Poor|Aug 2023

The car was in poor condition. There were pills on the floor near the drivers seat. The sensors are delayed I advised the center to not offer this car to any other patrons. Keep in mind, this wasn't even the car that I originally wanted because of size. So basically, it wasn't what I wanted, it was in poor condition and it drives poorly. Unfortunately, this was an all around bad experience.

My first ever experience with thrifty was terrible. I made my reservation online for a 8pm pickup and when I got there the attendant refused to honor or even look at my reservation email. She didn't even check the system and said they were sold out of vehicles. I told her that I was trying to make it home with my wife and two young children. She had no empathy for me. It was as if she didn't even care. I walked over to Avis and they helped me with ease. I was able to make it home and even for half the price. Never will I ever use thrifty again. Avis won my business
