Pros: Great car, great price, very quick pick up and drop off.
Cons: They tried adding on tolls for $12/day or threatened to charge $17 per toll incurred. Also, asked about insurance in a way that would slip additional charges to the rental. Something to the effect of, "Will you be using our insurance or providing your own?" I shouldn't have to add vehicle protection even if I don't have my own insured cars or fancy credit card. I guess that's what you get for such a cheap rental price, they have to try to make money with add-ons.

Cons: I feel like I shouldn’t of been charge for the passenger back window been busted. I wish they had told me when I got there that people cars always gets broken into and if that happened and if you had your insurance you are liable for the repairs but if you take their insurance they cover it. I feel that was Unfair to me because I never been to Houston. Also the police stated they should of told me that car had been broken into before.

Pros: Vehicle was gas efficient and fit all of our luggage easily.
Cons: Tons of upcharges and hidden fees once we got to our destination. What we thought was going to be a $70ish rental ended up being $150+ before gas costs.

Pros: For some reason, I was charged $14.86 for fuel service, even though the gas tank was full, I fueled the car half a mile before returning it and the needle was way to the right of the Full mark. I was in a hurry to get to my flight, and reviewed my bill much later when it was to late to complain. Basically, I feel I was cheated. Of course, I saved the fuel receipt, I am ready to provide them a copy.
Cons: Make sure you check your final receipt!!

Cons: I paid almost $400 dollars for a little more than 2 days for a regular car. Then I get a surcharge of $75 dollars for a $5 dollar toll ticket. I don’t think I will be using Thrifty again, I’ll stick to Uber next time. Did I mention that they wouldn’t let me use the insurance that I paid via Kayak?

Pros: Drop off was easy.
Cons: Pickup took a while as they only had one shuttle. After waiting at airport for 20 minutes for shuttle, 20 people were also waiting so took a while to get through the line once we arrived.
