Having to wait 45 minutes for my car when I had already completed the on line request from Thrifty.

Kayak advertised a 5 series bmw electric . I drove over 100 km to the airport location for this specific vehicle . When I arrived thrifty informed me that they do not carry the bmw 5 and that kayak wrongly advertised that car.

Long lines at mco with only 2 agents trying to sell u everything under the sun. Drop off was strange. U drop it off at mco and they only indpect it when u are are gone and send u an email 24 hrs after saying it was no damage. What if they said there was damage ? How can u dispute it ?

The vehicle was Okay. This office did not have my ready. It was supposed to be ready at noon. I arrived about 20 minutes late. I waited till 1:30 to get the car. It was supposedly being cleaned, which was funny, because upon opening the glove box, their were open snack bags in there. The return was great, because I was able to return it to a different location which went very smooth,

When we arrived they told us they didn't have the size vehicle we had reserved and confirmed. We had to cancel the reservation and find a new company which didn't have what we needed, ended up driving a jump 15 passenger van instead of a mini van and had to pay more money.

2.0 Poor
No car available upon arrival . I was told it would be at least a 2 hour wait. I had an event to be at so I had to get a vehicle from another company.

Got a last minute rental with Thrifty as our flights were cancelled due to a blizzard. They were super helpful, very accommodating and reasonably priced.

2.0 Poor
This location is an absolute nightmare. Read Google reviews all the same story. Bottom line you can’t rely on them to have a car for you when you get there. Doesn’t matter if you reserve well in advance and prepay. And when you finally get a car, I got mine with 16 percent gas left and the car reeked of marijuana. Do yourself a favor and do not rent from them.
