Although there was a slight delay due to the holiday weekend, pick up was easy. The car was somewhat new and clean. I would highly recommend Thrifty car rental.

The Lady we dealt with in Broome was absolutely lovely and great service manner we hired a 12 seater van for our wedding to make it easier for everyone to get around. The van was very clean and good to drive

No car pick up at airport , I had to take a train to bari center to pick up the car. Also i wanted to return one day later, impossible to get someone on the phone, and impossible to modify the rental online…. So basically, no one answers, and online website doesn’t work to modify ????

Hello Thrifty Customer Care, I’m writing to dispute several charges on my recent rental (Vehicle: SIRENCOREGXFW1S, Contract 01621/1279470). Total charged: $537.01 for 2 days at $69.99/day + a $30/day upgrade. Based on the receipt, here’s what I’m contesting: Inter-City Fee – $100.00 The car was picked up at IAH (Houston Intercontinental) on 08/28 and returned to HOU (Hobby) on 08/30. This was within the same metro area and was driven only 239 miles. I was not clearly informed that returning to a different Houston airport would trigger a $100 fee, nor was an alternative offered at pickup. Given the short distance, same-city return, and minimal mileage, I’m requesting a full waiver of this fee as a goodwill/clarity issue. Fuel Purchase Option (FPO) – $36.86 The vehicle left at 97% fuel and was returned at 97% fuel. With the tank returned nearly identical and only 239 miles driven, there was no need for a prepaid fuel purchase. If FPO was added, it was not clearly explained that it’s non-refundable when returning at the same level. Please remove/refund this charge. Concession Fee Recovery 11.11% – $33.33 and VLC/CFC/BUS – $22.81 Please provide the exact base amount used to calculate the 11.11% and a written explanation of each surcharge. The tax base of $466.96 also appears inflated relative to the rental/upgrade subtotal and add-ons. I’m requesting a line-by-line tax/surcharge calculation. LDW – $73.98 (2 × $36.99/day) If LDW was required to obtain the quoted rate, please confirm. Otherwise, note that the overall pricing appears to have increased significantly beyond the expected 2-day rental + upgrade. If LDW was not clearly optional or was auto-selected, I request a courtesy adjustment. To be reasonable, the total should reflect: Base + Upgrade (2 days): $199.98 LDW (if retained): $73.98 Removal of Inter-City Fee ($100) and FPO ($36.86) Corrected surcharges/taxes calculated on the proper taxable base . Please review and issue a refund/adjusted invoice, or provide a detailed written breakdown justifying each contested amount. I appreciate your prompt help—I’m happy to discuss by phone as well.

Being charged for gas after I filled it up 2miles away and they still added 1gal at $11 is ridiculous.

The insurance through Kayak doesn't include comprehensive coverage. Next time, might have to look ot see what other options are available.

The car was dirty, inside and out. The rental clerk was less than helpful or willing to provide direction. The additional fees made the total price more than double the advertised price.
