This was my first car rental experience in the U.S. After leaving Los Angeles Airport, I had to look for the rental company shuttle at the roadside, there's a designated stop nearby that takes some searching. Once at the store, the pickup was fairly smooth with no extra sale fees. However, the originally booked mid-size SUV was replaced with a compact Chevrolet Equinox. The staff told us there were no cars of the booked type available. Although we weren't happy about it, the given car was newer and could still fit our luggage, so we accepted it. During this trip, we rented cars from three different companies and encountered issues each time. This was the least problematic experience.
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.
