Dislike: nothing

Like: Excellent comfortable car, worked perfectly for our family of five. Sat Nav was essential.
Dislike: On arriving at the desk on time for our car, I was told that it wasn’t ready and they were waiting for a minivan to come in. Having prebooked the car and very tired from a trans Atlantic flight I was very surprised by this. We had to wait over 30 mins in the end.

Like: Staff were super friendly, especially at the car pick up desk. Ms. Julie and Ms. Barbara at the Orlando International Airport car pick up desk went above and beyond to help me out.
Dislike: I had to exchange cars 3 times due to several problems, but finally got a nice car and was my problems were solved.

Airport location was hard to locate. I drove right past it and had to make a uturn

I had a great experience with Thrifty car rental in Orlando INT Airport, Florida. My car was in great condition and Alex was very helpful and understanding. Will definite recommend to friends.

Excellent service

Car was full of scratches dints not nice at all.

The car was awesome and as expected and great value for money. It took over an hour to get my car, when my parents took Avis and took 10mins to get their car. Both Dollar and Thrifty are the same company and have the same car line. Not good and would go with another car company because of this. Drop off was great with an excellent lady that helped us out.

Not enough agents available. Slow systems held up process. Returning rental not clear. Rude staff on returning

Excellent service

No fue del todo gentil la persona que me atendio en mostrador, me hubiera gustado que me informara mas sobre el plan para tener acceso a los toll roads que estaban en todo Florida. Nunca supe cuanto me cobraron por gasolina, quisier que llegara una factura a mi correo despues que entregas el vehiculo.

No issues with the car or the price however the car was filthy when I collected it. It hadn't been vacuumed, had rubbish and bits of food in it. I could barely see through the windscreen which was borderline dangerous. First thing I did on reach ok ng my accommodation was handwash and vacuum the vehicle.

Smooth pickup and delivery process.

Incluyeron seguros opcionales, aún cuando se informó que se habíab adquirido a través de EasyRentCars. Escribieron mal el nombre del conductor. Se tardaron una eternidad en corregir los errores.

Realmente me dieron un upgrade porque el auto no estaba disponible

Muy buen servicio

La experiencia fue muy buena y rápido

Muy lento en el counter de recogida ya que nos tardamos mas de dos horas.

Muy buen servicio!!!

El personal muy atento, y el vehículo tambien

Carro atendeu as expectativas, sem problemas para encontrar no aeroporto, atendimento rapido, só faltou um atendimento em outro idioma sem ser o ingles, mas conseguimos resolver.

Very Professional. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless them all.

A terrible experience!!! I don't understand why the so-called prepayment with basic insurance is completely irrelevant when you arrive. You are forced to add so-called local insurance which doesn't even cover personal injury. Although I eventually resolved it after arguing, how many clueless fellow countrymen got scammed?! In the end, the total cost of my rental was: 6 days rental with basic insurance prepaid for 1055 RMB or 143 USD (personal third-party liability insurance 20 USD per day, full tank of gas 35 USD, taxes). I won't choose this rental agency again. There are two different pricing systems for domestic and international! There's no guarantee or sense of security at all!

QEEQ forgot to help me with the insurance! I had to pay a high price at the counter for insurance and special airport fees and taxes. The rental company's counter staff were very patient.

1. The rental staff heavily promoted insurance, only mentioning the abbreviations, saying it was basic insurance. This made me think it was already included in the payment I made when booking, but after swiping my card, I realized it wasn't and ended up paying an extra $150. Later, they said it was because I wasn't a Florida resident and had to buy it. If this is true, the website should mention it, otherwise, the price displayed is misleading. It feels like a tactic to attract customers with low prices and then deceive them. 2. The rental staff also pushed for roadside assistance, scaring me by saying it would cost a lot if something like a flat tire happened, which made me buy it for $60. After having already spent an unexpected $150, I felt scammed and just wanted to end this ordeal quickly, so I unwillingly paid this fee too. 3. I was misled again when the staff said I couldn't pay tolls with cash when driving to Miami and had to buy a toll charge for over $50. However, I found out that it was indeed possible to pay tolls with cash during my journey. I also consulted with three locals, and while they weren't sure about the first issue, they confirmed that the second and third were unnecessary.

Good service, short queue time. Picking up and dropping off the car was convenient. I had a very satisfying rental experience.

