This will be my last experience with this organization. The lack of professionalism and access to service was by far the worst Ive encountered. Upon arrival I was offered an upgrade by Mr. John which I accepted. We informed the representative that no roadside would be...

Everyone had to wait for their cars

1.0
After signing the contract, the agent held onto my contract and told me at that time that I would be waiting at least 45 minutes for my vehicle. There was no explanation as to why.There were not enough staff to clean vehicles. We waited over two hours. There were still 20 customers in line making contracts with this company not knowing that they would have to be waiting this long. Some of the customers were elderly as am I. After getting a little pushy, we were directed to hertz Rent-A-Car. After some gentle prodding, one lovely lady it hurts assisted us to upgrade to available cars.

Terrible service. After spending the entire day from 3am traveling----Thrifty Car Rental in the Dallas Fort Worth treated us terribly. The young male that repped this company should be fired.

1.0
My wife used her credit card to secure the vehicle. They said they needed my license and a credit card...and I only had a debit card with me. They were rude and obnoxious and refused to help after my wife asked to see a manager.

User's recommendation: DO NOT USE THRIFTY CAR RENTAL IN DALLAS FOR WORTH AIRPORT.

Overcharged on Toll admin fees

3.2
When we rented from Thrifty in California this June 2022, we were not told that there would be admin fees of $60.00 on top of toll road charges. It would have been nice if they gave you an opt out on this. I knew perfectly well how to log on to the toll roads website...

I have used your service for many years but after this process I will not be a customer anymore one of the worst customer service I have ever experienced with this company

I waited 2 hours or more for a car that I reserved coming home for an emergency I believe that the service site needs both more personal and a better direct support service after this I don't believe that I will consider your services anymore along with my wife and family

User's recommendation: Maybe seek out service from a company that has business and customer service focus.

To make the public aware of things to look for when renting before leaving the rental car company..

We just rented from Thrifty at Sky Harbor. Contact said full gas tank. Only 1/4 full. Also very low tire pressure right back tire and had to fill several times while I had the vehicle.

User's recommendation: It is always best to check out the fuel, tires etc before leaving the rental center as the vehicles are not always maintained as they should be.
