I chose the full-to-full fuel policy, but the car wasn’t full when I picked it up. The shuttle bus is shared with Dollar, which resulted in a long wait. The bus was dirty, and the staff especially asked Chinese people for the return receipt, which felt racist and discriminatory. Although the price is competitive, I have to say that the overall experience with Thrifty is very poor.

Let me tell you about my unpleasant experience. The staff at this rental car company are extremely dishonest. The original order did not include an additional driver. He asked if I wanted to add one. I asked about the cost, he said it was free. I didn't believe him and confirmed again; he still said it was free and acted surprised, asking why I would want to pay. Later, he aggressively pushed various insurances, most of which I refused. However, for safety, I added the million-dollar third-party insurance. When printing the contract, I found that the child seat I had requested when booking was not canceled (we brought our own), and it was charged. It got canceled only after I requested it. The list did not show the cost of an additional driver. In the end, I was still careless. When settling the return, the fee of $13.3 per day for the extra driver was listed. Isn’t this fraud? The staff had a terrible attitude during the on-site communication about the fee, and the store manager acted like a scheming rogue, essentially saying that if you added it, you have to pay for it. Really disgusting! I suggest not choosing this store. If you have to, make sure to record the entire process of picking up and returning the car.

They pushed insurance on me even though I already bought it all. They also charged me for a full tank of gas and a $30 road fee.

The rented car model was unavailable, and I thought I was getting a free upgrade. However, it turned out to be a mandatory paid upgrade, costing an additional $100 per day. I tried to decline other options but fell into the mandatory upgrade trap. I didn't understand it well and signed my name, accepting it, but I still feel deceived.

Car did exceed my expectations. I would have preferred to "skip the counter" and go straight to the pick-up lot - which I usually do as a Thrifty Blue Chip Member

I was unable to take advantage of a $30 "discount coupon" mentioned in a subsequent email.
