Showed up and was told same day rental was null and void, never received rental car. This is a scam.

Made reservation over 24 hours in advance. Adjusted pick up time by 30 minutes the day we were to pick up the car. Because there was a change to the reservation, they said they could not honor a same-day reservation, despite the fact I made the original reservation the day before. If not for a helpful human at Enterprise, my fiance and I would have been stranded. Will be avoiding Thrifty at all costs and would advise you to do the same.

They listed cars for rent that they did not have. And the manager of the store was extremely rude about it

The lady at the front desk was extremely helpful, accommodating and friendly. She told me they offer a shuttle service for customers, which I was not aware of and will be sure to use next time. I rent cars fairly often and this was one of the best experiences I have had.

Booked a car for a trip to Asheville, only to be called by enterprise two hours before pickup that they actually didn’t have any cars. All weekend however their website showed availability even though there was none. Something is wrong with enterprise technology.

We ordered what we thought was a minivan but we ended up with a Jeep Willy’s. It was great for the NC Mountainous terrain but both me and my wife had to literally climb in. My wife, all 5’2 needed a boost to get into the seat and me, a 73 year old overweight man also literally had to pull myself up into the seat.

I got to Asheville airport and was told I did not have a confirmation. I am a Hertz member as well. I showed the two people at the desk my reservation and gave her my confirmation number. She said she could not find it. She said I would have to drive a Ford F150 if she did give me a car. I told her no problem, then she said she couldn't help me. They were AWFUL at the desk. Luckily, the man at the desk sent me to Alamo and they were polite, helpful, and gave me a much, much better experience. I just rented from Hertz in Apopka, Florida last month and the experience was excellent. Asheville, I can say I would be hard pressed to ever attempt that badness again, if for nothing else than not wanting to engage with your agents again. They were not very nice. The woman was particularly snippy and grumpy.

This site reserved me a rental and took part of payment even though actual rental location was out of cars. I got charged but was stranded without a vehicle. Won't use this site again nor will I encourage others too

I reserved a car at 4:30 p.m, for pickup at 5:00 p.m. I was called at 4:50 p.m. to let me know that there were no cars available. Why does your system allow you to book a reservation when there are no cars available? Unacceptable.

The car smelled like "pot" and was not cleaned prior to rental. A previous renter had driven the car over 100 mph. The gas tank was not full with 294 miles left on the tank. I returned it with over 350 miles left in the tank. I mentioned the above items to the agent receiving the car and was told there was nothing she could do to correct the issues.

Totally terrible experience. Put in a rental request for Asheville airport and was given a Budget local airport pickup that turned out to be in a shopping mall a $60 ride away. Turned the car into the airport and got hit with a $250 additional charge. Customer service person are indifferent to outright hostile. Stay away from this company.

We entered Asheville AIRPORT into the Search Box. When we got there the car was at Asheville DOWNTOWN. A 25 dollar and 30 min uber ride away. Not sure how this happened, but it was a show stopper since we had to return the car at Oh-Dark-Thirty to catch a 0600 flight. The lady at AVIS at the airport was FAB FAB FAB and hooked us right up with a car at the airport for almost the same price. Be very wary of the location of your car.

i rented for a pick up time of 2:00 on a Sunday. With no notification during booking my reservation letting me know that this pick up location closes at 2:00.! So I had to uber back to airport and i had to rent another car from another company and pay another $400. plus $45 Uber charge, because when i rented no where did it tell me that this location closed early on Sunday. I called avis, and they said they could not do anything but charge me to rent another car. I will not use this agency again.

Travelled 25 minutes to find out the reservation could not be kept and that 5 people were ahead of me in line to wait for cars to be returned. Canceled the reservation and went somewhere else. Guess it was on me for not calling ahead of time to verify availability?
