MSY is the worst for Car Rental pick up

There was a lot of upselling during the car rental process.

The booked vehicle did not match the actual vehicle.

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.

The overall service is average, they push too many additional services!

I have rented cars from Thrifty through Easyrentcars.com twice this year: on both occasions I purchased the Super Insurance Package when making my booking online. When collecting my car on both occasion, the counter staff attempted to sell me LDW Additional insurance. When I explained that I had already purchased additional insurance and that LDW insurance was included in my total rate, they became very persistent in their efforts to convince me that I was underinsured and that I needed to purchase more insurance. On the first occasion the Thrifty representative became quite rude when I continued to refuse to be persuaded to buy insurance that i had already purchased. On the second occasion the Thrifty representative spent a considerable amount of time telling me that I did not understand the situation and that I would be breaking the law by driving the vehicle without first purchasing insurance from him: he kept me waiting at the desk to collect my car for almost 45 minutes although I had all the required documents including proof of all the insurances I had purchased. On both occasions i found the manner of the counter staff rude and intimidating, leaving me a very negative perception of the Thrifty Car Rental experience.
