Pros: The car was very clean and in good condition. The Toyota Corolla we rented was new and got great gas mileage even going up the hills of California and Lake Tahoe. We used a self serve kiosk when picking up the car and it was much quicker than waiting for the counter. Tiff (Tiffany) was very helpful and had great customer service.
Cons: Picking the car up in Los Angeles took longer than I thought and was more confusing then I wanted for the start of my vacation. It was a little unclear which group of cars we could choose from but once we found it there was a good selection. The thrifty in Los Angeles just seemed understaffed. Everyone was helpful when available.

Cons: I called and stated I was arriving late due to flight delays and they would not try to work out any arrangement for me to get my rental. AT 1:00 am in the morning they wanted me to stay in the airport until 4:00 am. I cancelled reservation and rented from a different company. Farewell Thrifty.

LAX carental return is a mess
Pros: Very fast once I found the place. Pulled in, emptied the car, hopped on the shuttle. No wait to get on the shuttle.
Cons: Facility was horribly hard to find. No interaction whatsoever with the employees. Shuttle driver was not friendly.

Lacking full disclosure of pricing
Pros: The suburban I rented was new and unbelievably comfortable. Once you checked in the process of getting the car was extremely easy. All I did was get in a car and drove off.
Cons: The lines were unbelievably long. I waited 30 min, I don't understand what the appointed time was for since it took forever to see someone. I rented the car through priceline, and was asked just my name and I assume my rental info came up since the guy didn't ask anything more. Well except for any add ons I would like to add, like full coverage insurance and so forth. Pricing was never discussed and I assume it was what I had originally got the vehicle for. I swiped my credit card and signed for the rental agreement but the total pricing was never disclosed. He printed these ticket like papers stuffed them in the agreement and said you're set. I was running a little late since I had to wait about 45 minutes to finally get my car, I actually didn't really go over the documents. Imagine my surprise when I returned my rental and I had been charged $60 more per day for my rental. I had to wait again in line so an agent could adjust my payment, which actually was not a big deal, he did it pretty quickly without too much fuss. But the whole experience left me somewhat hesitant to rent a car again.

Cons: They didnt provide an hourly rate in the contract even though in the reservation it indicated an hourly rate. They gave us a car that seem like it was just returned, doesnt seem like it was even cleaned.

Unorganized and not accommodating
Pros: It’s a rental, not a whole lot to love as long as it doesn’t break down, smell like trash and keeps me on the road.
Cons: No in class vehicles available at time of rental, waited around 20 minutes in a parking lot with places to be and given a beat up pick up truck. Wasn’t a bad ride and did the trick overall though. Location less than desirable, stinky shuttle bus, had to stop at other rental lots and missed terminal. Customers are on their way to make flights, not cruise around and waste valuable time.
