Pros:
Car was clean and ready for meCons:
at the time of reservation wasn't informed of extra charges, at the time of pick up I was told I needed to pay 140 is more, to rent the car. When I asked for an explanation on the time of drop off the person on the counter seemed annoyed and dismissed me as quick as she could since I was bothering her... won't ever use this company again.8,0 Very Good

Aug 2017
Pros:
The Vehicle was very comfortable.Cons:
The Service was not good at all. They refused to show the components of the car, In fact, I needed the vehicle to drive to Omaha, NE and could not find the cruise control. I could have read the manual but was in a time crunch. Then I had paid for extra insurance through you. Not knowing how things worked with them, I usually use Enterprise, when asked I also purchased the insurance they offered. I assumed that they knew about my complete contract. I work in retail and we ask the customer what they have before we offer any additions. I expected them to be the same way. it was my fault also that I was pressed for time and a little perplexed with the service. I am used to a more congenial and friendly atmosphere which was not present. If asked I would not recommend thrifty to anyone.6,0 Okay

Cons:
The price was different from the original quote that you gave me. There was a 200 dollar deposit and unlimited mileage wasn't unlimited on in covered areas so an additional 80 dollars had to be paid6,0 Okay
Jul 2017
Pros:
Vehicle was clean and drove nice. Plenty of room.Cons:
Added expenses upon pick up. Charged extra ($35) to use my debit card but not given a choice of other payments. Also charged a $200 deposit. And have to wait up to two or three weeks to get it back. Charged another $100 for going outside the very limited amount of states they allowed. So my $469 rental price was jacked up to $806. Very disappointing.8,0 Very Good

Jul 2018
Cons:
You wrote a review for Avis Rent A Car 2 days ago 1.0 star rating 7/25/2018 An unbelievable event that is stranger than fiction. I made a reservation on 6/28/18 for a 3-day rental of a full size car in St. Louis, MO, beginning yesterday, 7/24/18. Yesterday, before making my flight to St. Louis, I realized that the reservation had been made for a location off the airport property, so I called the corporate customer service number to see if this could be changed. It turns out the PGA event in St. Louis left no cars available at the airport. I thanked the agent and ended the call. When I got to the off-site location (via Lyft but no fault of Avis), the agent there told me my reservation had been changed to June of next year in Alaska for a SUV vehicle! I called the corporate customer service number and explained my dilemma, and they said they could do nothing to change it. Because of the PGA event, this off-site location was out of cars (except for the one I had reserved but then lost due to the change in reservation). I filed a grievance and asked to be called by a supervisor in 24 hours. No call. No car. No help. So I have been stuck taking several Lyft rides to my business appointments. Unbelievable.3,6 Poor
