rental solution. I find this amount excessive for an economy car rental, i would have appreciated to receive this information in advance.

6.0 Okay
The line to get rental was horrible. There were 5 people in front of me and it took 2 hours to get to the counter and get the car

2.0 Poor
Car rental Agent was very pushy to force purchase insurance, it seems he works on commission, Also threatening me that he is charging my visa daily until the car fixed, this is The last time with Thrifty
