Several dozen people were told that they ran out of cars and that we would have to either wait 2 plus hours for returns or go to another rental agency. This is complete failure on management to plan, especially for an airport location. I ended up paying DOUBLE for my rental because of their incompetencies.

Pick up process at Phoenix Rental Car Centre is terrible … the wait at counter is ALWAYS too long - with not enough staff… Once you actually get to the counter, the sign up process seems too complicated and takes a long time, and finally when you go downstairs to pick up your car, we had to wait another full HOUR to get our car because there wasn’t enough vehicles to supply the demand… I wish this was only a single occurrence but it has happened the 5 times we’ve gone through Phoenix rental car centre -

3hour wait to get checked in and then 2 hour wait for a car. Only had one person processing rental cars. Staff said it was the same way last year for this time of year. They already knew they were going to be busy so they Should have had more staff on duty.

I had no one inspect the car before we left and when we returned. I had to go out of my way to get an inspection sheet and do it myself.

Idk if it was because they had offered a super awesome, can't-miss, out of this world deal for the weekend we rented, but the line at the Thrifty rental counter was outrageous. No other rental counter had near the amount of business. I actually started looking online to rent at a different company while standing in line because the line was long and SLOW. I waited in line for close to 20 minutes and I wasn't even inside the Thrifty counter area when the Dollar counter employees invited us over to their counter. That doubled the number of employees renting cars to customers. Look, the company knows how many cars are going out that day. Plan to get the Dollar counter to help sooner. When the line starts snaking out of the Thrifty area and around seating areas and crossing in front of two other counters, maybe you waited too long to start pulling people out and sending them to the Dollar counter.

They were out of cars. None- there were about 60 people there that night and they did not get their vehicles. I paid a high upgrade fee to get a Shelby mustang convetible - it was the only car they had left. I was expecting to pay about $200 for a rental and I ended up spending about $900. It was a horrendously suboptimal experience. The car, however, was nice, but it would have rather been able to rent and pay for what I needed, not for a fancy sports car.
