Sales tactics were a little dodgy at pick-up. The reception staff tried to convince me to pay for an upgrade to a larger vehicle which I declined. It turned out that the company did not have the compact I had ordered and knew this, hence the hard-sell for a larger vehicle. I opted to stay with my more modest choice and was rewarded with a 'free upgrade'.

The petrol tank was not full to the top. The needle actually showed below full. As I did a 1,500 km journey, I filled up a number of times and was able to estimate about a 120km short fall on that partially full tank. I was not very pleased.
On arrival it would have been nice to be greeted. After paying the key gets handed to you and nothing else. No one explained the car to me or process of recording photos of the car. I just sat in a car I've never driven before confused. How do I start it,where's the hand brake etc as I'm not used to a button start. Very overwhelmed expediting out into chaotic traffic on the freeway. The car was good,drop off friendly but pick up was less than great customer service.

Cancellation policy is a sham. Documentation needed to hire the car is a sham. Customer service is non existent. Stay away.
There was no signage that thrifty was at the hertz. I was it the que for two hours and they didn't have the small car I hod booked, and upgraded me to a lg station wagon
Could not hire car without a PHYSICAL credit card for security deposit. You have my ID, my contact info, and im happy to pay a security deposit but because my wallet is in a different state you can't rent out a car so I can get home? It's 2022, what a joke
