They refused to give my daughter a car when she got to the airport. I ended up having to drive over two hours to pick her up at almost midnight. This was after my daughter heard her talking to a manager and being told they’d have three extra cars. They tried to say the website should not have allowed us to rent and they’d be short but by that conversation, that was not true. It was ridiculous!Reviewed Nov 13 2026

The staff was very friendly, and the pickup and drop-off process was seamless. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the rental vehicle was very disappointing. It was clear that the car had not been properly cleaned after the previous renter. There was an unpleasant, sweaty, musty odor throughout the vehicle, footprints on the windows, and an overall lack of cleanliness. It appeared that the car had only been vacuumed rather than thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. Since we had a 4.5-hour drive ahead of us, I ended up purchasing Lysol wipes and cleaning the interior myself. I wanted to make sure that both my guests and I felt comfortable during the trip, which is something I shouldn’t have had to worry about when renting a vehicle. While I appreciated the friendly staff and smooth rental process, the condition of the vehicle really took away from the overall experience. I hope the company takes this feedback seriously and makes cleanliness a priority moving forward. Customers should be able to expect a clean, fresh, and well-maintained vehicle when picking up their rental.Reviewed Nov 12 2026

**Do not rent from this Thrifty location if your flight lands after 10:30pm. The risk of delay is very real, travel to the rental facility takes close to 30 minutes from the gate, and the Thrifty staff closes the desk (and everyone leaves) at 11:30pm! Will not rent from here again because this was not communicated to me, despite me sharing my flight arrival time/info.**Reviewed Nov 1 2026
