We had reserved a Jeep and had to settle for a Mustang. We had others that we wanted to bring to the beach but there is absolutely NO ROOM in the back seats. My knees would have been in my chest if I were to move the seat up enough. This is why we wanted a Jeep. The other issue here is that we had to wait in line for over 1 hour to get a vehicle that we had reserved and never got. On top of that, we signed up for your highly promoted "skip the Line" and found out that it was not working. Totally unacceptable.!!!!

I completed all of the paperwork online in advance and it took an hour and ten minutes to get the car. Unacceptable. The airport agent , Michelle, changed my return time to an hour later. When I returned it, Thrifty sent me an additional bill which I was able to get resolved thru the customer service phone number. However, when I returned the car, there was confusion because the sign at the end of the return aisle said to return the key to the drop box at the kiosk and when I did so the agent at the kiosk told me to drive back around to him but the car was parked at the end of the return aisle where the sign was. After I gave him the keys another employee told me to give Him the keys. Poor system.