Hello! I just spoke with Thrifty customer service, and they informed me to contact the platform customer service to explain the issue and follow up on resolving it. The problems are as follows, please address them promptly: 1. When picking up the car, the Thrifty counter staff recommended an upgrade, stating that the maximum additional fee would be $195.18 without mentioning any other additional charges. However, when returning the car today, the staff handed me a bill showing $349.07, which is $153.89 more than the original maximum fee mentioned. This is very unreasonable. When I noticed the unclear charges today, I called Thrifty customer service, and they said the bill included an AAO item (which was not explained by the staff when picking up the car). The actual situation was: The staff recommended upgrading from B to D and provided an estimated cost bill of $195.18 (the staff marked the prepaid fuel charge of $34.93 and the total estimated cost of $195.18 with a pen). I repeatedly asked if there would be any other charges, and the staff said no, $195.18 was the maximum and it would be lower when returning the car because the prepaid fuel charge would typically be less. So, the additional driver fee mentioned by Thrifty customer service is unreasonable, especially since I was the only driver. Why should we pay more than $100 for an additional driver when there wasn’t one? 2. About the toll fees: We spent four days on a Disney cruise, so it’s impossible to have incurred toll charges. I had mentioned this to the staff before, who assured us that tolls would be charged based on actual usage. It’s unreasonable to be charged for the entire period. 3. About the signing issue Thrifty mentioned: When signing, the staff was in a hurry (eager to leave or end their shift). They only pointed out where to sign without explaining the content. When I asked, he said it was just what he had previously explained. 4. What is the concession fee recovery? It increases along with the taxes under the initially quoted fees, which is also unreasonable. Please assist in resolving this. 5. Finally, my credit card was charged $549 in total. What is included in this amount? Is it $349.07 plus $199.93? Please investigate. Please confirm that the platform previously charged us over 2100 RMB for the car rental. This Thrifty rental fee is very confusing. Overall, Thrifty's fees are extremely opaque, and the service is quite unsatisfactory, resembling a company with random charges. It is far from the car rental company you recommended in Los Angeles, which didn’t have ‘additional driver charges’ and even provided communication via WeChat. I even asked if there was a contact number to ask questions along the way, but they said there was nothing to ask about.

The counter staff at pickup just wanted to make money by adding all the charges together, totaling $303. I raised objections, but they just ignored me. I had to call the rental company for help, but the staff refused to talk on the phone and didn't allow me to take a picture of the receipt. I decided to pay first and then photograph the receipt. When asked about the charges, I said 'no', but they took it as 'yes'. The receipt amounted to over $200. After sending the receipt to the rental company in China, I found out there were three removable charges. When I asked the counter staff to amend it, they refused, saying it was past time. However, another male staff member was patient and explained everything in English, and adjusted the amount to $177 when I picked up the car. Hence, the counter staff at the airport is very deceptive!

The staff at the store was extremely terrible! When I picked up the car, first they told me that the model I booked was too small, and they tricked me into thinking the economy model only had two seats, so I upgraded. Later, I found out that the upgraded Nissan was exactly the same as the economy model I rented a few days ago! Secondly, they made me buy a toll pass, but I didn't need it at all! Thirdly, without consulting me, they bought a full tank of gas for me, knowing full well that I was only renting the car for one day and would never use a full tank! After preparing my receipt, the person hurriedly sent me off and called up the next person in line. I just regret not checking the receipt carefully at the time. It wasn't until I compared it with the receipt from a few days ago that I noticed the issue. This was the worst experience I've had renting a car in the U.S.! I used to trust them and hardly ever checked the receipts. Future renters, make sure to check everything carefully! There are so many traps in the U.S.!

Very unfriendly

Third-party liability insurance was not included in the rental price, so they wouldn't let us rent without paying extra.

I don't know why, even though I took the full supplemental insurance, the staff at the rental office rudely pointed out that I had no insurance and forced me to sign a waiver agreement, making me anxious while driving these past few days.

This company did not recognize my US driver's license. They also didn't accept the pictures of my domestic driver's license and international driver's license from my phone. As a result, I had no other choice but to rent their car last minute at a very high cost!

Forced charges! Even though I clearly declined the liability insurance, they still added it to my bill! I'm now asking the customer service of the rental platform to help me resolve this! I won't rent from Thrifty again!! No integrity!!

The car rental company added extra charges up to $200 without the customer's consent.

The booked vehicle did not match the actual vehicle.

Very bad

The staff was very friendly. I rented an X3, but received an X1.

Fast and convenient, very good attitude.

High efficiency in processing the order, no waiting, straightforward.

Very good

El coche estaba algo viejo y con algunos golpes y abollado, el motor se jaloneaba un poco. Por otro lado la persona de mostrador muy insistente en vender adicionales

They insisted that I buy insurance at the beginning, which I refused.

The car was great, a Dodge with over 10,000 kilometers.

Very satisfied, efficient, good experience

Overall, it's okay.

Last time, I was pressured to buy insurance and a full tank of gas. This time, I refused both. They insisted on selling me a full tank, claiming it would be refunded if I returned the car with a full tank. I agreed, but when I returned the car, they didn't refund me.

Carro velho, cheio de pequenos defeitos. A locadora cobrou taxas que não estavam contratadas.

Thrifty is very bad. They tricked me into buying all the insurance because they said I was too young, and forced me to buy a toll charge and a full tank of fuel. Later, I filed a complaint but received no response. They took a lot of my money. It was already past midnight and I was very tired, so the person just asked me to sign. It was a scam. I definitely would not rent a car from Thrifty again.
