Agent was dishonest and insisted that I needed to add insurance by Florida state law. Argued with me for almost 5 minutes. I needed the car so I conceded. Then called customer service to address the issue and they could not help me. Will never rent from Thrifty or Dollar again.

Even though my vehicle was reserved and prepaid for when we arrived at the airport early in the morning there was no vehicles available. We had traveled all day and arrived after midnight and looking forward to getting some sleep. When we got to the rental counter the line was roughly twenty people long and we were all told they were completely out of vehicles and had nothing to give anyone... Had to wait in line at other companies to get something to use for our trip. Then the refund process was about the worst because I had prepaid they didn't want to return any money. Took many emails and phone calls to get anything done and finally receive a refund. Don't rent from them!

What a scam. The rental cost I locked online more than doubled after they added their fees and CA taxes - the counter agent also lied and said liability was required in CA but it’s not if you have your own. She also said it was cheaper to have them refuel. Not even close. I am waiting for a resolution but wouldn’t rent from them again.

I was told I'd have a large van and was given a mini-van. The cost I agreed to was in the $900 range. I called ahead to be sure they had the van and also that they confirmed the price. When I arrived to pick it up, after waiting nearly 2 hours in line, I was charged upwards of $1600. I would never have agreed to this and found another option, however, my family was all arriving that day for a very important event and all of it depended upon having a van - and the van we received was not large enough and did not match the van that I reserved online.

Ms.Jada i believe was her name was so nice. Even with the phone being busy ringing she was so patient and respectful.

8.0 Very Good
Of course I think it was too expensive. The previous inconsiderate renter had smoked a cigar. Thrifty did a good job of scrubbing it, but it could be smelled when sitting in sun and cab was hot. All employees were nice and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate renting from Thrifty again.
