Returning the car and everything else was fine. The agent at the counter seemed very nice, but they added a lot of extras without being clear about it. My original order only included basic coverage and additional third-party insurance, nothing else. At the counter, the agent added options like no need to return with a full tank and roadside assistance. For example, with roadside assistance, they just said, 'You don't need to worry, if you have any issues, just call us,' without mentioning the extra cost of the insurance. I didn't notice at first and only discovered there was an extra $300 charge when I was about to pick up the car. I immediately went back and requested all the extras be canceled, insisting on just the prepaid items on my original order. Most front desk agents are like this, including at Hertz. Stay vigilant, or you’ll definitely get scammed.

I chose the full-to-full fuel policy, but the car wasn’t full when I picked it up. The shuttle bus is shared with Dollar, which resulted in a long wait. The bus was dirty, and the staff especially asked Chinese people for the return receipt, which felt racist and discriminatory. Although the price is competitive, I have to say that the overall experience with Thrifty is very poor.

Let me tell you about my unpleasant experience. The staff at this rental car company are extremely dishonest. The original order did not include an additional driver. He asked if I wanted to add one. I asked about the cost, he said it was free. I didn't believe him and confirmed again; he still said it was free and acted surprised, asking why I would want to pay. Later, he aggressively pushed various insurances, most of which I refused. However, for safety, I added the million-dollar third-party insurance. When printing the contract, I found that the child seat I had requested when booking was not canceled (we brought our own), and it was charged. It got canceled only after I requested it. The list did not show the cost of an additional driver. In the end, I was still careless. When settling the return, the fee of $13.3 per day for the extra driver was listed. Isn’t this fraud? The staff had a terrible attitude during the on-site communication about the fee, and the store manager acted like a scheming rogue, essentially saying that if you added it, you have to pay for it. Really disgusting! I suggest not choosing this store. If you have to, make sure to record the entire process of picking up and returning the car.

Car service was well above my expectations . Made my trip so much better and easier

Easy simple process

Total cost was $94US but I saw a A$400+ charge on my credit card. No damage to car before or after and returned with a full tank. Looking for a credit in days to come, never advised that a holding amount would be taken.
