Big, well-known European chain, so you don’t really need to worry about getting scammed. Of course they’ll try to upsell you, just stay rational with your spending.
Saw this deal on QEEQ and originally wanted a Toyota Corolla, but at the counter they gave us a Subaru Crosstrek instead. Drove over 600 km on the Great Ocean Road, even went on some muddy roads, and it handled really well, so we didn’t bother insisting on the Corolla anymore. The whole trip went smoothly with nothing to complain about.
We don’t really speak any foreign languages, but the counter staff were still super patient helping us with all the paperwork. The car was quite new and made everything a lot easier. I really recommend renting a car and driving yourself in Turkey—every time we rely on other transport at the airport it’s a long, exhausting hassle. Driving is much more flexible and you get to enjoy the scenery along the way.
The whole registration and rental process was great and really worry‑free. The car looked pretty new on the outside. While I was at the hotel, it got a small scratch, and I was really nervous they’d charge me for it. But when I went back, the staff just told me I could leave, said such a minor scrape wasn’t a problem and wouldn’t affect anything. They didn’t ask me to pay a cent, so all my earlier worrying turned out to be unnecessary.
Second time renting from them and the price is great. Only downside: the car they gave us didn’t have any caps on any of the four tire valves, so the air kept slowly leaking out as we drove… we literally had to top up the tires every single day.
Thrifty rental review: real-world test of a Nissan Sentra for daily commuting
Overall rating: (4/5)
Car rented: Nissan Sentra or similar
Location: Major US airport branches
Price & booking: great bang for your buck
Thrifty’s biggest selling point is definitely the price. After comparing with Hertz and Avis, Thrifty’s quote was clearly more competitive, especially if, like me, you only need a simple car to get around. The base rate was very reasonable, and booking through a third‑party site shaved the price down even further.
Car condition: a solid, practical runabout
I ended up with a Nissan Sentra.
- Exterior & interior: The car was generally clean. There were a few minor scratches on the outside (pretty normal for rentals), but the interior was in decent shape and well maintained.
- Driving experience: As a compact sedan, the Sentra is well‑suited for city driving and everyday commuting. Fuel economy was pleasantly good, and the seats were reasonably comfortable. For longer trips they can feel a bit on the thin side, but as a temporary, get‑you‑from‑A‑to‑B car, it does the job just fine.
