Book Thrifty car rentals in Minneapolis

Cons: No negatives

Cons: Online reservation advised car would be $470. When I picked it up, they said it would be $485. When I returned it before business hours as I originally reserved, they charged over $1200 to my credit card. When I called to dispute it they said I returned it to a different location which I did not. I returned it to exactly the same location 30 minutes prior to what my reservation indicated which is the airport that I flew in and out of. Will NEVER rent through Kayak or Thrifty again.

Cons: Cars were not ready for rental at Minnesota Airport. MANY customers waited over an hour for their reserved cars to be ready for use.

Cons: No one present at drop-off to checkout the car, sign off on its condition, offer a receipt, etc.

Cons: Location of Gas Station to fill up tank before return is a ways from the airport and very busy.

Cons: The car was not cleaned, the Windows were filthy. And I found a used food container under the seat

Cons: Car has 37k miles . Needs front brake pads and tranny is slipping

Cons: I specifically asked for a large car, but Thrifty picked up as a wild card - Mgrs pick, which I did not notice. The mgr gave me a compact car and wanted to charge more money for bigger size car. Not happy.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Nothing

Cons: They overcharged me

Cons: So my flight got delayed due to an airline issue and I was originally scheduled to land at 10 and their desk closes at 11. When I called the company to inform them of this issue they tried to more than double the agreed upon price after subtracting a day off my reservation. How do you double the cost when I'd have the vehicle a day less? Either way i told them to shove it and went with Sixt rentals and they were very professional

Cons: The cleanliness of the interior was terrible. Absolutely disgusting. The steering wheel was oily. The buttons were oily. And the air conditioner smelled like marijuana.

Cons: The single pickup desk agent was nice but a bit slow and then spent about 20 minutes with a couple ahead of us as they tried to sort something out. There should be a policy of asking such customers to please step aside for a while until their banking or other problem is sorted out so that the rest of us could be taken care of in a timely manner.

Cons: When we got to the parking lot there was only on compact car available and it was difficult to find at first.

Cons: I was so sure that I reserved a full size car online, but Thrifty told me at the counter that our car would be a small car, and doubled the price for a full size car. I might have missed something in the process of the online reservation thru Kayak, but I felt like Kayak somehow tricked me. Thrifty representative was cold and not helpful at all. We decided to rent a car from Enterprise, as I knew they don't charge additional fee for a second driver if he or she is your spouse (Thrifty charges $13 a day). Later we wound out that my husband's brother who also rented the exact same car (Nissan Altima) from Advantage thru Travelocity only paid a half price of what we paid. We won't use Kayak nor Thrifty in the future.

Cons: Car smelled like smoke and unappealing odors.

Cons: Wait at the airport (no one else in line) Offered a compact car, reserved SUV Price was higher than was quoted Slow service, rep complained about company whole time Delays when leaving garage, struggle with paperwork

Cons: Counter was closed when I arrived with no instructions on how to proceed. No one in garage. Found a Hertz agent to help me. Wasted an hour. Was charged more than stated on reservation.

Cons: The agent at the counter when picking up my car tried to up-sell me, purchase additional insurance, pre-pay for gas, etc. I then had to switch vehicles when the first car was not allowed to leave the lot because "there was a hold on the car." When I reached my hotel, I received an email from Thrifty showing a rate of $37.83/day that I had not agreed to; my reservation was for a guaranteed rate of $17.85/day. I then called Thrifty several times during my rental, but no one I spoke with was willing or able to resolve the discrepancy. Finally, when I returned the car, I asked to talk with a manager. The gentleman at the Thrifty counter at the airport finally took the initiative to restore the original rental rate I had been quoted and gave me an additional $15 discount as an apology for my inconvenience

Cons: When we went to pick up the car they tried to charge us 3 times that what the reservation rate was. After complaining, they agreed to lower the rate. That is just wrong!!!!!!

Cons: Finding our "choice" car. Better directions needed. Car price very reasonable.

Cons: The photo of my " specialty car" was an SUB, but my actual car was a super compact economy.

Cons: Not being able to figure out how to open the trunk . Had to get the manual out a few times to figure out how to move the seats. How to do headlights etc.

