I've rented cars here several times and it was fine, but this time was so-so. I had to wait in a long queue for quite a while and didn't get the car I originally booked. They gave me a Chevrolet instead. It was a brand-new car, but it had a strong smell. We were in a rush, so had no choice. My child coughed the whole way. After making the payment, I noticed an extra charge of over $30. When I asked if it was tax, they said yes. However, later I found out my prepayment already included taxes. Could customer service clarify this? Picking up and returning the car went smoothly overall, but keep in mind that Thrifty seems to have merged with Hertz. You'll need to go to Hertz for both pick-up and drop-off. If you look for Thrifty, it might involve some hassle.
The agent misled us into purchasing E-Zpass for $350, but it wasn't activated and couldn't be used. We had to pay tolls out of our own pocket throughout the trip. When returning the car, we didn't get a refund, only the toll fees we paid ourselves were reimbursed, which amounted to a few dozen dollars. It might have been an oversight that E-Zpass wasn't activated, but I explicitly said it was too expensive and unnecessary when renting the car. The agent falsely claimed that many places don’t accept cash, but during our two-week trip, there was only one such toll station. Considering the toll costs, $350 is unreasonable. Moreover, not having E-Zpass activated meant we couldn't enjoy the convenience of automatic toll payments, yet we were still charged $350, which is completely incomprehensible and unacceptable.
Issues about the e-pass rental fees and toll fees need to be clearly stated on the platform. Every time, I end up getting tricked. This time, I didn't dare to get an e-pass because I was worried about high rental fees. Unexpectedly, it's all cashless tolls. We passed through about two toll stations on the first day, and later the bill came to $52.25.
Counter staff were very grumpy and unhelpful. There was the option of an ez-pass for tolls that was not explained at all which was also very unhelpful. They really appeared to nor care less.
Car staff on the other hand were very happy and helpful.
