They honored my vehicle choice. The car was not available for three hours after my reservation. They did not provide any compensation to the inconvenience of the delay. They only provided an option to call their hotline.Reviewed Oct 29 2024

We never got either a car or a person with Kayak to address the situation. Our planned trip was long distance to a remote area. We intentionally rented a gas powered vehicle, and when we arrived, all they had available was electric with insufficient charge. We tried both calling Kayak and working with the online system, neither of which would accept our reservation number or connect us to a human being. We ended up contesting the charge with our credit card company...and never got to take our trip!Reviewed Sept 30 2024

On arrival to pickup reserved car was told no available cars ( this was trure for 6-8 other people arriving to pickup cars) and expected wait times would be 2-3 hours. Since prepaid only option for refund was going through expedia. when that was done I went yhrough multiple calls and call menus without being able to talk to anyone who would listen to me before transferring me to another call menu which never worked. Since I was unable to reach expedia for refund I had to wait 2 1:2 hours for rental car. rest of process worked ok BUT I WILL NEVER RENT A CAR THROUGH EXPEDIA(KAYAK) AGAIN or PROB NOT FROM THRIFTY EITHER!!!!Reviewed Sept 28 2024

They charged me $17.65 for 2 gallons for gas even though I filled up the car right before I brought it in just 3 miles from the drop off location. Scammers! The car was completely full! Their process for trying to get a refund for fraudulent charges is ridiculous. They have no one you can even talk to on the phone. They’re liars and thieves.Reviewed Mar 19 2024

I was told at the counter that there were no cars available and that I would have to come back later. Arriving at 2am, and being stranded in Atlanta is NOT optimal. I will never use them again. Absolutely ZERO communication and unprofessional. DO NOT RECOMMEND!Reviewed Nov 13 2023

FAQs about hiring a car from Thrifty in Atlanta

  • What are some of the advantages of booking with Thrifty car rental in Atlanta?

    A really good reason to book Thrifty car rentals in Atlanta is that Thrifty offers a loyalty rewards member program. When you join the program, you save 15% on your rental, plus you also get priority service when renting a car, so you can skip any lines and head straight to your car when you arrive in Atlanta. This can be beneficial at a busy airport like the one in Atlanta, especially when traveling on holidays and weekends.

  • If I'm traveling to Atlanta with my family to go to Six Flags over Georgia, what will be the best time to drive from Atlanta?

    Because plenty of people bring their kids to Atlanta to head to this great destination spot, they often want to know the best time to head to the park after they book Thrifty car rentals in Atlanta. Just like any large city in the United States, Atlanta is going to have busy traffic on Interstate 20 heading to the park in both the morning and evening rush-hour periods but especially in the evening when folks are leaving downtown. Your best bet for travel times is mid-day, and if you can go on weekdays, you will also find less traffic than on weekends and holidays.

  • What kind of parking is going to be available for me for my rental car in downtown Atlanta?

    If you plan on parking on the streets in downtown Atlanta after you book Thrifty car rentals in Atlanta, you will find parking meters in most locations running Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The longest amount of time you can park in one of these metered spaces is 3h. That, of course, means that on the weekends and most holidays you will not have to pay for parking. There are also a very large number of parking garages and surface lots available in the downtown area that may be a cheaper option where you can also park for much longer than a metered space.
