This is a tough review to leave as it was a very mixed experience. The first part of our experience with Thrifty was absolutely horrifyingly terrible. Our flight was scheduled to land in Seattle at 12:15 AM and we scheduled our pickup for 1:00 AM. We made it to the car rental facility at 12:58 AM. Were very very rudely told to go down to the 3rd level where someone would help up pick up our vehicle because apparently the front desk closed at 1:00 AM. well we made it down to the 3rd floor where there was not a single person working behind the thrifty counter. As a matter of fact, the kiosk didn’t even have lights on. However, there were many other people waiting. We’d went upstairs to double check if someone was ever going to come down and help up. When we’d done that, we found out that all of the people upstairs had completely left without ever coming to check if the probably 20-30 people waiting down there had received their vehicles so they could leave. At that point we’d found out that someone else who was waiting to pick up a car was scheduled to pick up their vehicle at 1:30 AM. Why would you be able to schedule a pickup time for a time that no one would be there to help you? Everyone had to leave for the night and order Ubers or find a different rents car with a different company. We had to Uber to our hotel. Which we did not get to until almost 2 AM. Then we had to Uber back to the car rental facility the next morning. This is where the story turns for the positive. At this point we literally just wanted a car to get around. The woman (whose name I greatly apologize for not remembering because she was amazing) who helped up totally turned the situation around. She listened to what happened to us and refined our Ubers, gave us a discount, and upgraded our vehicle for free. While I would have a very hard time recommending using thrifty to someone else, I will say the second person who helped us very much rectified the situation.

Good price for the car. But the line at the car rental place was very long and there were not enough people serving customers. Also, when I brought the car back I was not given a receipt but was told I would get one in email. Well, I AM STILL WAITING. Where's my receipt? Why can't it be given to me immediately?

Made a reservation with a great price via Kayak for Thrifty. Then set up loyalty account so I could use dash-and-go car pickup. Had to contact Thrifty via FB messenger. After 3 hours they told me in chat that the only way they could add the loyalty number was to cancel and rebook. Doubt I could get the great price again! Another 2 hours and chat checked in to see if I needed any add'l help. No confidence with a car company that cannot manage data input better than this, no confidence my car would be adequate and/or my paperwork simple.

I showed up 5 min early and they didn't have a vehicle for me and wouldn't have one until 5 hours after my scheduled pickup. The only thing they said I could do was cancel and when I said that's what would have to happen I was still charged and am now having to wait for a refund. This lack of accountability and responsibility on their part caused me to miss an entire trip, and financial stress. Actual worst car rental experience, I would rather use Turo even if they are more expensive.

Mediocre|Aug 2023

They definitely needed a lot more people for check in. Took close to an hour. Also, I paid for the additional driver and they ended up doing the calculations in a way that they charged tax on the entire vehicle cost and additional driver instead of just the additional driver (since I had already paid the other costs). So my tax was like $7 higher than it should have been. Its not a lot of money, but it is the principle.

No keys for any cars. Had to wait an hour for a manager to deliver them. Car was less than 1/2 charged. Lame. When returning the car, I waited for 10 mimutes before an employee said I could just drop my keys and leave. Not a positive experience at any point.

When I arrived they couldn’t find my confirmation number and had zero cars to rent so I had to go to another rental place and had to pay $600 for what they had!

The staff were very friendly and more than happy to work with you. Being from out of state there were some difficulties but they were instrumental in making them easy to deal and smooth.

When I was looking through the car there were fries and pringles under the seat. I do think a little more transparency about fees and processes would have been nice, however, the fault is on both sides as I did not explicitly say I was from out of state when they called to confirm.

Mediocre|Mar 2021

Staff was friendly.

A bait and switch was pulled on me, and I was very upset. I put in my search that I was looking for a car to pick up at SEATAC. Without me realizing it, the site switched to the downtown Seattle location for pickup (which I didn't realize since I don't know the address on either location). I went to SEATAC to get the car and was told I had to go downtown to get it. I had to call my son to pick me up and take me to downtown Seattle to get the car. I had requested a compact car, and by the time I got to Seattle, they told me the only car available was a Toyota 4Runner. This was a big problem since I have a leg problem that caused me great pain getting into the 4Runner. The customer service guy told me I could change it out when a sedan came in, but two days later I was told that all they have is SUV's because of the winter weather. I was finally able to drive back down to Seattle on Tuesday and trade for a RAV4 since it had a much lower profile and was easier to get in and out of with my sore leg. The customer service guy was extremely nice and set it up so that I could turn the car in at SEATAC when the rental was over. So overall, I had to get my son to take me to the Seattle location, and then I had to drive back down to get a smaller car since I was stuck with a huge 4Runner when I had requested a compact car. This was definitely not my best car rental experience!
