When picking up the car, the staff tried to forcefully sell us insurance. They refused to give us the car unless we bought it. I called the rental company but the representative was unhelpful and just asked us to sign the form. Eventually, we had no choice but to agree to an increased price from $459 to $538 (originally over $700). They gave us a Mazda 5 instead of the mid-size SUV we booked. We were only given four cars to choose from. When I pointed out our booking, the staff casually indicated all four were small cars. I had to insist it was an SUV before they acknowledged the four available. Overall, it was an unpleasant experience. Avoid using THRIFTY at all costs. Their shuttle service is extremely infrequent; we waited 45 minutes for one to arrive.
I have rented from Thrifty several times at this location, but this was the most disappointing experience. After a late-night flight, the queue was long, and the Indian staff member aggressively upsold extras and insisted we pay for an upgrade. In the end, the car we received had a broken air conditioner.
They claimed there was a smoke smell in the car during return and wanted to charge me 400. They also promoted various insurance options at pickup. Do not book the cheapest option, go for the second tier instead.
