Pick up and drop off is simple, waiting time to get the car is too long.Reviewed 29 Sep 2026

Counter service was slow and awful. Advertised cars were not available. I was charged for insurance I didn't sign for. I was given EZ pass that I did not want. This was in total a very bad experience.Reviewed 25 Sep 2026

The airport policy is to have a credit card. Kayak did not know that. I wasted my money to pay someone to take me to get the rental to be told I could not rent it. It would have been nice to know all facts and information in advance.Reviewed 20 Sep 2026

Very quick and easy pick up and drop off, which is exactly what I needed for this trip. Courteous and pleasant agents. At no extra cost, the issuing agent gave us a slightly bigger car in the same class as the one I’d ordered when he saw all our luggage!Reviewed 18 Sep 2026

They didn't honor the Ford Transit I'd reserved and instead offered me a minivan. I arrived at the counter and they told me if I wanted the car I reserved, I'd need to pay an ADDITIONAL $105 per day for an "upgrade." I showed them the email that identified that I had booked a Transit. They didn't care. The manager was extremely rude and ran off when I asked them to honor the original reservation. This was extremely disruptive because I'd a trip planned that included 9 passengers. I did NOT reserve a minivan, but a 12-passenger van because of this reason. I think potentially Kayak messed up this reservation (putting the transit as a preference not a requirement). However, my email confirmation said Transit. Either way i didn't get the car, my reservation was canceled, and I was left scrambling. That DCA Thrify location was the absolute worst customer experience I had ever had.Reviewed 17 Sep 2026

It took them over an hour to check in 6 people with multiple desk agents. And I checked in online.Reviewed 5 Sep 2026
