Pick up and drop off was super fast and efficient. The team at the westend were helpful. I would say the value for the rental was overpriced. I did need a rental due to my car breaking down just to get me and my family around the city and it cost a little over $1000 for a week and just 397 kilometres driven total for a car. That makes it around $2.52/kilometre. This was the main reason why I didn’t extend my rental and I sought out other solutions.

The customer service of HEFTZ company in Saskatoon told me that I will be charged $35/day for extending my car for two days. But they charged me for $835 for 2 days, which is like I am facing a fraud company. I am super disappointed with the mis-guidance of the company's agent (a lady). And when I noticed, I dropped the car and I explained the agent there, but he did not care at all. He finally said I will evaluate and will call you back at 4 PM to force me to leave. And he never called me and did not pick up the phone. He actually ditched me.

The price doubled when I did the pickup of the vehicle and this is clearly due an unclear and intentioned hidding cost policy of Kayak. I will never book nothing else using Kayak. You cheat, you lie, you’re not true.

Agent at pickup counter was not overly friendly and changed the type of car I had reserved. Secondly, they (Hertz), would not allow me to change pick up locations to make it more convenient for me, costing me an Uber ride. Lastly, they overcharged me and I'm still waiting for them to correct the error.

I paid for a full to full vehicle. I was told at the desk they don’t offer this service and we needed to just return the car empty how we found It.

Nothing. We need a vehicle that the passenger seats folded into the floor like a dodge caravan. We booke dodge caravan but the substituted Kia Carnival which did not meet our needs. They also refused to accept the insurance purchased through your site. Please make your customers aware of these failures.

This experience is enough for me to remember to never use thrifty again. First of all, my pickup time was listed as 4pm. We got held up at customs so I called the pickup office at 4:03 to let them know we would be there very soon but there was no answer. Called multiple times and could not get ahold of someone. As we were about to get into a taxi to go to their location I see somewhere that their listed closing time is 4pm. So we get out of the taxi and I call customer service to verify before I haul myself and my family out to their office. I spoke to a customer service rep who them put me on hold for 20 minutes!!!! When they returned to the line it was a completely different representative who I had to repeat everything to. She began checking for other rental options but was unable to find anything. She did tell me my rental was available for 24 hours so we could go there when they opened at 7am. Only problem is that we had not planned to stay in town! We had planned to drive 4 hours to our hotel, so we were left trying to rearrange our plans as well as paying for a hotel room. The following morning I took an Uber to the pickup location and told them about not being able to pickup our vehicle yesterday because our pickup time was their closing time. The rep says, “oh I was here until 5pm”. Ok, that’s great, why didn’t you pickup the phone then?!? Whatever, I got the vehicle and right away noticed an OVERWHELMING soap smell. Like it smelled like they had grated an entire bar or zest in the car. I took the car and figured I just needed to air it out. So the more time passed we realized that they had been trying to cover up the smell of smoke. So the soapy smell went away and for the whole rest of our trip the car reeked of smoke. We had a Kia forte which we thought was kind of noisy, maybe it’s just the car I don’t know but gas efficiency seemed to be really good. That’s everything. I will be writing to thrifty customer service to see if they’ll credit me a day of car rental as well as losing my one night at the hotel we paid for. I’ll update on the results here.

So wait in line was horrible. I was given a Toyota Corolla, which that would have been OK but the whole front windshield had a crack from one end of the windshield to the other. There were also a lot of pits and holes in the front windshield. I should have returned the car When I saw the windshield. I should’ve never driven it out of the lot, but I was so exhausted from standing in line. I just wanted to get out of the airport.

The service was great. The only thing is that the car they had for us had a long crack across the windshield. I refused the car and they provided us a SUV instead which was the only other car they had at that moment and we had to pay 70$ more for the week. The rest were perfect.
