Dirty dirty dirty car....smoke & weed smell in the car was so bad we had to leave windows and roof cracked at night to air it out...when home, i had to have clothes we brought for a wedding all dry cleaned due to smell of weed and cigarette. It says everywhere no smoking in the cars...how does that happen and then i have to ride 6 hours each way in it? I strongly am asking for a refund

My experience with Thrifty was great. My problem was with Kayak. I reserved a full size 12 passenger van through Kayak who confirmed the reservation for me. When I got to the rental desk they stated they never had that size vehicle in the Portland airport fleet. They showed me that I had only ever rented a minivan. 12 people in a minivan? Thanks Kayak you ruined my trip.

8.0 Very Good
Girls at desk did not seem interested in their Job. Did not act like they wanted to serve you. The owners manual for the car we were told when we turned it in was in the trunk under the spare tire. there was a problem with the warning message on the dash that said to see manual but we could not find it. Please let people know where manual is. No help on orientation to the vehicle we were to drive.
