Pros:

When I went to pick up my reserved rental it wasn't there cause others were late returning theirs... so they did everything they could as quickly as possible to get me a vehicle of the size I needed... and very friendly staff!!!!!

Cons:

The 800 number I had said that I couldn't drop off the vehicle a day early cause it was closed. So the next day when I went to drop it off the person there said I could have and showed me the drop box... because of this I had no one to take me back home that day which was an hour drive away and had to start walking in the rain back home... thankfully a nice person gave me a ride even though I was soaking wet from walking

Pick-up and drop-off were very quick. Typically I don't like how much time and paperwork there is at pick-up, but it was very quick this time.

Cons:

Did not give me the option on what car I would get, I would have liked to pick which one from what they had available.

Car was dirty, dusty and smelled like old rental car smell. Maybe it’s been in rotation too long. 37K miles. Sounded like an old taxi cab in NYC when I hit a bump or I applied the breaks. Will definitely stick to Sixt or Hertz. Much more reliable car quality and experience. Saving a few bucks wasn’t worth it in this case.

I reserved one type of car and somehow in my reservation it was changed to a compact car. It was actually fine but I had purchased separate trip insurance for the kind of car I requested. That made me unsure of whether the insurance would cover the other car type. Fortunately I didn’t need to find out! The man who checked my car in was very funny and nice. Wish I had gotten his name - he found my phone which I left in the car and tracked me down!!!

Pros:

They gave me a Chevy Traverse. It was in good condition and clean.

Cons:

Picking up the car took way to long! It took the guy at least 20 minutes to do the paperwork. He kept calling someone on a radio to see what was available. Then he told me that they were just finishing cleaning it and it would be brought up to the door. I kept going outside and checking. There were a number of cars setting in the lot that would have been fine for me to use. After about 25 minutes, I went back to the desk to find out where the car was. He called someone the radio and told them to bring the car up to the door. After about 15 more minutes, they finally brought the car over.

I rented through a third party, which was not clearly marked. Rentalcars.com. Our flight was cancelled due to torrential rains in New York City. We had to cancel our trip.

Pros:

The drop off went fine. When I told the agent that we turned the car into about our horrible experience picking up the car, he deducted $10 off of the remaining fees.

Cons:

The pick up was the worst we have ever experienced. From the time that we arrived at the Thrifty counter until we were given the car, it was almost an hour. While we did receive a free upgrade, the wait was totally unacceptable. They gave us a coupon for 15% off of our NEXT Thrifty rental which probably should have just applied to the current rental.

The total cost was to be $177. Had me sign in early but did not have car available online so I did not pick up car till Thursday 7:42 as one was NOT available at the promised noon. The return was supposed to be returned to Hertz. At this point I have been charged: $263 8/22; $350 on 8/22 and $422.98 on 8/25. Can you PLEASE reverse these charges to the agreed amount $177?
