Stood in line for 1.5 hours to pick up the car. Car was dirty and dented, and they made it a bit of a hassle to get the dents registered (glad I did, because it was the first thing they started writing up when I returned it).

When I made the rental online from Kayak, my receipt clearly stated that the total charges for the rental would be ~$600CAD and I had also purchased insurance through Allianz for an additional $75. When I went to pick up the rental I was charged an additional $506.00USD in other fees and more insurance (apparently the insurance that was rented through Kayak was not comprehensive as stated on the website.) I was informed that I would be reimbursed $200USD when the rental car was returned. To my dismay, when I returned the rental I was charged AGAIN an additonal $506USD plus another $100USD “cleaning fee”. Completely unsatisfied and I will be contacting my credit card company to dispute these repeat charges.

The pick up line was an hour long. We saw associates standing around and not looking to get the lines down. There wasn't a car walk around for damage at pick up. The windshield was cracked and we told the lady at the both who let us out. She said she would note it. She didn't and they tried to blame the windshield on me when I dropped off. Additionally, the price was changed on me from when I booked online. They almost doubled it. When I asked about it the attitude was take it or leave it. I will never rent with Thrifty/Dollar/Budget again.
