ソルトレークシティー—アーチ公園—布レス公園—馬の足湾アンテロープ谷-ジオン公園グランドキャニオン-ラスベガス

The rental process was smooth, no pressure to buy insurance! The car was relatively new, had no issues, and was fuel-efficient! The return process was also very quick.

No waiting in line

There were suggestions for upgrades and selling insurance, which was quite annoying. Since we didn't accept the upsell, we got a car with very basic features. The booking included fuel, but we were told it wasn't included when we got to the store. After a long negotiation, they finally agreed. The booking price was $383, but we were charged $390 at the store, claiming it was some sort of fee. Though the amount was small, it was never mentioned during booking, which was very frustrating. Please communicate this issue with Thrifty in detail; it is better to be clear during booking.

The front desk service was very average, no smiles throughout. I booked a Ford Explorer 7-seater SUV, but they said they didn't have the car I reserved and gave me a Hyundai of the same class and size. Although I wasn't happy, I accepted it since they didn't have the car I wanted. However, when I went to pick up the car, I found out it was a 5-seater with a small trunk, barely fitting our three suitcases. I insisted on changing the car and argued with the front desk, as it was clearly not the same size or class. After some discussion, they changed it to a 7-seater Dodge. Although it was still smaller than the Explorer, it could fit all our luggage, so I accepted it. I forgot to refuel the car before returning it and offered to pay for a tank of gas, but they charged me $140! They calculated the gas at $9.9 per gallon plus labor costs. This was extremely expensive, and they didn't mention such high fees when I picked up the car. But since it was my fault for forgetting to refuel, I let it go.

Waited about 90 mintes in line to get to SLC Thrifty agent. Completed all paperwork and had to wait an additional 40 minutes to be told the Suburban rented was not available- check engine light, with no other Suburbans available. Was offered two smaller SUVs to compensate for space, but only had one driver. Had to squeeze into a Chevy Tahoe - 6 passengers total plus luggage. 4 teens sat across the back for their tour of Grand Tenton and Yellowstone. I rented a Suburban due to combination of three rows and combined luggage space. Nothing compares to that vehicle platform.

Booking platform is easy with no issues.
