I was very pleased with the unexpected SIGNIFICANT upgrade -- I originally had booked a convertible, expecting just a Mustang convertible, so you can only imagine how happy I was when I arrived at the counter and was upgraded to a relatively brand new BMW Z4 at the same rate! Even better, with the original reservation, I would have had to return the car the next day by 7:30PM to the Orlando Airport and be charged two days' rate (my pick up was at 5PM Saturday, needing to return by 7:30PM Sunday and otherwise see a MASSIVE rate hike from ~$150 to ~$600). However, because of the change in vehicles, I could return it on Monday by 5PM for the original rate of ~$150 at the hotel I was staying in, saving me a LOT of hassle. I imagine Sixt may have lost some money with my reservation, but a great experience from start to finish.for me!

We had to wait for two hours in line to get our vehicle. That was absurd! We were exhausted since this was at from 10:30pm-12:30am! The agent was very efficient once it was our turn. Once we received our vehicle, everything was excellent...the van, the drop off.
nothing was explained to me , i waited an hour to get my car we did not walk around the car i had no clue how to work this car , there were strachs on the car , and they didnt tell me the drop off was worse , you just drop off the car and there is no one to help us , you just leave the keys in the car so in personal

not great. We rented an electric small SUV that they gave to us not charged. They were unable to help us when we realized after driving 10 miles that the car battery was going to die. We went to the only gas stations with chargers and we happened to be at the only WaWa in the area that didn't have a charger. So we drove back to the airport with the charge so low it just said "Low" and didn't give mileage anymore, then had to pay the difference for a new car. The worst part was we were there to see family in the hospital and had a limited amount of time and missed visiting hours that day because we were dealing with the hertz mess. After my sister complained to the counter person she offered no apology and gave me some certificate for 40$ toward my next rental car with Hertz. Not gonna happen.

The key pick was a little confusing. The parking garage office said platinum members go inside, when I asked a Hertz employee where I get my keys she told me I had to go inside. After waiting 15 minutes, I was told the keys were in the vehicle.
Was overcharged by over $100+ at unmanned drop off in Punta Gorda though I returned the vehicle early. Had to call Budget Customer Service twice in order to get it resolved.

I have really bad allergies, so I couldn't fully appreciate the condition of the car at pickup. Once my allergies cleared a bit, I realized that the car had a really bad odor to it. Smelled like someone had tried (and failed) to cover up cigarette (or similar) smell. When I picked up my travel companion, he arrived at the exact same conclusion before I even said anything. Second problem. The lady convinced me to spring for the toll package because the route I would be taking had tons of tolls. It actually had none. She lied to me and ripped me off. She must get a commission for the number of upgrades they sell at the counter, as she also aggressively tried to sell me their insurance, which is insanely expensive.

I confirmed it would be around 88$ and budget has ended up charging me double the price for $165. And they never sent me confirmation that I dropped off the car
The price was a great deal however, the car was not cleaned out. There were two cups of food still in the arm rest in addition to chocolate being on numerous areas of the car. It was a quick turn around in receiving the vehicle so the food in the armrest was a surprising miss.

I will never do business with your comnpany again.
Kayak confirmation number didn’t match Alamo confirmation number, never got an email from Alamo confirming the reservation. Had to call their customer support to get that information, and had to re-enter my email address to get a confirmation via email. At Alamo, I chose the Skip the Counter option and expected to be able to pick up my rental by going straight to the car and to the exit booth. I was told by the kiosk personnel that we were good to do this, and once at the exit booth was told we needed a number that the counter or kiosk worker would provide. They proceeded to complete the pickup and rental agreement and ended up giving me a rental agreement for National Car Rentals for a person and car other than myself and the car I rented. Alamo contacted me via text and phone the following day asking if I picked up a car. I had to text them the VIN to complete the rental agreement. Overall, a big mess up on the part of Alamo.

Upon pickup at the enterprise counter, I originally did not have a reservation. I asked at the desk (at 130am) if they had availability and they did not. I then booked online and went back to the same counter to pick up my now available car. It was definitely frustrating that the counter was turning people away as sold out and I had to find my own vehicle online from the same provider. Drop off was very easy at Sarasota. Gage and Ernie were extremely helpful.

Awesome price! Car was a great value & great on gas!
Major issue is the Thrifty name is nowhere on the building. It was located inside a Hertz car rental. The address on the building was hard to read. Took over an hour to pick up my reservation. Drop off was just as bad. Seemed to be under staffed. Twice they tried to rent cars to people that needed repairs taking more time. During drop off they interrupted my transaction to send employee to pick up more cars. I tried to extend rental 1 more day and that day would have been over twice what my rental was per day.

The problem itself is not with the car rental company, but with the Kayak. I made the first reservation, however, with the wrong time, so the car rental company suggested that I make another reservation, which I did. I picked up a car and they charged me for 2. I'm waiting for a response to this.

Worst ever. No personnel at airport desk. Prepay customers ahead of me had been waiting 1.5 hrs with no sign of someone— a person took care of one client then disappeared. Had to book a car with a competitor on the spot and paid twice as much due to last minute booking. Thrifty never again.
