This experience was a nightmare. I arrived at my designated time for the rental pick up to be greeted by an hour-long line to speak with a counter agent. At the counter, the agent informed that there was a shortage of cars and that I would have to wait an additional 1.5-2 hours. The agent further said that my reserved SUV would not be available and that Thrifty would provide an electric car instead. When I asked the agent whether Thrifty planned to compensate me for the delay inconvenience and for the unavailability of my car, they told me it was not their fault but rather that of renters who returned their cars late. That response is unacceptable. In my desperation to leave Washington D.C. ( I was due in NYC that evening), however, I opted for the electric car. This was a terrible mistake. I will spare readers the inconvenience of driving an electric car for long distances. Suffice to say, while on the highway returning from a New England trip, the car’s battery suddenly dissipated. The next thing I knew, I was on the side of the road with a dead battery. It was around 6:30pm and quickly getting dark, so I called Thrifty roadside assistance. Thrifty had me on hold for nearly 20 minutes and my cell phone’s battery died. Eventually, the state police arrived, and I was instructed to use a contracted tow service. Two hundred and fifty dollars and a missed flight later (not to mention 4 hours of delay), I was finally back on the road. Because I missed my flight in Boston, I had to drive down to New York to catch the next flight. I am at a loss for words. This experience has soured me to Thrifty and to electric cars in general. I hope someone will think twice before using either for a rental experience if customer service does not improve.

Calvin at the rental desk was the rudest person I have ever experienced in any customer relation position. We arrived at 0655, and as we proceeded to enter the lined off area to the counter. We were rudely yelled at by Calvin, who told us he was closed and asked in a very rude manner, why we would enter. He continued to speak belittling to us, and would not let us answer that there was no sign telling us to not enter and we apologized. He continually shamed my husband and I. As we stood there, he continued to work on the computer after 7am, which was the time it was to open. He belittled and shamed another woman who did the exact same thing as my husband and I did, entering the area. At 7:10, he still did not open the line area and walked off. We and 3 other customers stood there. Finally he arrived back at 07:17 and opened the line. he got back on his computer, took his time, putting on his rubber gloves. At 07:20, he finally took his first customer, rudely telling her to stand in front of her and not be near the counter. I have photos documenting his time of behaviour. He should immediatley be taken off the front desk and examined and counseled. He obviously has anger management issues and should be replaced. A terrrible experience to start our day.

Thrifty was renting cars without having them available. Despite having a car reserved, they were forcing people to wait in excess of 2 hours with no seating available in the building. This practice should not even be legal and I would discourage anyone from reserving a car as they do not honor that reservation. Furthermore, despite having all of my information after making the reservation, the staff asks all of the same questions.

Overall great. One major exception —- - very difficult and dangerous finding where to enter and park car at National airport car rental garage.

When I arrived and waited in line to check in, I was told to take a seat as it would be awhile before a car was ready ! 30 minutes later I ended up with a Hyundai and had to go to a gas station every single day and put air in the drivers side rear tire …… when I told the employee upon returning the car they were disinterested and could care less …. Never again will I rent from Thrifty !
