They did not have a regular gas car like we had reserved, our only option was an EV. We were travelling to rural VA so finding a charger added significant stress to our vacation. The staff were polite, but not helpful and did not seem to care about our frustrations. Their suggestion was to try other rental companies (who were already fully booked).

Hertz ran out of cars, and the customer service was very slow. They did give me an electric vehicle, all they had left, and something that I didn't order/didn't know how to drive. I would be hesitant to book at this Hertz again because apparently they didn't have enough cars for all reservations.

Mediocre|Jun 2023

The staff was friendly and accommodated us when we wanted to change the type of car we had reserved. However, the location was terrible and no one answered the phone when I was trying to get directions. Google maps also had the incorrect location so we were walking around an unsafe neighborhood trying to find the car rental. The car we rented smelled like smoke, so we had to leave the windows open. At minimum, there should be more detailed information on the location of the car rental. There were multiple people who had the same problem.

Dollar rented vehicles while not having inventory. One hour wait to get to the counter only to be told we’d have to wait 30 minutes to 2 hours for a vehicle because they didn’t have any left on site. After 2.5 hours, we finally received a vehicle.

Stood in line for over an hour. While waiting, downloaded "Dollar" app to find out app is a scam and Dollar doesn't have an app (neither does Thrifty) Cars not available. Had to get luxury XC90 Volvo for upcharge. AC either full blast and very loud (setting 2-5) or too low and not enough.

The car was not cleaned well - there were footprints on the inside of the windshield and trail mix scattered around the backseat. Good thing I’m not allergic to nuts! Worse than that was the pickup experience. After standing in line for 55 minutes to reach the checkin counter, it was another 40 minutes before they called me to get the car (I guess I should be thankful it was faster than the 90 minutes they told me I would have to wait!). Yes, I picked up on a Friday afternoon in the summer, but the curt desk agent told me they have this backlog every day…. Which means something is wrong with their system!

I waited in line for an hour when I had a reservation. The car I paid for wasn't available, so I had to pay EXTRA to get a car, or wait another 1.5 hours.

Reserved a car at a specific location online to get there and be told they don’t have any cars and to wait. Another person walks in and they say they have no cars and won’t be getting any.

This experience was a nightmare. I arrived at my designated time for the rental pick up to be greeted by an hour-long line to speak with a counter agent. At the counter, the agent informed that there was a shortage of cars and that I would have to wait an additional 1.5-2 hours. The agent further said that my reserved SUV would not be available and that Thrifty would provide an electric car instead. When I asked the agent whether Thrifty planned to compensate me for the delay inconvenience and for the unavailability of my car, they told me it was not their fault but rather that of renters who returned their cars late. That response is unacceptable. In my desperation to leave Washington D.C. ( I was due in NYC that evening), however, I opted for the electric car. This was a terrible mistake. I will spare readers the inconvenience of driving an electric car for long distances. Suffice to say, while on the highway returning from a New England trip, the car’s battery suddenly dissipated. The next thing I knew, I was on the side of the road with a dead battery. It was around 6:30pm and quickly getting dark, so I called Thrifty roadside assistance. Thrifty had me on hold for nearly 20 minutes and my cell phone’s battery died. Eventually, the state police arrived, and I was instructed to use a contracted tow service. Two hundred and fifty dollars and a missed flight later (not to mention 4 hours of delay), I was finally back on the road. Because I missed my flight in Boston, I had to drive down to New York to catch the next flight. I am at a loss for words. This experience has soured me to Thrifty and to electric cars in general. I hope someone will think twice before using either for a rental experience if customer service does not improve.

Calvin at the rental desk was the rudest person I have ever experienced in any customer relation position. We arrived at 0655, and as we proceeded to enter the lined off area to the counter. We were rudely yelled at by Calvin, who told us he was closed and asked in a very rude manner, why we would enter. He continued to speak belittling to us, and would not let us answer that there was no sign telling us to not enter and we apologized. He continually shamed my husband and I. As we stood there, he continued to work on the computer after 7am, which was the time it was to open. He belittled and shamed another woman who did the exact same thing as my husband and I did, entering the area. At 7:10, he still did not open the line area and walked off. We and 3 other customers stood there. Finally he arrived back at 07:17 and opened the line. he got back on his computer, took his time, putting on his rubber gloves. At 07:20, he finally took his first customer, rudely telling her to stand in front of her and not be near the counter. I have photos documenting his time of behaviour. He should immediatley be taken off the front desk and examined and counseled. He obviously has anger management issues and should be replaced. A terrrible experience to start our day.

Thrifty was renting cars without having them available. Despite having a car reserved, they were forcing people to wait in excess of 2 hours with no seating available in the building. This practice should not even be legal and I would discourage anyone from reserving a car as they do not honor that reservation. Furthermore, despite having all of my information after making the reservation, the staff asks all of the same questions.
