They had some problems when picking up. I stood in line for an hour with only 6 people ahead of me when I got there. No communication as to why.Reviewed Oct 15 2024

Pros:We were unable to go to Hawaii because of COVID. They charged us over $700.00 for a car we never used. I will never book thru Priceline or use Thrifty ever again. Trying to talk to them about this was a waste of time. They just kept repeating that the reservation was not cancelable.Cons:Recognize that the traveler can't foresee state law changes and that charging people for a car they never used is both immoral, bad business practice and pisses people off. I will never use Priceline or Thrifty again. And we travel all over the world.Reviewed Mar 6 2021
