When I arrived 30 minutes early to pick up my car, the first staff member told me to come back in 15 minutes. When I returned after 15 minutes, another staff member told me to wait another 15 minutes. This was really frustrating.

The original car I reserved wasn't available at the location, so the staff replaced it with a Nissan SUV, which met my needs.

I booked the car for 7:00 PM. Due to an early flight arrival, I reached the company's counter at 5:50 PM, but the attendant insisted on processing my rental at 7 PM. At 6:55 PM, they still asked me to wait for 5 more minutes. After a 15-hour flight, I really wanted to get the car and rest. They had cars available, and I could have returned the car earlier if I picked it up earlier. This company is not good. In my previous rentals, I could always pick up the car as soon as there was availability. I will avoid this company in the future if possible.

I was truly disappointed that at time of drop off Thrifty refused to provide a local ride to my work (less than 3 km), even though it is indicated they provide pickup and drop off rides to their customers at their website. The staff simply indicated that they are busy and cannot provide rides at time of drop off! I had to hire a taxi for $15.. Also, instead of a pre authorization for a deposit, Thrifty had already charged me $350 for a deposit which I have not yet received back post 4 day.

Receiving my deposit within 1-2 months is totally not acceptable!

The car had 78000 km on the clock. There was a clear noise from the front when turned. I suspect the steering rack is worn. I would have expected a rental car not to have such issues. The counter staf were not aware of Platinum cover I had and tried to sell me additional cover.
