We had arrived at the first leg of our three week trip and now needed transportation on the ground. Thrifty Car Rental had an internet  special on a weekly rental for a mini-van. Since there would be four and sometimes more of us on this trip with lots of luggage, a van sounded really good to… read full review »

I have had two rentals from Thrifty in the last 5 months.  Each time it was because they had the lowest price (I've got all fo the majors and minors near me).  And, each time there was something wrong with the car.  While they were fixable, it caused needless delays and headaches.… read full review »

Thrifty is consistent — I've used Thrifty Car Rental in countless locations across the U.S.   I have yet to have a "nightmare" experience, and have usually been more than happy. Prices are good, Cars are clean — Thrifty generally has lower prices than many of the other rental companies (except Alamo, and sometimes National).   The cars are clean and relatively ding-free.   — Libby's Hot Tip:  Always walk around your car and get the rental agent to note any damage before you depart the airport.  That way, YOU won't… read full review »

We have used Thrifty almost exclusively for the past few years and have never been disappointed. I am not usually brand-loyal. I always go for the best service for the best price. But 9 times out of 10, Thrifty has the lowest price. And they practically stumble over themselves to give you the best deal possible. We have gotten to the rental counter several times and been offered a free upgrade - once from an economy car to a mini-van. That was our trip through Yellowstone and with all the driving, we were so thankful for the extra room. — Last year I got a better deal through another… read full review »

I just rented a car for a week while on vacation and we used Thrifty. We were given a 4door Suzuki something that was scaled down (did not come with the bells and whistles you'd see in other cars these days). There was no cruise control, the driver seat was manual for adjustment, not electric. The mph window was on the 10s so you had to actually pay attention to your speed by counting the hash marks in between the 10, 20, 30, etc. The seat could not be lifted up for shorter drivers such as myself so seeing the hood of the car was impossible for me. — The interior had been cleaned… read full review »

I found Thrifty to be easy to deal with. I made my reservation on-line and had no surprises when I picked the car up. The paperwork was minimal due to the information I had already completed on-line.  The car was actually better than I expected and worked well for what I needed.  The only drawback was the high level of air or fabric freshener they used.  It took about 3 days for the strong aroma to… read full review »
