NO HUBO VEHÍCULOS DE LA CATEGORÍA QUE RESERVE, TODOS ERAN ELECTRICOS Y TUVE QUE PAGAR EXTRA

The staff was indifferent and kept pushing other products. They made us sign without showing a written contract. The ETC charges were especially outrageous (rental fee of $4.33 and daily toll fee of $12.99, whereas the actual toll for Highway 59 was only $1.79). We didn't fully understand the explanation in English about the charges. If they had shown us a written contract beforehand, we wouldn't have rented their ETC. It felt intentional (having us sign first and then presenting the detailed charges).

Forced to buy insurance during a late-night rental.

We booked a specific model which was available, but they insisted it wasn't, so we ended up spending much more money.

I recommend choosing a big company. I picked this one just to drive a Chrysler 200c, but there were only three Kias available, and they didn't offer any upgrades. I was forced to drive this old car. Ridiculous.

Thrifty and Dollar at Houston IAH airport operate together. I was attended by a middle-aged woman, seemingly of Eastern European descent, at the Dollar counter. She insisted I buy full insurance, but I repeatedly said I wanted the basic insurance plan as per my reservation. She became unhappy and told her manager that I didn't have my passport, which led to the manager refusing to rent me a car. My passport was at my home in Houston, and I only had my driver's license with me at the airport. I forgot to bring my passport. Although my family sent a photo of my passport to my phone, they still wouldn't let me rent the car. They insisted I take a cab they contacted to go home and retrieve my passport, which would cost me $160. Left with no choice, I rented a car from another company, which did not require my passport, to go home and get it. By the time I returned to the airport with my passport, it was already 10 PM. I had to return the car by 5 PM on the 27th at the Houston Medical Center location because that's when they close. If I returned it after 5 PM, I would have to return it the next day and be charged an extra day's fee. So, although I rented the car for two weeks, I effectively used it for less than two weeks, losing 5 hours in total. This company hides behind various rules and regulations to inconvenience customers, but I want to report this to the rental platform. I hope the platform has the influence to complain about this company. My experience with their Houston locations was extremely poor.
