New rental garage just opened. Maybe they will work the bugs out in the future.

I was charged $45 to recharge this electric vehicle that I drove only 63 miles. As that is about half what I pay for the electricity for my entire house in a month, it amounts to highway robbery. This charge was not clearly spelled out by the Thrifty employee when I picked up the car. I will therefore not be using Thrifty or Kayak to rent cars in the future, or recommending that anyone else do so.

Such an easy process for pick up and return. The lady working the desk was so friendly and helpful and the service was wonderful all around.

!!!I WILL NEVER RENT A VEHICLE THROUGH KAYAK OR WITH THRIFTY AGAIN!!! Kayak offers an option to purchase insurance, but it does not apply to Thrifty vehicles. As a result, I had to buy additional insurance directly from Thrifty to ensure our rental was covered for the trip. The total cost ended up being over $600 — and that does not include the 5-day rental itself.

Still haven’t heard about the $75 “gas” replacement fee that was supposed to be refunded if car was returned with a full tank(which it was). The rental lot in st kitts was poorly demarcated and staffed
