1. When picking up the car, they added multiple insurance options without asking, almost doubling the rental fee. After I noticed, the staff member who processed it had already left, and other staff refused to change it, asking us to wait for half an hour until that person was back. 2. I booked a Corolla, but there was no car available when I picked up, so they randomly gave me a Hyundai hatchback, which was too small to fit all our luggage. I objected on the spot, and the staff said if I didn't want it, I’d have to wait over 45 minutes. In the end, I had to downgrade to a Nissan Sunny. It's always been an upgrade with other rentals, but this was the first time I got downgraded and threatened to wait if I didn't accept. 3. The car was also very old; the Sunny had already done 25000 miles, the highest mileage I've encountered in a rental.

I chose the full-to-full fuel policy, but the car wasn’t full when I picked it up. The shuttle bus is shared with Dollar, which resulted in a long wait. The bus was dirty, and the staff especially asked Chinese people for the return receipt, which felt racist and discriminatory. Although the price is competitive, I have to say that the overall experience with Thrifty is very poor.

We were charged twice. The order said paid in full but we were charged another $300 when returning the car.

The counter tries to upsell GPS and fuel, but everything else was fine.

Total cost was $94US but I saw a A$400+ charge on my credit card. No damage to car before or after and returned with a full tank. Looking for a credit in days to come, never advised that a holding amount would be taken.
