2.0 Poor
i request few day before some information about the deposit, they told me in the cornavin agence it was 750 chf. but at the pickup location this number magically increased to 3000. The only way to reduce this oversized amount was to subscribe a very limited and expensive insurance at the pick up point. I had to cancel my booking due to this deposit amount, since it was beyond my card limit amount and i found another rental solution. I find this amount excessive for an economy car rental, i would have appreciated to receive this information in advance.

The line to get rental was horrible. There were 5 people in front of me and it took 2 hours to get to the counter and get the car

Car rental Agent was very pushy to force purchase insurance, it seems he works on commission, Also threatening me that he is charging my visa daily until the car fixed, this is The last time with Thrifty

2.0 Poor
Not being ripped off on extras I didn’t ask for, these charges forced me to ring up twice to get them removed then told when returning the car it’s not refundable so a battle but I WON Also the website and online order from did not state I must provide my driving license making me return to my sons house the return to airport after paying a $65 Uber fee.
G
10.0 Wonderful
Quality of the vehicle was top notch. I don't see any reason for paying extra money by renting from those "other" more expensive companies.
R
2.0 Poor
The employee repeatedly insisted that I take additional insurance, even though I clearly stated several times that I did not need it. In the end, I was charged $92 for insurance I did not want.
A
2.0 Poor
I showed up and the class of vehicle I had rented was not available. The person at the front desk could not have cared less. She says I can give you another smaller vehicle or you can wait for hours.
B
2.0 Poor
We never got the car we rented.
