Way over priced. SUV did not have any options to justify cost. No backup camera, no Navigation system, no Bluetooth, canvas seats. Basic model, yet charged like it was loaded. Avoid Budget/Alamo at Houston Airport location.

We had to wait a while during pickup as there weren’t many cars available at the time. Then an employee gave us a bigger since we were waiting for a long time for the size we had reserved (holiday weekend). But then a manager didn’t want to do after we had already put all our luggage into the car. So they made us take all our stuff out of the car and wait longer. Eventually we got the car and everything went well. We were compensated for the inconvenience and long waiting so overall experience was good.

Car was not available at pickup. Only option offered was a different model (minivan vs full suv) at a different location. No compensation offered. Returned the car earlier and was denied refund of early time. Charged a bogus cleaning fee when no extra cleaning was performed. Repeatedly lied to by store manager.

Reserved a Manager Special at $135/day and upon arrival was given something they are renting for $33/day EV. Had the hardest time to find a place to charge and called customer service to return and swap for a gas car. The manager on duty wanted to charge me an upgrade for the days I had already used plus the one I haven’t used yet. When I asked what exactly was Special about the car I got for a $100 extra/day, he had the audacity to tell me that it’s their discretion to give me anything on the lot as a SPECIAL. Be careful when paying a whole lot extra for their SPECIAL, you will get the cheapest car on the lot. The EV was eventually swapped for a gas car with 60k on the odometer and a check engine light on the dash. Luckily I made it to my destination!

The pickup at Houston Bush was terrible. Took over an hour to get me car. When I arrived there were about a dozen people ahead of me in line, with two clerks at the counter. After about ten minutes, both clerks finally finished with their customers, at which point one clerk shut down her station & left for the night, promptly at 7:00pm, leaving the remaining clerk to work through the long line of customers. When I finally got my car, the poor guy still was solo and there were at least another dozen customers waiting behind me - probably would be another hour before they got THEIR cars. Terrible service!!! First time in a long time I’ve used Hertz, will probably not do so again. However, the car was nice, the return three days later smooth & painless.

Renting the car in Houston was great. Dropping it off in Park City was worse than usual. Plus I was charged $200 in extra fees on top of my prepaid rental.

Dollar did not have a vehicle for me upon my arrival, despite having a reservation for two weeks. They also had no alternatives and no recommendations, so we were basically stranded upon arrival over 800 miles away from home. Thankfully, Enterprise was able to accommodate us.

It would have been important to have the local team inform about how complicated it is to find charging stations in Texas. And once you find them, that being foreign makes them complicated or impossible to use (some asks for local phone number, others ask to download apps that aren’t available in foreign App Store accounts).

Bait and switch again. I rented a Nissan Pathfinder online and they tried to give me a Chevrolet Equinox. I'm tired of the car rental industry constantly getting away with advertising one product and providing an inferior, especially at the whim of the guys working in the parking lot. One group ahead of us boked a compact car and drove away with a mustang. Another booked an intermediate car and ended up with the Infinity. After 45 minutes of demanding to be treated fairly, speaking with two "Managers" and going to their sister car rental counter, they finally found a Honda Pilot which actually is a somewhat "similar" vehicle to what I booked.

Long lines at pickup, very few staff working. We were turned back right before exiting the airport and we’re told to get a booster seat for my daughter who is 7 and does not use a booster seat normally at home.

Beware of additional fees. I booked and payed right away for the rental but was charged an additional $275.00 USD for taxes and a few other fees. That was a significant amount, I would have looked at other options closer if I knew about this. Thrifty was also aggressively pushing additional things on us such as insurance (covered by credit card), toll passes, vehicle upgrades etc. I declined all but the guy still put on a toll pass at $15.00/day. I noticed this reading the receipt while walking to get the vehicle. You can avoid tolls through the nav system. I had it removed but it was a pain to do it. I hit one toll in 2 weeks and it cost me $5.00. We also reserved a 7 seat vehicle but they tried to give us a 5 seat one. There wasn’t an argument about this but it was annoying to have to deal with it. At the end of it all it just felt shady how business was done with Thrifty.

New car was not clean when received. Staff was unfriendly. Car battery died twice and they cared little for our inconvenience. In total had to wait 5 hours for roadside assistance. Little communication beyond making sure they read me every disclaimer that I was responsible for the vehicle and may be charged for roadside assistance.. As of right now, no one has reached out and they still have not reimbursed me for the day without a car. Total disaster.
