2.0 Poor
I got the vechile with low fuel, I was expected to fuel the tank to drive it, then bring it back with a full tank. Gotta love it l, paying for someone else's gas. Be prepared at this location for that to happen.
A
10.0 Wonderful
Nothing really all is in order
J
6.0 Okay
Fine. Not great. Took a long time to pick up. Not the car I reserved. Not great value.
G
2.0 Poor
No cars were available at all when I showed up to pick mine up. Ruined my day and cost me a lot of money. Never going to use Kayak or Thrifty. Never.
D
8.0 Very Good
Pick-up was catastrophic, it took nearly 2 hours... Drop-off at Brisbane Airport was extremely easy
N
2.0 Poor
We reserved a car twice through Thrifty at the Montevideo airport. The first time they responded that they couldn't fulfill our reservation. Then we saw availability again, and reserved again. This time no reply, but we called to confirm with them a few days later. They said they did not have any cars available and could not fulfill our request. They never actually cancelled our reservation. Very frustrating??
M
10.0 Wonderful
The credit card hold amount is very high. It appears that is standard for Ireland. Taking the full insurance is a good idea anyway, and lowers the cost. Service was very good all round.
A
4.0 Mediocre
Instead of blocking the security deposit amount on my credit card, like everyone else does, they made a payment equal to the security deposit and then, sometime after I returned the car, processed a refund. This resulted in me losing about 12% of the money to the bank to cover the exchange rate differences.
A
2.0 Poor
They had no cars to rent, so even when we had a car reserved months ago, We were stranded at the airport in a foreign country with no car. Not to be trusted. Unreliable.
A
6.0 Okay
Was charged $20 extra to have snow tires which is ridiculous. Ordered an suv and was given the smallest one possible. Didn’t qualify as a sub for my family of 4. So small we couldn’t fit our luggage in. I will do my best to choose another company as Thriftys sizing of their cars is not normal .
