CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON THRIFTY IN ABU DHABI

I've never experienced any difficulties with Thrifty in the past, but here in Abu Dhabi. It started with the pick-up. I was an hour earlier then indicated and this gave already difficulties while the car was ready. Finally I was an hour late due to d-tours because of road works and a crying baby that required a bottle. Without any empathy I had to pay 189 AED extra for that single hour which also included 26AED Parking costs which is nowhere described! which is equal to 2.5 days rental... Where

Not all details about the terms and conditions where shown. I.e. Parking costs that have to be paid where not clear.

Hidden charges that were not mentioned in contract or included in surcharges DREADFUL ripped off

Constant communication throughout the process, 3 hours! My goodness. All sorts of fees were not clearly communicated beforehand.

Thrifty is a local car rental company. The pickup location we went to was small with only one or two staff members, but there was almost no wait. When consulting with the staff about rental and fee issues, they were very patient in answering our questions. The car pickup process went very smoothly. When returning the car, our rented vehicle had no scratches and had not incurred any fines, but the staff checked the car very thoroughly. There was a very small dent on the door, which was probably caused by another car's door hitting it in the parking lot. However, since it was not very noticeable, the rental company did not charge any extra fees. Overall, the experience was quite good.

Satisfied

The staff was quite friendly, but the service was slow.

The car is terribly uncomfortable and consumes a lot of petrol.
