Mediocre|Aug 2023
At the Pick-up line up was like 3rd world country, kind of hurt my vacation's start. Although I explained my needs the staff at pick up paperwork, pursuit me for lots of up-sales. I spent a lot more than my need, definitely never Thrifty anymore. Drop off was fine. Tnx

The car was not available and Thrifty couldn't tell me when I would get my car. Very unprofessional staff at the counter. Couldn't have cared less.
