Terrible just horrible. Pickup and the laziness and rudeness from thrifty employees Got a car from garage felt like a dungeon. Guy didn’t even show me my car just told me to grab 1 of 2 black cars. I even asked her inspect it with me and he said he don’t do that. So I did best I could do to look at car in the poor lit area with no lights so I took off 4 hours later after coming back outside I notice a dent and body damage underneath passenger door on right side you wouldn’t be able to see in that garage. Thrifty customer service sucks to call and tell them this I eventually told the ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE with thrifty and made a case number with them regarding this Son of telling her what happened and everything that I drove a car literally from the garage to a place 30 miles away, walked that side and saw this damage I brought the car back the next day and told him about this and he said I had to do a report through Hertz so I told Hertz then they said there was a damaged before and I should’ve inspected it better This wasn’t my fault. I didn’t cause this damage. It was some employee inside the garage either when they drop the car off or took it somebody in there did it. Somebody needs to look at the video inside the garage of this car especially then look at the video before I left and see when I pulled out there’s gonna be damage on that car The employees there are lazy and incompetent and just sorry people at the Washington DC thrifty place. Somebody needs to tell management and corporate about thrifty through Hertz and how lazy and sorry their employees are Somebody inside that area with thrifty or somebody that took that car before I got it and place that car somebody calls that damage to that car and it was not me. I will never ever go through kayak again or third-party to get another vehicle. I’d rather go to enterprise or some other company y’all start party also help me as an electrical car. I didn’t want an electrical car. I wanted a gas car. I’ll never go through y’all’s company ever again. This was the worst experience that I’ve ever had.

Everything was amazing until the end. I dropped off the car. The lady told me to put my keys on the counter. So I did and I left. Between Sunday morning and Wednesday they wrote me and told me I am going to be charged for a kicked in door and the rear being spraypainted. That damage was not there Sunday morning. When you call them to contest they say that you have to wait a week to contest

Service was great. Car was dealers choice and was a Jeep Wrangler. Jeep was loud, “rattly” and not smooth, all as expected for a Wrangler

When we booked, it wasn’t clear that it was not AT the airport ad no one at the airport knew where it was, so we tried a treacherous walk to where the GPS said it was until we finally saw that they provided a shuttle. The staff was very efficient & once we picked up the vehicle things went smoothly.

The Thrifty staff at pickup were super rude, ignored us at the desk, and were very rude when asking for a deposit card and extra $200 payments tot take the rental we already paid for. They were not at all kind or helpful in explaining the process and were annoyed that we were even there. They were not all al helpful when our rental blew a flat tire and wanted to charge us $700 to toe us back to the airport. The tow would not take us to our air B&B to get our belongings which is 2 hours from the airport. They would only tow us back to the airport to miss the entire friends wedding so we can exchange the car and drive all the way back to our rental house to pick up our belongings. The car did not have a spare tire or my roadside items. 0/10 would not rent with Thrifty again.

This is the third time that I have paid for a car that the rental car company classifies as an intermediate, only to be given a compact or sub-compact SUV. this time it was a Kia Soul that according to the thrifty website is a compact car, not a intermediate, but you already know that. Your counter agents are well versed in attempting to upsell the client on insurance and toll road transponders. Under NYS law neither are required and I had my own transponder with me so I accepted neither. NYS and I are fully aware of these upsell techniques.
