Pearson Airport - Mississauga - Niagara Falls - Toronto - Mississauga - Pearson Airport

I booked the car for 7:00 PM. Due to an early flight arrival, I reached the company's counter at 5:50 PM, but the attendant insisted on processing my rental at 7 PM. At 6:55 PM, they still asked me to wait for 5 more minutes. After a 15-hour flight, I really wanted to get the car and rest. They had cars available, and I could have returned the car earlier if I picked it up earlier. This company is not good. In my previous rentals, I could always pick up the car as soon as there was availability. I will avoid this company in the future if possible.

I booked a car for 11 o'clock, but when I arrived, they said there were no cars available. The car I booked wasn't returned on time, so they had to reschedule. Fortunately, I got the car by 1 PM. There were no aggressive sales pitches as rumored. The return process was very simple and quick, everything was done within five minutes. Overall, it was a good experience.

I was truly disappointed that at time of drop off Thrifty refused to provide a local ride to my work (less than 3 km), even though it is indicated they provide pickup and drop off rides to their customers at their website. The staff simply indicated that they are busy and cannot provide rides at time of drop off! I had to hire a taxi for $15.. Also, instead of a pre authorization for a deposit, Thrifty had already charged me $350 for a deposit which I have not yet received back post 4 day.

Receiving my deposit within 1-2 months is totally not acceptable!

The car had 78000 km on the clock. There was a clear noise from the front when turned. I suspect the steering rack is worn. I would have expected a rental car not to have such issues. The counter staf were not aware of Platinum cover I had and tried to sell me additional cover.
