Car was clean… but there were scratches,scrapes and dints that were not recorded when picking the car up! Nobody was there to record the damage to the car upon pickup or drop off, waiting to get scammed off car damage
I didn’t get the car, because there weren’t cars available and I had to cancelled my plans.

My CAA membership was not accepted to add an extra driver at no cost. It is supposed to be a benefit of membership. It has been four days now and there has been no contact from Hertz with my final bill. They owe me a deposit refund.

Did not have the full-sized Premium car I had ordered, and tried to convince me repeatedly that a Malibu was the same size and class as a Charger and would not offer me a discount when requested. Also took almost an hour to process - seemed quite disorganized and disconnected to customer service.

Once we found Avis within the Vancouver airport everything went smooth. The car was clean, ran well, and did what we needed it to do, get us from A to B. Drop off was easy as we were at the airport at 5am and there was no traffic or people.
It was fast service, front desk was friendly and very helpful. Vehicle was already ready and cleaned.

I never got a car. After booking on kayak I even called thrifty directly to give my credit card info. They assured me not needed and I could provide when I picked up my vehicle, which when I arrived, the local thrifty location had no reservation. Horrible experience and actually cost me money taking a cab Lol the way to that locale

Car available on time. Easy pick up and drop-off. Car was dirty on the exterior with several scratches. Had to remember to take pictures of the scratches at the beginning of the rental and then email them to the Thrifty at the drop off to ensure we weren't charged for the scratches.

It was ok if you don’t have any car issues, otherwise the call service is terrible to help you out. We had flat tire issue( tires are worn out) couple hours after we had the car and took few hours to get help. The call center is terrible, they can’t really help you other than give you the car rental place number (can’t reach anyone). We have to find the number ourselves.

Excellent experience, easy to pick up car and drop off.
The car rental place I picked my car up from took 20 minutes to see me, 15 minutes to process and it took 25 minutes for my car to o be ready. Total time to get my car was 1 hour. Nice staff but extremely inefficient. Why not have the card ready when clients come in.

I was very upset with the rental agency. My husband went to go pick-up the car. First it was the wrong place. So they sent a car to pick him up and take him to the right place. Then upon arrival at the other location, they tell my husband that they need to first have him get in touch with ICBC to show his driving records before they can rent him the car? I have NEVER come across this once in all the car rentals I’ve had over the years. So after he proves to them that he’s a good driver, then they take a $1,000 deposit? We only had the vehicle for 5 days? Usually at other rental agencies the deposit has been no more than around $300-$500 max. So I think there was some issues there as well. We finally got the car. In all fairness the car itself was great. We got a Toyota Corolla. Very clean and it was great on the trip. Very comfortable and great on gas. The one thing I’ll say is this, they tried to make things better, but when you have a child and you’re ready to go and all you want is to get the car and get going, to have a delay for over an hour is not good. Things aren’t being done on the scale of a larger car rental agency and it’s very obvious. They need to be more organized and the fact that they don’t mention the ICBC check on their website makes me think they don’t want the customer to know about it, since it would result in going elsewhere On a scale of 1-10, the car itself was a 10 the experience was a 2 . I will take my business elsewhere next time.

The location is very convenient and I appreciated being able to leave the car in their parking lot to pick up after our dinner and show; it saved me the hassle of having to find a parking spot and paying for it. We were also given an upgrade from compact to an SUV. I’m indifferent about this upgrade as I purposely chose a compact size so it would be easier to park. However, I recognize that we were give a hybrid SUV with many features and the car was nice to drive. I’m sure drivers with better parking skills would appreciate this upgrade if they were given the option.
