Road trip to Redstone in Western United States: Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Monum

Overall, Thrifty is relatively cheaper. It seems to be a subsidiary of Hertz. Most of the service staff are from India and may try to add extra services. I checked Thrifty's official website in advance and learned about the additional charges. In the end, I insisted they cancel the extra fees.

The car model did not match the one booked.

Queue time was about 5-7 minutes.

The counter automatically added roadside assistance. Fortunately, there was no language barrier, so I negotiated and it was waived. There were no cars available for the model I reserved, and after waiting half a day, a car came but was reported faulty at the door and needed repairs. A European couple went to negotiate, and they were upgraded without any argument. However, when I went to negotiate, seeing that we were Chinese, they asked us to continue waiting. It took over an hour of back and forth. When I wanted to extend the rental period at the counter, they impatiently told me to call. The additional day was calculated at the full, non-discounted rate, which wasn't cheaper than Hertz. Overall, it didn’t feel very friendly. Additionally, they required a translated driver's license, while Hertz doesn't.

It was quite irritating to wait for bus taking you to rental company and back to airport. The bus frequency with comparison with other companies was very very rare.
