The vehicle we rented was due for an oil change so every time you started the van the alert for the oil change would ping. Windows on the vehicle were so smeared you could barely see out with sun glare.

Very long wait to pick up the vehicle, then didn’t have the vehicle I reserved and only offered me a smaller vehicle for the same rate and would have charged me for a larger one.

Terrible, they gave me a “special” rate where is should have said fully electric car because the car was more costly than a midsize sedan which lead me to believe it was a larger vehicle. The person at the desk refused to change my deal because it was purchased on Kayak and then proceeded to try to upsell me a car that was going to be twice as expensive than the internet price. NEVER AGAIN!

Pickup and drop off can be a bit chaotic, but on Saturdays especially there are a lot of cars being turned around in a short period of time. Best to get your mind into “island time” before entering the rental building. We got a flat tire during our rental and team took care of it with no complaints and dropped off a new rental car to our condo - great service.

The lady issuing my vehicle was shady. Tried her best to get me to buy more insurance. Tried her best to make me buy a very expensive toll pass that I didn’t need. Would not go with Thrifty or their partner agencies again. D!ckheqds.

Make sure staff are aware of the offer to pick up or drop off service included for car rental, within the 3 kms as stated. There was hesitation and delay dropping me off to my house after car was returned. I live 2.3 kms from rental office.

Overall good. insurance was expensive but provided peace of mind.

2.0 Poor

mohamed, Mar 2025

The communication was poor, and the staff was unhelpful. During a natural disaster, when a cyclone was about to hit the city, I called the staff to request a change in my drop-off location. However, instead of assisting me, multiple staff members kept transferring me from one person to another for over 1.5 hours and several phone calls. It was extremely frustrating, as each representative kept repeating the same message—that I couldn’t change the drop-off location—despite me explaining that a cyclone was approaching. Their lack of flexibility and common sense was astonishing. In the end, I had no choice but to drive to another city, as the original airport's operations were suspended, yet the staff still insisted I return the car to that location. (I doubt Thrifty tests all its staff, making sure that they must not have any brain cells- no thinking and no common sense)

We ended up paying $ 1700+ instead of the $600+ that came up on the Kayak website. Would NOT recommend.

I liked the friendliness of the crew and the KIA Ceed I was handed to use was clean and topped off. Really enjoyed the car and was forewarned about alternate routes when turning in the rental car as there was a scheduled construction and road closures,
