After we told them no insurance they put it on the paper work then when we pointed it out he had to start the paperwork over again. Originally issued a car with no gas and smelled like cigarettes badly. Had to unpack our backs and go all the way back to the rental center. No apology. Just a silent reissue of keys. Drop off was chaotic. No return recipet was issued.

Watch Your Bank/Credit StatementThe car was clean.You will get charged unexplained fees that will double the quoted Kayak rate, including a "fuel service fee" that no one will disclose to you until it shows up on your receipt and credit card statement. I will not be renting with Avis again.

It was a good car for the category I have selected.The car had some noise in the wheels during the whole renting days, which I could not identify. I believe that if the car has gone through some check before being delivered, this slight problem could be fixed.

Another great experience at Avis-OR TamboPrompt, efficient pick-up and drop-off, kind service, well-maintained, clean vehicle.It was hard to find the fuel station at OR Tambo Airport to refuel, and since I was running against the clock, I couldn't. But the Avis staff assured me that they'd handle it.

8.0 ExcellentNov 4 2016
Professional-looking but service can be improvedThe car was clean. When we rented the car, the ladies at the counter took time to explain where we were not insured (we only got PAI and CAD), which we appreciated, since we would probably spend more if we didn't have the extra insurance they promoted at the counter.We weren't too happy with the car selection. We reserved a Hyundai Accent (or similar), and the car we ended up with had really slow acceleration (VW Vito), which I don't think is at part with the Accent's. When we returned the car, the guys who received it said we would get our invoice within 5 working days, despite us insisting for our invoice. We had to wait for it from the man at the counter.

Great car. A bit dicey on front and back ends.Great car!!!We had a trainee helping us at pick up and the other service agents did not help her as much as she needed. It made our pick up time extremely long. Finding the drop off location at OR Tambo is a nightmare. Everyone who arrives there on time deserves a credit on their account.

2.0 MediocreJan 9 2017
Dollar did not even have the car for meWe arrived at the Dollar and were made to wait for about 45 minutes as some other customer ahead of us was facing some difficulty. Eventually when we did get to the agent, we were told that they had no car to offer us. Finally after a lot of arguments they offered us a company car - which was of no use given that we are a family of 4 with 5 bags. Despite much requesting, the agent simply refused to listen to us and was most rude in his dealings. He was blunt enough to tell us "I don't have a car for you so you can do whatever you like". Hence, I wish to understand what are the consequences of such an event including the fact that I have also been charged for insurance for a vehicle that I never received and was also put through much inconvenience

The staff was friendly and the car was nice.The wait was quite long getting the car. I was told it was easy to see the gas station at the airport upon the return but I didn’t. Someone from another rental helped me find it and actually rode with me. And they charged my credit card a $1300 deposit but haven’t credited it yet as promised.

Did not receive our carNothingWe came to the counter around 8am when we were supposed to pick up our car and they didn’t even what we ordered. So we waited because their systems were down. We waited over 45 minutes and still no car. We need to leave the airport around 9am to be able to make it to something we had planned. So we had to leave hertz and go to another rental company. We were 30 mins late to something that was very important. We were very unsatified with our service. Hertz made us late to something we needed to be on time too.

Unusual economic - many reasons!!!Nothing! I do NOT recommend!Terrible conditions!!!! The car was really dirty in the inside, the left sound box was burst, so to turn on the radio was almost impossible. We got the economic spark! They didn't tell you the car before, otherwise I would never take it. There was a hole in the windshield and we got scared because we were in the road for a few day in Kruger park. The others car rental offer much better deal for the same price. I took a fews day later a Sandero for the same price at Europcar (amazing deal and company).

Extremely low quality budget car at only fractionaGood location of pickup and drop off, however the car was extremely under maintained. It was missing boot and door trims, rattling parts, and old (34,000kms+). I will not be using thrifty ever again despite the slightly lower cost.
2.0 MediocreDec 19 2016
DisappointingAt first our car was really bad. We had to keep records of lots of scratches and cracks in the front shield when we got the car. There was a really bad smell of petrol inside the car the whole time and the seat belt sign didn't go off and started beeping for at least 2 minutes with every engine start although all seat belts were closed. And now they charged us another 100€ although we checked the car with one of the employees and there were no new damages at all and everything was fine. They didn't even send us any invoice or information about these extra costs and now they don't answer to our emails. (The German thrifty answered but apparently they don't have access to the South African or US system - another point which is ridiculous for such a big firm) I am really disappointed and will never book thrifty again!

Hey, it got us aroundStaff are friendly and helpful, and prices are reasonable.The pickup truck was old and somewhat anemic and we had to get a broken tail pipe support bracket re-welded while on the road. On the plus side, the dinged-up vehicle gave us a very low profile appearance.

I did not know that they had to hold a certain amount even though they already taken the rental amount. When you use a credit card not a debit card it shouldn't happen or let the party know about it

Disappointed at Europcar - not international standDid not like the car - had problems. Also no consideration taken that I drove it back to the airport late at night to minimise the issue and still got charged petrol. I should not have done that and let Europcar deliver a replacement car to me. Also disappointed that Europcar does not have no insurance option for zero excess! That provides piece of mind to the driver to have it as an option. OR Tambo pick up drop off.
