Was charged $20 extra to have snow tires which is ridiculous. Ordered an suv and was given the smallest one possible. Didn’t qualify as a sub for my family of 4. So small we couldn’t fit our luggage in. I will do my best to choose another company as Thriftys sizing of their cars is not normal .

Price was not respected. With the hidden fees the bill came up to 4 times the price

They took my reservation but when I got my uber there they didnt have a car for me when I showed up. Why allow me to make a reservation if you dont have a car for me?!

Pick up and drop off was perfect and seamless. Expected a midsize sedan, which are apparently becoming closer to the ground. It was a low rider car. One suggestion: a short bullet list of how to operate of key features in each car. (Lights, wipers, brights.

New rental garage just opened. Maybe they will work the bugs out in the future.

I was charged $45 to recharge this electric vehicle that I drove only 63 miles. As that is about half what I pay for the electricity for my entire house in a month, it amounts to highway robbery. This charge was not clearly spelled out by the Thrifty employee when I picked up the car. I will therefore not be using Thrifty or Kayak to rent cars in the future, or recommending that anyone else do so.

Such an easy process for pick up and return. The lady working the desk was so friendly and helpful and the service was wonderful all around.

The process v simple apart from the speed talking by our server who was pushing the damage cover.....
