The car we reserved was not available when we arrived. The only vehicle that could accommodate our passengers and luggage was a truck. The agent charged us the full price for the truck which was considerably more expensive. He said that there was fine print on the webpage explaining that this may happen and we were responsible for the difference in price. Also, the agent didn’t show up for work on the day we returned the car so it took over an hour to find someone who could help us.

They had a policy that indicated that they would run my credit score and I was ask to sign it. I scratch the line out as well as another line indicating that I promise to return the tank full. If the guy at the desk indicate something else then have it in the policy, it is confusing. Also the representative at the desk didn't do a good job of explaining to me what will be charge to my card. I discovered that it was almost $500 when he first indicated $285. I don't think I would ever go with Thrifty or any associates of theirs again.

The vehicle that I had reserved and paid for which was more expensive was not available when I arrived. Then I was given a much smaller vehicle and told to exchange the vehicle for the right one at a different location. I went to the other location and they also didn’t have any wasting my entire day waiting and waiting. This was the must awful, unprofessional and unorganized experience I ever had with any rental company ever. They had no empathy, nor compensated me for literally my entire day wasted while I was on vacation. Panama Thrifty by NO Means operates in the same standards as other countries.
