great!Reviewed 6 Jun 2025

My experience was absolutely horrible. I showed up at Thrifty to pick up my rental car that I had already paid for in full. They advised me that they were out of rental cars for the night and to try someplace else. I told them I already paid for it and they told me "too bad". I was left scrambling and had to use Budget renal service and pay almost 4x the price on top of what I already paid. I've been trying to get ahold of someone to help but they keep pointing me in different directions.Reviewed 17 Feb 2025

Terrible , worse experience ever , when we arrived at Thrifty no car was available despite we reserved many days prior , and they gave no assistance. We had to Uber to our destination. We will NEVER use them again and also recommend to our friends and family never to use them.Reviewed 30 Dec 2024

They had a 1.5 hour line and were out of the car type we reserved. They advised us to come back the next day and even then they didn’t have the car we reserved. So we ended up having to make a new reservation with a different company.Reviewed 10 Sep 2024

1 person at the dollar/thrifty counter for 20 people in line. After travelling all day and then having to tale an airport shuttle.to a.counter who's line is out the door with only one person working is highly disappointing. The wait to move was awful. I have pictures and a video to share of this absolutely pathetic situationReviewed 7 Dec 2023
