We had already purchased insurance, but they still aggressively tried to upsell additional insurance. To avoid trouble, we reluctantly bought a little more, fearing that they might give us a bad car if we refused. Perhaps they were dissatisfied with what we bought, as we ended up with a very poor-quality car with over 60,000 miles on it. The car vibrated while idling at red lights, making the experience dreadful and giving us constant fear that it might break down on the road. Initially, we didn't notice issues at lower speeds, but on the highway, when we drove over 70 mph, the entire car shook. We had to keep the speed below 65 mph. We will not rent vehicles from this company again. (Additionally, there was a hidden charge, which we are checking with the bank to identify. It may be related to a high-speed toll system they promoted. They claimed it was pay-as-you-go and refundable for unused amounts, but if this charge turns out to be non-refundable, it’s truly unacceptable. We will provide further clarification once confirmed.)
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.
