10.0 ExcellentMay 14 2017
Pros: Quick and professional service.Cons: Since this was my first time to rent at Richmond airport I had difficulty finding the return route. It could be more help if exit and return route could be given with the key to the car. Thank you.

StandardPros: Correct car was ready. Paperwork short as it was already booked.Cons: Correct car was ready. Paperwork short as it was already booked.it was a Saturday around noon, four people in line at the counter. Only one person working the counter. That is poor planning.

This was a delight.Pros: Very easy. Nice car.Cons: The seats in the Nissan cause one to slouch. Needed a lumbar support to compensate.
9.6 ExcellentMar 13 2017
Pros: All went well -- pickup / drop-off were painless, car ran very well mechanically (tires were way over-pressured), and was an excellent value for the money.Cons: Only minor complaints: on cleanliness (some stains on the rear seat and on the rear window deck that looked like toothpaste), and had to go back to get a prior damage descriptide sheet to document same and other previous small cosmetic damages.
8.0 ExcellentMar 12 2017
Helpful staff, great ridePros: Second time renting from Hertz. Service time was ok at pickup and superb at dropoff. I felt appreciated as a customer on both visits and will use this company again when the need arises.Cons: No complaints
4.4 OkayMar 9 2017
Car was not rentablePros: I like that I safely made it to my destination.Cons: Half way thru my drive I heard a noise drivers side front. When I arrived i noticed that there was broken plastic pieces behind the tire. The rental tech said that the previous renter must have popped a tire and hastily put on a new one. He then said my car was un-rentable. I am Not happy about this.

10.0 ExcellentSep 4 2020
Pros: Comfortable car, clean and very simple steps to pick it up and drop offCons: n/a
10.0 ExcellentAug 19 2020
Pros: The staff was extremely professional while we were checking in. He made sure we knew where our car was, and even helped with directions to our destination that night. I would definitely go back!Cons: He could have asked the person that had checked in before us to wait until we were finished to have his questions answered.
2.4 MediocreJun 28 2020
Pros: The experience was the worst I've ever had. There was no attendant at the Thrifty counter. There was a sign that said go to the Thrifty attendant in the parking garage. There was no attendant there, either, and a sign that said go to the Hertz counter. There were 10 people in front of me in line and I waited 45 minutes in line, making me late for my appointment. The attendant didn't have any envelopes for my sales contract and because he talked to a person in front of me about video games for several minutes caused the wait to be linger than it should have. When I returned my car there were no attendants in the garage I had to drop off my key in the after hours box, and I still have not received an email receipt. The entire experience was a fail and in 25 years of renting vehicles this is the first time I've ever complained.
6.8 GoodMay 13 2020
Pros: No one was at the kiosk for pickup. The sign inside the airport said go to the garage. We get to the garage and there’s another sign that said to go to the lower level but no one was downstairs. An agent from another rental service said go to Hertz, the parent company. Nobody was there. So we call a number and no one answered. Eventually, after 20 minutes someone shows up. However, my online reservation wasn’t in the system. They had my name but not my info or payment. We stood there for another 30 minutes. In the end, I had to complete paperwork by hand. It took about an hour to get a car. It was ridiculous.Cons: Now that we’re in the pandemic, have a better system for customer service. Other rental agencies had people working at their booths. Nobody was waiting for a car. If someone is going to be away from the rental desk, have a bell, phone number or something to alert an agent.
8.0 ExcellentFeb 12 2020
Pros: Staff was efficient and friendly, unusual for a car rental desk
10.0 ExcellentJan 28 2020
Pros: VERY friendly and super-helpful !! The lady at the drop off area was the best!
4.8 OkayJan 4 2020
Pros: Drop off was easyCons: Thrifty service agent was unpleasant like she hated every minute of dealing with customers and I could have done without that. Was directed to another car rental place in the rental car area (I can't remember which kiosk, Avis maybe?) but then the envelope they used was Dollar, very confusing. No car was ready even though it didn't seem busy. We stood around for 30 minutes!!! Finally they brought us the car, which I found out was a 7 passenger SUV "recreational style" while I thought I had rented a full size SUV. I was told you can't rent a full size SUV on Thrifty.com. Such a bummer but we made due. There was melted candy below the window in the 3rd row seat on the left. Disgusting. How did they not see it? Never again with Thrifty!!
10.0 ExcellentDec 27 2019
Cons: This experience was great! Thirty is much better than Budget! Will never do business with Budget again! Sweet employees at Thrifty ad very helpful!

Pros: the car was nice once we finally got to itCons: it took us about an hour and 15 minutes to get into our car with a pre-existing reservation. the first desk lady put us on a "Waiting list". we then checked out with her only to get sent to another slow line for that desk person to give us a car. little communication or apologize for what was delaying us. all this and my price for the rental was super high. not happy at all

Cons: We arrived at Avis counter which was among many companies. Only Avis had a long line, twenty customers deep. We cancelled the reservation (very easy to do thanks to the Kayak app) and took Ubers everywhere
2.0 MediocreJun 21 2021
Cons: Pick-up was terrible: only two staff for 30-some renters in line and nobody at the inside desk, we had to wait over an hour in the hot garage to get our car.
2.0 MediocreJun 2 2021

10.0 ExcellentJun 1 2021

2.0 MediocreNov 20 2019
Cons: Even with a reservation there were no cars available
2.8 MediocreOct 7 2019
Pros: Staff was friendlyCons: Car was not ready when I arrived at airport. All cars were dirty and being cleaned. Wanted to put my name on a list with 20 other people to call when/if they got a car clean that night. What is the purpose of a reservation if they are not going to honor it with an available car.
10.0 ExcellentSep 23 2019
Pros: Staff were friendly and pick-up and drop-off were a breeze.Cons: Would have liked a shorter wait time for pick-up.

Cons: Better communication! Had no idea Avis bought Budget: - no one to call at the desk phone just rings - at the counter you find out about the change - Returning car was in unorganized - car rental company should let the customer about insurance by third parties vs their own prior to rental
10.0 ExcellentMay 19 2021
Pros: Fantastic, Polite and professionCons: nothing

4.4 OkayMar 20 2017
Car Not AvailablePros: Got "upgraded" for freeCons: I reserved a small car because I was going to drive 3 hours from Richmond, VA to Raleigh, NC. When I picked up the car all they had left was a Suburban. Not the end of the world, I can still drive the big truck, but made parking next to impossible, and cost me at least double to pay for the gas used on my 3 hour drive.
