About Thrifty: 2.0 /10
I saw that online reviews for this company were not very high. When I arrived at the store, I was told that the Ford EDGE model I had booked was unavailable and that I had been upgraded to a Volvo CX40. At the time, I assumed this was a free upgrade (since in hotels and car rentals in China, if the original room type or vehicle you booked is unavailable, upgrades are generally free). After picking up the car in the parking lot, I realized that the Volvo CX40 was smaller than the original EDGE, and my luggage wouldn't fit. So, I carefully examined their receipt and fee details and discovered that the upgrade to the Volvo CX40 incurred an extra charge of $48 per day—almost double the original price. I returned to the counter and told them I wouldn't accept this arrangement, after which they switched me back to the Ford EDGE. This indicates that they must have had the EDGE available from the start but intentionally claimed it was unavailable to lure customers into upgrading with hidden charges. After returning to my home country, I discovered that, in addition to the amount I had already prepaid through the rental platform, they charged my credit card another $326. About $100 of this was for an insurance upgrade, which I accept, but the remaining $200+ was for unclear charges. I am currently disputing these with the company. This rental company has serious integrity issues, and I advise everyone to be cautious when choosing them.

They claimed there was a smoke smell in the car during return and wanted to charge me 400. They also promoted various insurance options at pickup. Do not book the cheapest option, go for the second tier instead.

The lady at the desk had a terrible attitude. She wouldn't answer my questions and behaved arrogantly the whole time. I asked to see the invoice before inserting my credit card, but she refused and rudely told me, 'If you want to rent a car, insert your credit card. If not, just leave.' Honestly, I was speechless. I told her it's perfectly reasonable to see the bill, and she just ignored me, leaving me standing there while she attended to several groups of other customers (Americans, Europeans, and South Americans) with a smile the entire time. I asked her again when I could see the invoice, and she continued to ignore me. I requested to speak with her manager. She seemed a little intimidated, went into the office, and then came back saying the manager would be there soon. After waiting over ten minutes without anyone showing up, I asked her colleague to call the manager. About five minutes later, the manager arrived with her. She instantly acted meek. She even tried to argue in front of the manager, but the manager told her to shut up and briefly explained the situation to me. She finally started processing my rental properly, albeit still muttering under her breath while doing so. I didn't let her get away with it, but I also decided not to engage further. In the end, her manager had already reprimanded her, so I let it go. In five minutes, the paperwork was done, and I took the keys and left.
