"Specialty" does not mean what you might think.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.Reviewed 22 Feb. 2017

Pros:Staff was okay, kind of stand-offish. The offsite is okayCons:The car was not in good shape even with low miles. A draft from the passenger window(kept trying to close but it was). The passenger door had something wrong. Upon closing it made a terrible noise. After a few days noticed that the passenger side window had this plastic piece all bent. I believe the car may have been in an accident but still rented it out. The transmission sounded like the car was going to blow up. The brakes squealed like needing to be replaced. I did not feel safe in the car but work 3-13's and was unable to bring back.Reviewed 22 Dec. 2019

Yaris = 5 ppl and 2 suitcases????Cons:I rented a "wild card" car: cheapest rate with minimum requirements of seating 5 ppl and 2 suitcases. Somehow Thrifty thinks a Yaris meets these requirements...yes, as long as the 3 in the back seat are children and your suitcase is no bigger than a carry-on. $40 more on the spot to upgrade on a rental that cost $130 total. I think it was $10 more to upgrade at the time of booking. Don't choose "Wild Card". Book the class of car you want from the start or Thrifty will throw in a shoe horn for free.Reviewed 31 Oct. 2017

Pros:The car was great, dropping it off was easy.Cons:Being upfront about insurance needs and extra costs. They sprang an $18/day supplemental fee on me at the counter that I wasn’t expecting.Reviewed 5 Feb. 2021

Pros:The pick up was not the most friendly experience, when you do not want to buy the insurance the guys sure makes you feel unwelcome as a customer, ......the return was very nice and friendlyCons:Maybe having more options of cars as I had reserved a large vehicle and since they had none available I was placed in a Corolla which it was a downgrade class vehicle.Reviewed 21 Feb. 2021

Pros:The shuttle to and from the airport was quick.Cons:I think the name says it all, you get what you pay for. Mediocre car, mediocre service, dingy location. I would pay the extra money next time to stick with a reputable brand and not feel like I’m in a Clark Griswald Family Vacation movie.Reviewed 3 Jan. 2021
