Poor|Nov 2021DO NOT TRUST PAYLESS!! They canceled our reservation the night before pick up and did not have a replacement for us! There was no one at the desk when we arrived at the airport! We were stuck trying to find a replacement and ended up paying twice the amount!!

Poor|Dec 2020Nothing
I needed to change the name on the reservation and no one was able to help me do it so I ended up having to cancel and then pay triple the amount that I was supposed to. I am appalled and very angry.

I had scheduled the car for noon, when I arrived at the rental counter at 12:15 they told me the car wouldn’t be ready for 20 minutes. I waited an hour before the car was finally ready at 1:15. When finally getting the car the worker asked if I wanted to pay for a sun pass unlimited pass and for gas. I declined both which he then continued to ask two more times until I felt like I couldn’t say no and agreed to both. I paid $12 for the sun pass when I only went through two tolls, and paid for a full tank of gas when I used less than half of a tank. When I finally got in the car it smelt very strongly of cigarettes. Disappointing and over priced experience overall.

Mediocre|Dec 2017Didn’t use them
They let us make a reservation for 7pm but we found out that they are only open until 6pm. Luckily we found this out before our day of travel. They offered for us to pick up our car at the airport for an additional $150. That seemed outrageous so we cancelled our reaervation

Mediocre|Aug 2017My fault.... went to the wrong airport location... they wouldn't accommodate my reservation and wouldn't help me get into an alternate car... walked to the next window which was National and they gave me everything I needed...including an upgraded car and a cheaper price right on the spot!

Poor|Aug 2017When I went to pick up the van, the first one was not clean. I had to wait for them to wash the outside. When they finally brought it to me, I opened the back door and inside was full of sand. I decided to take another van instead. When they brought it to me, there was garbage inside the vehicle. Obviously, it was not cleaned either.

Good|Oct 2018The Van Was New it only had 900 miles on it.
I was at the Airport and had to take a shuttle to the offsite location To pick up the van. When I arrived I had to wait Almost an hour to get the Van as it was at The Airport. It need a car wash and I was in a big hurry so this was a very Stressful hour to have to wait for the Van!! Overall my experience was a 4 star experience. The Van was clean, and did the Job of Haulling the family all over FLORIDA. The 10 dollar per day toll charges, We’re a bit uncalled for. I had to add the Toll pass on the Van and I am Sure I did not use more the two dollars leaving and Two dollars on the way back to the Airport! I had to pay 33 dollars to my rental for a 4 dollars in tolls. As if my $70 dollar per day rental wasn’t expensive enough.

Wonderful|Jul 2017I was very happy with my experience with Thrifty Car Rental. I will use them again. I had to grab a cab to get to the very close offsite location in Ft Lauderdale, but it may have been a quicker experience than dealing with the airport's onsite vendors. I have often had to take a bus around the airport and then waited in long lines to rent cars at the airport. Thrifty was minutes away, very quick and very pleasant to deal with.

Okay|Dec 2018Once the reservation was made, I was quickly able to get a vehicle with no issues. Drop off was also a breeze. Just park, get luggage, and leave keys in vehicle. Would love if they all did this!
I booked online and was able to choose a pickup time. When I arrived at the counter at the airport, I was advised that my reservation was at another Hertz location and they were closed so I wouldn't be able to get my vehicle. I inquired why the website would let me make a reservation at a location that would be closed and they didn't give me a good answer. I had to cancel that reservation and make a new one at the airport that ended up costing about $80 more. Lesson learned!

Wonderful|Jul 2018I usually rent from an off the airport company for economic reasons. When we got to the airport, we walked 5 minutes to the Hertz counter and they arranged for my rental to be picked up there (an extra $54.00 in airport taxes). We Figured taking an Uber back and forth was going to be similar. The rental process took some time because of the transfer. Picking up the car was a breeze (you select one from a pool). The vehicle was well maintained (smooth ride, everything working properly) even though it had over 30k miles. The agents (both at pickup and return)were very curteous and helpful.
The oil change was due during my rental time (I rented for 2 weeks).

