Pros:The staff was fine. The return process was quick and painless.Cons:BEWARE!!! When you rent your car online you get a total cost of the car for the whole trip. THEN you get to the counter - in a FOREIGN country and all of a sudden that price you got when you reserved your car is NOT even close to the price you pay for the car to rent AND they hold 3 times the amount of the rental on your credit card - so you do not have access to those funds until you return the car and they hard post the amount due. There was no supervisor to speak with and no other cars that suited our needs available in another kiosk at the airport. We were traveling with a dog in a crate long with 4 suitcases. Size of car was of utmost importance - hence my feeling of "getting ripped off" by Thrifty/Hertz Rent a car. Do your research...if renting from them...make sure the bottom line you are told you will pay - is the bottom line with no "hidden" charges lurking in the background. I will be contacting corporate headquarters. I'm sure I'll get nowhere, but if this review helps just one person...Reviewed 10 Oct. 2019

Bait and SwitchPros:Car was clean and accommodated our overall trip needs.Cons:Price jumped from $172 quoted to over $400+ upon final charge. The only difference was that I added basic insurance upon arrival and was not aware of the usuray amount it resulted in. Buyer beware as after 12 hours of traveling and being tired, I failed to get clarification prior to accepting the vehicle.Reviewed 18 Dec. 2018

No way I will ever use this brand again.Cons:Booked online at what appeared to be a fair price. The offer included the insurance too. When at the Hertz - Thrifty desk I was told from the Hertz employee that the purchased insurance did not count and that we had to purchase a new one. Price increased 116%. When calling the online service of Thrifty to complain, I was talled and I quote “Listen you can do what you. Take it or leave it”. That is why “stay away”.Reviewed 21 Jun. 2018

Pros:The car itself was clean and comfortable.Cons:unfortunately it wasn’t the right car. I received the wrong car twice and had to exchange in different locations along my journey, and still ended up with a car larger and more expensive than I had reserved.Reviewed 22 May 2019

Pros:Drop off was very easy.Cons:When we arrived they had overbooked and didnt have our reserved vehicle available. We ended up having to take a large van as it was the only thing available. We also were forced to pay a large amount for insurance, which we would have avoided if the proper information was available when we bookedReviewed 22 Jun. 2019
