We reserved a car but it wasn't ready and had to wait 25 minutes while they looked for a car and had it serviced. What good is making a reservation if it doesn't guarantee a vehicle?

Bait and switch- got sent to another site and had to pay up front with no refund option.

Bo shuttle from cruise port to rental. Agent took forever to complete paperwork. The rental reservation was "lost" in their system even after me showing them the confirmation email. The day after I received an email telling me I didn't return the vehicle even after the rental company taking me back to the port (a plus). Car was clean but not full (3/4 full). Ended up paying 15 usd to drive the car only 35 miles.

There is an office at the airport but no one was in. We waited 15 minutes then tried the number. No answer. We tried the other office and got hold of someone who said they would call us back. 20 minutes later a van showed up to take us to our hotel and said they had no cars available. We got checked in and then I tried both numbers multiple times and nobody answered. Finally at 5 pm (we arrived at 2) someone answered only to be told the office closed at 4:30. I called the next morning and was told they would call me back. Around 11 am they called and said they had found a car but it was with Avis. They picked us up and drove us to Avis. Unfortunately when we got there Avis said they hadn’t discussed rates so we ended up paying 20% more because at this point we just needed a car. 1. We appreciate that Thrifty was out of cars because people had failed to return them on time. And appreciate the work behind the scenes to get us rides and find a car but the communication was not very good. Another couple was trying to drop their car at the airport but there wasn’t anyone to greet them. With the ability to communicate more we could easily have just used that car possibly. As it was they didn’t even know it had been dropped off
