Thrifty charged me two hours extra even though I returned the car on time because their attendant waited to check the car back in. When I contacted customer service, the original rep said I needed to provide proof of my return time. I had no proof bc the attendant didn’t give me paperwork, just took the key and said I was all set. I asked them to check their security cameras to see that I had returned the car EARLIER than my return time. The whole thing felt scammy. I won’t use this location again.

I did not get the vehicle type i booked. It was filthy. It did not have a full tank/battery s contract indicated. Turning signals burnt out. Terribly poor experience at pick up counter. Bad attitude from reps at pick up. Etc etc etc
