Not happy with Thrifty staff

Very cheap but the lack of customer service or even regard for its customers outweighs the price point. It does not cost them to smile and be more informative. The experience started to deteriorate at the airport when I realised they had a pick-up service. I had not opted for it but I showed them the reservation and offered to pay the difference if they would take us to the pick-up location. They refused. At the pick-up location, a lot of time was wasted on people trying to search for proof of address online and in archives. This could very simply be resolved by them announcing to everyone to have their proof ready so that everyone did not have to wait while the people at the counter tried to get the documents and then the next person does the same and the one after that too. The pick-up location does not have any toilets or tea/ coffee facilities or vending machines. It was very crowded with 4 families all waiting for a pick-up.

Quite easy to make the booking. Very flexible arrangements. Cheap top-up insurance to bring excess to zero.

The car we were offered was a seven seater but the rear seats were basically children's seats. I had to upgrade to a larger model for an additional £80. The customer service representative didn't give a damn about us just getting the money. POOR AT BEST.

Needing an NI number to release a car is excessive (other companies don't ask for this). Staff at pick up location unprofessional. Discussing who had drunk the most the night before, the sexual desirability of celebrities and who could avoid the most work. Car inspector rude. Drop off process took far too long but at least Worcester staff were professional

Exorbitant charges for scratches on car tire

Like: Very friendly but eficient staff, free upgrade, no hidden charges, no waiting, quick and friendly transfer to airport
Dislike: nothing could be improved!
