We had to cancel our trip due to COVID and Sixth refused to refund our money or even a portion per their policy. They simply responded with "we know this isn't the answer you want however, we're not refunding any of your payment due to sound business practices". Customer service is a joke as it's basically non existent and forced to exchange emails. Terrible experience and I would never rent from this joke of a so called rental car company. Truly horrible. Do yourself a favor and avoid.

Traveler note - Important to know: Thrifty pickups are in the parking lot of the airport, they are not in the terminal itself. You can learn this by asking around (as we did) and it's not a long walk, but it would have been helpful if Thrifty let us know in advance simply from a comfort perspective. The woman who helped us with the rental pickup couldn't have been nicer. The car was good -- be uber-cautious about driving: the pot holes in St Lucia will do more than just rattle your teeth if you hit one straight on.

Pros:

Car was relatively clean and handled the winding mountain roads. Drop off was easy. Staff was friendly and accommodating.

Cons:

I reserved a full-sized SUV months in advance because we have a large group doing work at a local hospital with some equipment and gear. Reserved through ACE but the local company was called Drive-o-matic. When I arrived I was given a much smaller car and they were very annoyed when I asked to be given a car of the corresponding size and price I had already payed. Eventually she located a vehicle that would suit our group. Car not great quality compared to what I had last year when I used SIXT. Probably will not rent through ACE again.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Poor customer service, we reserved a Jeep Liberty or similar and the lady gave us a Jimny arguing that she didn't have anything else and the only thing that she could do was giving us a refund which at that time would meant to be stucked in the airport which is 1 hour and a half far way from our hotel. Very poor customer service. The lady said that Kayak wasn't a reliable source and that she wasn't obligated to honor what the reservation said, which is unbelievable as I always use Kayak and this is the very first time that I have a situation like this.

Very friendly staff. Prompt service and clean car. The car I chose was not available at the time of pickup so I had an up charge for the first 3 days but liked the SUV so much I kept it the whole time.

Worse than terrible. We booked with budget 9 months before the holiday. We arrived at the budget desk and were told they didn’t have a car for us. This left us at the mercy of competitors who knew we were stuck so ended up paying way more than we had budgeted for.

Car (Suzuki Jimmie) had high mileage with warped brake rotors when they got hot on downhill runs. When we picked it up at the airport it was only 50% full of gas. The rear door rattled loudly when on rough roads. Other than that, it got us dependably where we wanted to go.

Pros:

Literally nothing went right

Cons:

We made a reservation 4 months ago, showed up to pick up our car and were told they had no cars left. They ignore reservations and just give cars on a first come first served basis. They did nothing to rectify the situation, we had to pay $100 for a taxi and book another car through another company. Do not book through Avis, it was truly an awful experience
