seemed very expensive. My "upgrade" to a better car should have been complementary, or at least would have been at national or avis. I also was talked into using the full tank of gas, and hopefully I don't get charges for that.

The car was beautiful and we enjoyed it. I had never driven a hybrid before so it would have been nice if someone expected that most people haven’t. I felt pretty dumb having to come to the booth and ask someone how it worked. I also found out at the last minute that this agency did not want me to take the car outside of a specific area geographically. Perhaps that was in the information, but I certainly didn’t see it until we went to check out the car. Potentially a big problem and to find out on the day we picked it up was unhelpful.

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! It was an expense I wasn’t prepared for to say the least. And the people at the enterprise counter were very rude and not helpful at all. I’ll never go through enterprise ever again.

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.

Staff was nice.

The cars weren’t spotless, but that wasn’t a problem for me. We did get have to exchange cars due to a tire issue. We called ahead and discussed it with E-Z Rent-a-Car. They said they made a note on our profile and there would be no problem coming back and exchanging the car. When we got there, they didn’t seem to know what we were talking about and we spend a little longer than necessary due to some confusion about the exchange. Worked out in the end.

Easy drop off

Car smelled terribly of smoke, super long wait at pickup while the only staff st the desk was chatting with the only customer in front of me, stating “I’m taking my time to see if a car comes in for you”. I had already reserved and paid online, to “save time” the website said.

Pick up took an unnecessarily long time. There were three employees working the desk and nobody was moving quickly to get through the long line of customers. One was joking around with another customer and then took about 5 minutes in a back room looking for a pen. Once we finally completed paperwork, there was no vehicle in the parking spot we were assigned. I went to a kiosk labeled “customer service” and after waiting in line was told that I should have gone to another stand as this particular one was for drop offs. There was no mention of this on any signage. I insisted that they help me as I had been waiting for some time in line already and he reluctantly agreed to help. He said he was supposed to be on a lunch break but nobody was coming to relieve him. We were assigned a new car and it was in the spot we were instructed to go to. The car had clearly not been cleaned after the prior customer. There was food spilled in the front cup holders, wrappers stashed throughout the car and we found some of the previous customers belongings in the console. The car itself was good, worked great and was the type of vehicle I had reserved. The pick up experience was terrible and I don’t intend to rent from this particular budget branch in the future.

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.

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.

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.
