I booked a GMC Yukon or similar, because we had a lot of luggage, besides 6 people. Tried to contact them in advance, but it is imposible to contact Dollar branches. Tried also by Facebook, Instagram and Google Maps. Poor feedback. Once there, fotunately got a car as big as I needed, but it was also 1 hour wait.

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

The company was not up front with their pricing for unlimited miles. I used the car to travel to Massachusetts and Rhode Island but also needed to go to New Hampshire. This company charges additional money to take the car to New Hampshire. Had I known this prior to booking I would not have booked with this company. Unfortunately, I only found out when I arrived at the booking site in person and it was already too late.
