I had an 8:30 PM car pickup appointment. I stood in line from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM to sign the document, and then waited from 9:30 PM until 2:30 AM the next day to finally 'grab' a car. By 'grab', I mean I had to go to the parking lot myself to get it. There were no hot drinks available at the store, the staff was unfriendly, and customers either had to take an electric car or wait for someone else to return their car. The company also told me that I could cancel the contract if I wanted to. The Buick Encore I got had already driven 51,000 miles, and during the rental period, I had two tire punctures. This Thrifty car rental experience was terrible. I hope 'Zuzuche' can provide reasonable compensation for the above issues since I didn't get to the hotel until 3:15 AM the next day.

Just okay, they aggressively pushed insurance.

Not bad

Overall, it was satisfactory. We arrived in Los Angeles at night and had to wait a long time for the rental company's shuttle. When it finally arrived, it took us to the DOLLAR location. Turns out they are the same company, but this was not mentioned during booking. If you arrive at night, you can take the DOLLAR shuttle directly since Thrifty is closed at night. At the DOLLAR counter, even though we bought full insurance, the staff tried to add other insurances, claiming they were important, and urged us to buy fuel. This was quite uncomfortable. Also, when picking up the car, the model we booked was not available, and the staff insisted we take a different model. After much back and forth, we managed to get a Corolla. The car had scratches, so we had to confirm with the staff and take photos to document it. Fortunately, the vehicle had no issues during use, and the return process was smooth. So far, no traffic violation fines have been received.

They tried to upsell many items and automatically added full insurance, which took a lot of effort to remove. Later, without much explanation, they told us that the car rental did not include fuel costs and charged us for an extra tank of fuel, which we didn’t need.
