About Thrifty: 6.0 /10
The day after picking up the car, I was reminded to add engine oil. I contacted customer service and was told to go to a nearby Hertz branch to add oil. After driving over ten miles to find one Hertz branch, it turned out to be closed. The next day, Saturday, I drove another ten miles to a city branch marked on Google Maps, only to find it had been shut down. Then I drove another ten kilometers to another location, which had also been closed. Finally, after driving another ten kilometers, I found a Hertz branch that was actually open. After explaining the situation to the staff, they pulled up the vehicle information and confirmed that the oil indeed needed refilling. However, they couldn’t help me add the oil and suggested I return to the rental location to exchange the car. Luckily, I had only rented the car for four days, so I didn’t plan to drive to many places anyway. I decided to wait until the fourth day to return the car as scheduled due to the hassle of driving around just for the oil.

This experience was very frustrating! 1. I specifically requested the same model as last year, as I rented a Corolla from this company before. However, they insisted on giving me a Kia instead. 2. Last year, there were no upselling attempts, but this time they sneakily added a roadside assistance service during our conversation and charged me an extra $60+. I only noticed it because I got a notification from my credit card's WeChat service. When I told them I already bought full insurance, they said this service was unrelated to the insurance and that the charge was non-refundable since it had already been processed. Seriously... 3. The car they gave me kept showing a low tire pressure warning for the front left tire. I called someone to check, and they said it was only slightly lower than the other tires and that the warning would go away after driving. But throughout the entire six-day rental period, the alert never disappeared. While it wasn’t a slow leak—it was just 0.5 psi lower than the other tires—it made me constantly anxious during my trip. I travel to the U.S. 2-3 times a year and rent a car every time, but this was the worst experience I've had so far. I don’t think I’ll choose Thrifty again in the future.

1. The service attitude at Thrifty's Los Angeles branch is terrible, from the manager to the regular staff. They refuse to resolve the reimbursement issue for the oil change expense, have a bad attitude, and refuse to communicate, making the customer experience very poor! 2. The online customer service is unreliable. I called the rental company hotline in the US to file a complaint, and the customer service representative promised to email me within 1-2 days with a progress update or result. However, it has been a week, and I have not received any emails, not even an acknowledgment of my complaint! This makes me feel that the customer service did not report my complaint at all. 3. The internal communication of the rental company is extremely chaotic. After discovering an issue with the car, I called the roadside assistance hotline for a solution. The service personnel asked me to add oil immediately; otherwise, it would affect the vehicle's performance and could lead to an accident. After repeatedly confirming, the customer service assured me that I could get reimbursed when returning the car. I added the oil and covered the expenses. However, when I finally returned the car, the Los Angeles branch refused to reimburse me, stating, 'You should have bought the roadside assistance insurance, then you would have been able to replace the car for free.' This is extremely frustrating! This incident not only disrupted my schedule but also affected my travel mood, and in the end, they even withheld my reimbursement. It's absolutely intolerable!

I was misled into buying the full tank insurance, which is very disappointing... However, picking up and dropping off the car was convenient, and the car's condition was great.
