    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    First: The car’s braking distance was too long, and I had an accident because of it. Furthermore, the follow-up service to the accident was not transparent. I detailed the accident process, but did not receive any update on the handling result, and 500 CAD was deducted from me. At pickup, the staff urged me to buy additional insurance, or else they required a 500 CAD pre-authorization. I chose the latter, and the staff seemed to know that the car had a higher probability of accidents. Additionally, other branches did not require the purchase of extra insurance.

    To be honest, the service from the Black staff was really average. We were the only customers, yet we had to wait for a long time with no apparent reason. The agent worked silently with a stern face, and when we asked a few questions, he seemed irritated. At the end, he tossed the car keys on the desk, mentioned where the car was parked and left. No one accompanied us to fetch the car, so we spent quite some time in the garage looking for it. It felt too casual.

    The car pickup is not at Terminal 3; you have to take the skytrain to Terminal 1. There was a minor scratch on the lower right front corner, so I took a photo. When returning the car, the staff exaggerated and said it would cost seven or eight hundred. They told me the amount would be deducted from my credit card. I informed them that my rental insurance covers all costs and asked them to discuss it with my rental company.

    This was the first stop of the trip, everything went smoothly. However, the rental on the 28th was very unpleasant! The agent couldn't understand my Chinese driver's license and insisted that the Valid Period: 2022.3 to indefinite meant it had expired. They refused to rent the car to me, almost causing me to sleep in the airport.
