Overall, I'm quite satisfied. The car was in great condition, it was a new model X3 with strong power and quick acceleration (probably because the car is relatively light). The onboard GPS was very useful. Important to note: The counter staff will still offer additional paid items such as insurance and prepaid fuel. I had already purchased insurance when I rented the car, the likelihood of needing glass and tire insurance is low unless you are in an area with poor security (like an incident near my home where a car window was smashed and robbed). Generally, you don't need it, especially if you're staying in a hotel. Prepaid fuel is also unnecessary; many gas stations are cheap, and it's unlikely you will use up a full tank right when returning the car.

The staff were very helpful, providing guides and assistance for online self-service car pickup.

Because we needed to install three child seats, we initially requested a vehicle with foldable rear seats. Upon picking up the car, we found that the trunk was too small to fit two suitcases. The rental company immediately provided a car with a much larger trunk. Very satisfied.

There was no proper queuing system at the Thrifty shuttle pick up point. We had 8 pieces of luggage (inc car seat and pram) and it was impossible for us to get on the shuttle bus that takes us from the Thrifty drop off office to LAX. The buses that came were either full or people have no consideration that we arrived first. We ended up having to call UberXL.

Like: Service staff was friendly and helpful
Dislike: Waiting time at SF airport car pick up was too long
