Book Thrifty car rentals in Portland

Cons: The first car we got was burning oil and smoking from the engine area. So we had to drive all the way back to change it for another car. Plus the price was much more expensive than the estimate.

Cons: No complaints!

Cons: Car was dirty; full of animal hair. I was late one day and I was penalized for the entire rental period. Highway robbery!

Cons: I don't envision car rental companies staying in business much longer given the rates they charge, the cost of insurance that they encourage you to purchase, and the risk and headache a customer takes on driving a car that's not theirs. The person at the car drop off spent a long time examining a minuscule windshield chip that was already there when I picked up the vehicle! I didn't think to mention it to the Seattle Thrifty team because it was so minuscule. I will probably never rent a car ever again from Thrifty given how easily they'll blame the customer for things as minor as minuscule windshield chips. It was easily MUCH cheaper to just take Lyft around Portland, including to the far flung hiking spots, than to rent a car. NEVER AGAIN.

Cons: So they didn't do a walk around with me at pickup. When I got the car home I noticed marks on the top of the trunk and the bumper. At dropoff they noted that and are trying to charge it to me. I wrote my statement but refused to sign their form which would have said I was admitting I caused damage. We will see what happens. Not impressed at all.

Cons: no back up dash - had one on same car on retntal week before. did charge me for bringing car back a few hours late but that was due to flight delay.

Cons: The Versa gets good mileage but it lacks as a road car. Too noisy lacking in technology but that's what you get in a cheap car.

Cons: The shuttle bus and waiting over 20 minutes to be picked up

Cons: Don't like that they have you choose between two types of insurance, but they don't let you know you don't need either.

Cons: Nope.

Cons: I had a flat tire the first day, there was no tire or jack in the truck. Thifty was unwilling to assist due to me not getting their insurance. There should have been a compromise due to the situation they put me in, but I only got "sorry ma'am" I was left to fin for myself in a place I had never been. I will never rent from this company again.

Cons: Initial car given (Nissan Versa) was outdated/old, had to request a different model When turned in, incorrectly charged me $300+ more than supposed to; missed my initial shuttle while fixing the problem at the counter Shuttle back to airport made everyone wait at the curb while driver took only one "club" member across the parking lot directly to their car (parking lot is NOT large, and easily walkable)... Two shuttles in a row did this... Wildly inefficient program

Cons: When I checked in, the agent was a little weird about showing my receipt for gas and couldn't explain why I needed to. Just a strange experience.

Cons: I can't figure out the billing. You charged me $349.38 on May 29, but that charge has since disappeared from my credit card. The receipt I was given when I turned the car in on June 3 shows $291.15, but that charge has not yet appeared on my credit card. I should have thought that it would all be settled on June 3.

Cons: It was not clear where I was to go when I arrived at the airport as the business is not on sight and there was no shuttle there waiting.

Cons: Off site...

Cons: No sirus xm No heated seats No elec seats No leather No maps XL base model.

Cons: they billed me wrong.

Cons: I did not like being left to wait airport at 2:30a.m. with my teenage daughter. 4 calls were necessary to actually connect with someone in the local office at the airport (including an air port representative seeking to assist). Once connected with the representative I was to meet, we were treated as if it was our fortune to use their services. Well, I was not spending a cent with such poor service and/or concern. Avis was open and ready to save the early morning. Half way through the information session, the Thrifty shuttle arrived. It was now 3:15a.m. At 3:22a.m., we drove away in an Avis rental. A very long night! We put our heads to rest at 4a.m. I paid more without any qualms for efficient and professional service from Avis.

Cons: Wouldn't help me to my vehicle, I had two carry- ons a duffle bag a four month old and a carseat in a carseat bag. So I could either leave my son or leave my stuff to go get the car.

Cons: Dropoff is not with the rest of the rental cars. Didn't discover that until I was already driving the the rental car lot. If I didn't arrive extra early, the extra 20-30 min could have really messed things up.

Cons: No shuttles to pick us up from the PDX airport at midnight. Literally after an hour, no show. When we got there, the guy was just chilling at the station. There was so many added costs on top of the payment we had already made.

Cons: They charged me a $20 fee when I filled the tank up with gas returned it on full.

Cons: Car Rental said $18/day.. rented for 6 days n paid $501.. -____-

Cons: Wait time too long and employees standing around

Cons: Pickup was very remote and took a long time.

Cons: I first discovered that I had rented a compact, only when I got to the counter. The website hadn't indicated that. The trunk wasn't even large enough to hold the 2 suitcases. I had to put them on the back seat. It did, however, make it easier to park on the street, once I got to Seattle.

Cons: Thrifty refused to rent a car to me because I did not have a secondary credit card. This policy is new and has been i place since January 2017.

Cons: Car smelled like fish. When we asked for a smaller car, the rep said that the one they gave us was the only one available.

Cons: that they told me the windshield had a crack on it as well as 4 more cars that pulls up on the lot, in addition to 20 more in their parking lot! Also the car had stains and spots on it inside and a walkthrough was never offered up front.

Cons: I specifically reserved a "specialty" vehicle because the vehicle depicted in the image was one with 4WD. When I arrived at Thrifty they informed me that "specialty" actually means "wild card" which is essentially whatever they have extra of, in this case was a tiny compact car. Had I known I was getting a compact car I would have taken the lower rate and reserved one in advance. This exchange felt extremely deceptive. Additionally, this change in vehicle was not only inconvenient but also dangerous and I was traveling to mountainous areas expecting heavy rain and snow.

Cons: Being upsold and having to argue for what we had already reserved on line.

Cons: Charged for early return and days I didnt use. They said oh we cant adjust because the rate you got was super low. So, they charged me for two days I didnt use.

Cons: No cruise control

Cons: The car I was given smelled like a rolling ashtray. I called every day I had it trying to get in touch with someone. After sending in an email complaint and receiving no response, I eventually called the national customer service line, to which they told me I had to contact the specific rental location and speak with the manager. After putting in two calls to the manager and not receiving a call back, I finally got ahold of her on my third call to the location. Not only was I told I should have called earlier (even though I had), I was also told she could not issue a refund for the vehicle and offered me $100 discount and a voucher. I never received the voucher when I dropped off my vehicle as the person working had no idea what I was talking about. Needless to say, I will never rent with Thrifty again.

Cons: The car malfunctioned and coordinating with Thrifty to get it replaced was a pain in the butt. I had to miss part of a wedding because of a miscommunication on Thrifty's end.
