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.

Pros: The car was clean and had Bluetooth. Cons: The car was a downgrade from the one we chose. We had picked an electric vehicle and instead were given a gas guzzler. The car was quoted to give 35mpg but turned out to give around 16mpg instead. The counter agents took an inordinate amount of time to process us even though we had reservations both times. No efficiency at all. The cruise control system was broken and made the drive very frustrating.

They changed my drop off time without informing me and charged me for it. Then they also upgraded my car even though I specifically wanted the cheapest rental! The additional taxes are just crazy. I thought I was renting a car for $145 but the total bill ended up $290 even after declining coverage.

Really easy! However it would have been nice if the guy at the Austin car lot was more knowledgeable about how to hook up my cell phone to blue tooth. Dont forget to sign up at rentalradar.com for price drops. Every time rates went down, I made a modified my reservation. Saved over $225 in the course of 4 months by paying attention to rate drops.

Had the truck that I needed. I didn't like that when I called Enterprise directly, the rental rate quoted me was over $400 for 1 day!!! Ridiculous!!! I went through the travel app & for the exact same rental from the same location for $53.00. That seems like very poor business practices by Enterprise.

There needs to be clear upfront information on deposit amounts and the fact a credit cannot be taken over the phone. Rented a car for my son online.

Bad experience. Kelly greeted me at the dollar counter. My booking was for Thrifty for an hour later. She said I have to come back in an hour. I told her I rent cars once a month for business purposes and I’ve never heard this one before. She said they have to honor other clients and I should step away and come back later. There was NOBODY else in line!! I stepped away and was on the phone for a while trying to book with another company. But then I went back to Kelly and told her I’ve never had to wait for the exact time and told her I just went to a different company (has a reservation from Fox who was horrible!) who didn’t have small cars and I was asked to pay for an upgrade so I’m already pretty frustrated with rental companies in San Antonio airport and I want to speak with a manager… she said she is the manager and she can’t believe the other company didn’t have a small car available. She said she will ask “her” (no idea who) “on the computer” if she could rent for me earlier. Since she said she was a manager, I don’t know who else she was asking… but she said ok after a few seconds, she can give me a small 2 door car, that’s too small and I should upgrade for a fee. I said no thanks and she insisted it’s a very small car with no Bluetooth and 2 doors. I said I was ok and she seemed upset. She asked about insurance and I said I had my own. She kept going on about how I should purchase insurance from her while I was clear I didn’t want it. Waste of my time. She was pushy, a little rude with no respect for my time. Once done I went to pick up the car. Followed the signs to an empty booth with a sign to go back to a different company. I went back and finally found a lady who told me to go to a spot and pick any car. There were all sizes cars including small suvs, but none small with 2 doors! Got a great Kia- had many choices. Not sure why people like Kelly still have their jobs, probably bad pay and not many hurrying to work for Thrifty… Bad experience.
