Car was great, clean and super comfortable. The price I got online was 139$ and when I got there they told me to pay 240$ that was the only issue, other than that staff was friendly and customer service is on point. When I dropped off the car, a guy name osama I believe checked the car and he was very friendly and nice guy, thank you

To be able to pick up the car in Ottawa and drop it off in Grimsby was fanatasgic, i was able to brinbg back my new motorhome.
Pick up was faultless - easy to find at terminal 3 Toronto, and also return was easy to find, park and hand over car. Reported a few issues with the car to ensure the next person didn't have same problems - basically wiper needed renewing and service!, otherwise all good! Staff were helpful and curtious.. 10 out of 10!

I liked the service and staff. Keith went above and beyond for me. I have booked again. thanks
The drop off was great! The pick up was terrible. The employee at the counter was complaining about Immigrants and liberals. First, he himself is an immigrant ( maybe from India?) who said HE came to Canada at college age ( somehow he is entitled) and now that he is in, he wants to pull the ladder for anyone else to come to Canada. I guess the fact that I am a blonde, fair skinned person made him think I am a racist. Completely turned me off. What a hypocrite. I guess the irony went over his head.

My security deposit was not returned to me on time, even the staff said that after doing the return inspection they will transfer my money back but after 3 days I had to call and then they did the refund process. This made my card blocked for additional week for no reason.
I had a little misunderstanding with refilling the gas but it was sorted out easily and I had a great experience with the National employees! Thank you so much

Good pick up and drop off. Would have liked an unlimited mileage option
I booked a dodge challenger but given a ford escape. The ford interior had not been vacuumed and had dirt and food debris in the console/gear shift. The exterior of the vehicle had not been washed and the windshield was covered with dead bugs. However, the drop-off at Toronto Pearson Airport was smooth and efficient

The frond desk employees were not a pleasure to deal with. The person who handled the pick-up was distracted and when I ask for clarification on something, he was arrogant and dismissive. When we had a problem during our trip, the employee who answered the phone showed no compassion or interest in our situation and did not handle the situation professionally. He even gave very unsound advice. I ended up contacting the manager who thankfully was very supportive, listened to our concerns and was overall exceptional in her customer service! Unfortunately, the front desk people are the first and last interactions that customers have. I will probably not rent with Thrifty again.

I paid for what they advertised as an Audi A4 or similar. I get to the airport and they said their equivalent is a Chrysler 300 or Dodge Charger. So basically it as a straight up lie. I’m sorry but an equivalent vehicle would’ve been a Mercedes or BMW. My car didn’t even have leather. What a joke. Never renting from this company again and will be writing a Google review to warn others as well.
