Before departure, I was told I couldn't use a UnionPay Visa card, which prevented me from booking in advance. After arriving in Los Angeles to inquire at the rental office, they said it was acceptable! They forced me to choose a mid-size car, but the upgraded car triggered a warning. Picked up the car the night before and had to exchange it early the next morning. They charged an additional service fee for the exchange, which was very frustrating! They also managed to mess up my identification number!
The day after picking up the car, I was reminded to add engine oil. I contacted customer service and was told to go to a nearby Hertz branch to add oil. After driving over ten miles to find one Hertz branch, it turned out to be closed. The next day, Saturday, I drove another ten miles to a city branch marked on Google Maps, only to find it had been shut down. Then I drove another ten kilometers to another location, which had also been closed. Finally, after driving another ten kilometers, I found a Hertz branch that was actually open. After explaining the situation to the staff, they pulled up the vehicle information and confirmed that the oil indeed needed refilling. However, they couldn’t help me add the oil and suggested I return to the rental location to exchange the car. Luckily, I had only rented the car for four days, so I didn’t plan to drive to many places anyway. I decided to wait until the fourth day to return the car as scheduled due to the hassle of driving around just for the oil.
Great customer service. I booked the car under a different name and forgot my driving license, but they changed the driver for me without any conditions. Seeing we had so much luggage, they upgraded the car for free! Big thumbs up to the gentleman, though I forgot to get his name.
The vehicle was old and not clean. The staff's service attitude was poor. Initially, they claimed the reserved car was unavailable. After several changes and hours of hassle, they finally provided the originally booked car.
Since I only had a Mastercard credit card, I tried multiple machines but none worked. Finally, I found a Hertz counter machine where it succeeded. However, the staff member there, without informing me, aggressively pushed an insurance service. I strongly advise other renters to double-check the rental amount thoroughly. This person added over 200 units of insurance to my base amount, and I only realized it was commercial fraud after returning the car!
They trick customers into buying insurance. I had already purchased full coverage through the platform when renting the car, but they manipulated me into purchasing over $600 of insurance upon returning the car. Thanks to the platform for resolving the issue perfectly. Avoid Thrifty at all costs.
The rental company staff handed me a form and told me I must choose one of the first two insurance options; I couldn’t skip insurance and couldn’t choose the third option, basic. Since I had already spent a long time in line and didn't want to argue (my English wasn’t good enough for an argument), I hurriedly purchased one of the insurance options to get the car. Later, I realized it included coverage like highway roadside assistance, which I didn’t need at all since I was only using the car in Los Angeles for three days. Overall, it left me with a very negative impression.
