About Thrifty: 2.0 /10
When picking up the car, the staff tried to forcefully sell us insurance. They refused to give us the car unless we bought it. I called the rental company but the representative was unhelpful and just asked us to sign the form. Eventually, we had no choice but to agree to an increased price from $459 to $538 (originally over $700). They gave us a Mazda 5 instead of the mid-size SUV we booked. We were only given four cars to choose from. When I pointed out our booking, the staff casually indicated all four were small cars. I had to insist it was an SUV before they acknowledged the four available. Overall, it was an unpleasant experience. Avoid using THRIFTY at all costs. Their shuttle service is extremely infrequent; we waited 45 minutes for one to arrive.

Be cautious about Indian staff who try to upsell insurance and change vehicle models.

The car return process was fine, but the pickup experience was not good. They forced additional insurance sales and the car had insufficient space for luggage.

The car pickup was pretty relaxed, haha. We got to choose from several cars ourselves.

They are all scammers. After I paid through Zhuanzhuan Car, I was supposed to be able to pick up the car directly. When I arrived at the store, a black man gave me a paper and charged a $350 deposit. I wondered why I needed a deposit when I had already paid through Alipay. When returning the car, they deducted another hundred dollars, claiming there were extra charges on the paper for some medical expenses. Isn't that nonsense? I had already bought insurance from Zhuanzhuan Car. There were so many abbreviations; only God knows what they mean. They asked me to sign without any explanation. They are all scammers! Zhuanzhuan Car charged me 2381 RMB, and the car rental company charged me over 1000 RMB. I ended up spending over 3000 RMB to rent a compact Ford for ten days. If this isn't fraud, what is?