Cons: I selected the "special" rental which inferred that I would get a specialty car. The cost was slightly higher, but I was okay with that as I wanted a specialty car. When I arrived to the Thrifty counter, I was informed that this was poor advertising on Kayak's part, and that it was actually the "manager's special" ie the cars that were leftover, ie COMPACT CARS ONLY. So, unless I wanted to pay another $100 for a full size car, I had to take a compact car on the road trip in the snow. This was so frustrating! Also, MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE than going on right at that moment and creating a new booking! I will NOT be booking in this manner again. BUYER BEWARE!!!

Cons: We arrived at 11:15 PM on our flights from San Francisco to Minneapolis. I got to the rental counter by 11:25, and there wasn't anyone there. A sign told me to go outside, across the street and upstairs to pick up my car. There was nobody there, either. The Hertz person told me I had to go back to the counter. I did. Nobody there. Now it's after 11:30. So the hertz representative said he would give me a rental van at the same price. I said repeatedly it has to be a minivan. He gave me a much smaller Kia SUV. I couldn't take it (we had 5 people and lots of equipment). I very luckily snagged a van from Alamo 5 minutes before they closed and was able to fit everyone in (just barely). Service from Thrifty was non-existent and Hertz wasn't much better.

Cons: When I picked up my car they asked me what type of car I wanted. I told them I wanted the type that I reserved online. Even though I got the same type of care the price was 50% more than quoted online. When I returned the car they tried charging me another $50 because I returned it "late". I returned it earlier than I told them I would. After speaking with the agent at the desk they did take off the extra $50.

Cons: I booked this car because of the special on kayak and also because of the size that it would hold. It appeared to be a reasonable deal. When I went to pick up the car I was told by the thrifty agent that it was a very small car for "five small people and five small bags" It seems to me that the size of people and the size of bags should be a standardized unit to compare deals objectively. I was then up charged greatly for a car that would hold my luggage. My plan was to have it for 10 days. I returned it in two and was charged extra for ending the lease early, As I was moving from the UK to the US I felt held hostage by questionable business practice. I felt exhausted from long travel and cheated and that I had no options at the time. It would benefit you to know that I have since booked two other rental cars and I have not used thrifty or kayak.

Cons: The insurance for the car(which I thought I already bought) was more than double what I paid per day for the car. I was not happy about that.

Cons: -keys locked in car when picking up, had to be broken into -inside dirty -tire pressure light on whole time -charged more than it said when I booked it, by $100 And, there was only one person at the counter, who did a great job, but had a bunch of people in line.

Cons: When booking I booked the 'special' and it had a picture of a Nissan crossover. When checking in I was told I booked a sub-compact. So rather than drive a sardine can I did opt for a larger car. Then all these add on fees appeared. Insurance something, platinum road side assistance, etc. I'll be calling to get those reversed. Thrifty wasn't really thrifty at all.

Cons: The car smelled like cigarettes and I asked for another one and that car smelled like cigarettes too.

Cons: The car smelled heavily of smoke and the person at the counter was very high pressure, trying to upgrade me to a bigger car, despite my insistence that I didn't need one. They were also very high pressure in trying to sell me the extra insurance, which was a bit annoying.

Cons: Website wasn't clear on the terminal pick up. We flew into the other terminal however Thrifty staff was very nice and fixed it.

Cons: I reserved a small SUV because I was going to be traveling in upstate Minnesota in January. Imagine my surprised when I checked in to find that the vehicle wasn't 4-wheel drive ...and, that to get 4-wheel drive, I would have to pay to upgrade to a full-size SUV. I wasn't pleased!

Cons: It was freezing in MN and they sent us out with our luggage and said the keys were in the car but they were NOT we had to go back in and they were short staffed. Not the best experience getting the car...... no problems after that.

Cons: Had no choice. This was it. Wonder what would have happened if it wasn't there...downgraded or upgraded for a fee?

Cons: Flight delayed - needed my car overnight after delay. Thrifty was going to charge me over $300 to keep it overnight. They claimed they couldn't do any better. Ended up being a huge inconvenience to take it back before I was ready.

Cons: The gentleman at the counter told me my car choices, none of which were stated on the original buy in. They were the or equal... Since I would be driving my elderly parents around I was talked into "upgrading" for another $70.00. I went to the lot and it was still a small puddle jumper. Upgrade might mean upgrade to power windows. In the end with all the fees and taxes it was way more than stated. I want to know the out the door price please!
