About Thrifty: 2.0 /10
I have always rented cars from this company, but I never expected to be betrayed like this. I encountered a staff member who kept chatting with us. Even after we clearly stated that we didn't need any additional services, he first claimed that he had mistakenly processed our order and replaced it with another one. He asked me to authorize a $1 charge for verification, but then said my credit card didn't go through and asked me to use another credit card for authorization, creating a new order again. Since we were having a friendly conversation all along, I completely overlooked the new order he created. In the end, I was charged more than $300, including $55.17 for refueling charges even though I returned the car with a full tank, $23.97 for an airport facility fee, $215.76 for roadside assistance, and $25.26 in taxes, totaling $320.16. These scammers are so shameless! I'm extremely disappointed! How can someone be so deceitful? We'll see how this issue is resolved. I believe scammers like this will face consequences eventually!

I saw that online reviews for this company were not very high. When I arrived at the store, I was told that the Ford EDGE model I had booked was unavailable and that I had been upgraded to a Volvo CX40. At the time, I assumed this was a free upgrade (since in hotels and car rentals in China, if the original room type or vehicle you booked is unavailable, upgrades are generally free). After picking up the car in the parking lot, I realized that the Volvo CX40 was smaller than the original EDGE, and my luggage wouldn't fit. So, I carefully examined their receipt and fee details and discovered that the upgrade to the Volvo CX40 incurred an extra charge of $48 per day—almost double the original price. I returned to the counter and told them I wouldn't accept this arrangement, after which they switched me back to the Ford EDGE. This indicates that they must have had the EDGE available from the start but intentionally claimed it was unavailable to lure customers into upgrading with hidden charges. After returning to my home country, I discovered that, in addition to the amount I had already prepaid through the rental platform, they charged my credit card another $326. About $100 of this was for an insurance upgrade, which I accept, but the remaining $200+ was for unclear charges. I am currently disputing these with the company. This rental company has serious integrity issues, and I advise everyone to be cautious when choosing them.

“Thrifty made a mistake and then cheated me”
About Thrifty: 6.0 /10
Took forever to get my car at LAX. Had to change vehicles a few days into the rental, at which point LAX changed my return time in SF. But when I arrived on schedule to drop off in downtown SF, the office was closed. Apparently LAX didnt know the closing time in SF. Had to go back to SF office 7am the next morning, but Thrifty charged me an extra day and a late fee - $91.33. I followed their instructions and they charge ME money for a THIRFTY MISTAKE. I am still trying to get my refund. Will never use Thrifty again.

Pretty good, we got to choose our own car within the same class. Since we had a lot of luggage, we chose a bigger one.

Didn’t get the car I booked Chrysler 300, got yelled at and forced to take a Chev impala instead. I travelled from Australia to do an iconic drive from LA to Sam Fran only be let down by a rude lady when picking the car up.
