I was flying to Newark. My flight said Newark. Kayak and Expedia via Kayak booked me a car in New York. Worse, I was not able to modify it. I believe this the be an issue with Expedia and Kayak, but still. Thrifty needs to do a better job monitoring the websites that allow booking Thrifty cars.Reviewed 13 Nov 2024

Reservation was confirmed. I took the Air Train to the car rental location. There was a hand written sign saying they were out of cars and no reservations were being honored. They should not accept reservations if they have no cars. It was like a scene from Seinfeld! They take the reservation but they don’t HOLD the reservation.Reviewed 7 Aug 2024

They did not give me my rental vehicle. They said because I didn’t make the reservation 24hrs in advance, that it wasn’t valid. Left me, my wife, and 1 year old child stranded in New York. Wouldn’t rent us a car seat so we could take a taxi or Lyft. Completely cold. Worst experience.Reviewed 6 Aug 2024

HORRIBLE. The car broke down. Thrifty roadside assistance came to tow it. They are still charging me daily for the car as if I did not return it, even though THEIR roadside service towed it. I have receipts.Reviewed 27 Jun 2024

Customer service representative was very helpful and assisted with what could have been a difficult transaction. No vehicles were available at first even though we had a reservation, but she made sure we were taken care of quickly.Reviewed 17 Apr 2024

The day that I arrived there was a shortage of cars at Thrifty, which caused a significant delay for everyone getting their rentals. This was due to an earlier weeks earthquake in New York. Although this was dissapointing as I could not leave for my destination until I received my car, but I have to applaud Thrify employees for keeping good attitude and taking the time to explain to everyone why there is a delay, and that they are doing everything they can to get us out of there. I appreciated the feeling informed attitude. And everyone in line was super kind and positiveReviewed 15 Apr 2024