Requested a car at the Ft Lauderdale airport. Learned my reservation was not at the airport when I got there. Hertz people were rude and blamed Kayak. Worse they would not help get to their other rental site off of the airport. I had to spend $30 on a cab ride there. Once I got there two of the four people behind the desk were sleeping in chairs while I had to wait an hour to check in. When I thought things were close, they messed up the paperwork and had to restart everything. The next thing I know the woman helping me walked away without and insight as to why. She was gone for 15 mins and the long line of people began wondering if she went to lunch. At this point their office was full of irate customers. When she finally returned, she gave me the keys to my car. Of course the car wouldn’t start and the staff blamed me. I found the woman again and she couldn’t start it either. She then realized she had given me the wrong keys. Once she found the keys I walked back to my car and did get it started. However, the language for the car systems had been changed to Spanish. I had to find this woman again to ask for help. She seemed annoyed again and told me to simply “change the language.” Easier said than done since I cannot read the screens at all. I had to wait another 5 mins while they found someone who could do this. Worse, the car gas light was on and the tank was empty. Now I had to go get gas while my family waited at the airport for me to pick them up. It took over two and a half hours to catch a cab, wait in line, deal with my car, find a gas station, get gas and drive back to the airport. No apology, no help, no sympathy for my terrible experience. By the way, my son is on crutches from a surgery so that poor kid was stuck sitting in an airport for that two and a half hours. I would like to say that this was the end. But it started all over as I returned the car. Another 30+ mins waiting in line, rude service and another $30 cab ride back to the airport. They office has a shuttle van to take people to their cruise ship, but they refused to take me to the airport. I NOW HATE KAYAK AND HERTZ. I AM DONE WITH BOTH. I CALLED BOTH COMPANIES AND PEOPLE REFUSED TO HELP ME. YOU BOTH LEFT MY SON IN EXTRA PAIN AND DIDN’T CARE. HOPE OTHERS NOW STAY AWAY TOO!

Poor|Oct 2022We believed that our pickup was at the airport but the location was 3 mles away. This would have been fine but they did not have a shuttle so we had to pay for a taxi to take us to the locaiton. When we got their we were infomed that they had no SUV's at all which is what we paid to rent. They only thing they had on their lot was 2 Mini Van's which is what they told us we had to take. Even though their were plenty of SUV's 3 miles up the road at their airport location the woman refused to have one brought for us. We did not like the minivan at all. It was more difficult to park and since space was limited where we spent the week it became a big problem. I placed my rental request weeks before my pickup. There was no excuse for them to not have the vehicle I paid to rent.

Mediocre|Feb 2023Extremely long line at the check-in counter. Well over an hour. Once getting to the counter they tell me my reservation was not for the Budget at the airport. Not sure how that happened since I chose the airport as my pickup location. At least they were able to correct it. It ended up costing more as well. At least the dropoff was quick and easy.

Fair|Dec 2017This rental did not go well. When I showed up, I was given a car with a flat tire. No big deal, they gave me a new car.
I noted the gas tank was at a quarter tank and came back in to tell the person who helped me. He said no worries, just bring it back how you got it. He did not make any notes. He did not mark my rental slip. When the car was returned, not only were they rude but they tried to extract money from me for not bringing it back with a full gas tank. I had a PICTURE of the dashboard with the gas gauge and they were still aggressive and rude. I had to threaten to deny any extra charges as fraud. Poor customer service.

Wonderful|Mar 2017Location was convenient - next to water taxi, near several hotels. Car was available to us 2 hours earlier than requested. Upgrade was offered, which we decided to take. Walk around the car and transaction was handled in short amount of time, there was no hard sell for additional cost items (the upgrade was offered, but not pushed), and we were on the road.
Finding the location was a bit of a challenge, but Hilton Hotel staff was quick to send us in the right direction and the challenge was well worth the convenience.

Poor|Jan 2017There was like; no car available. Wasted considerable time and Had to go to National.
I booked a car for Ft. Lauderdale airport. Got there no cars available. It was explained to me that reservation was for another location (& no cars available at airport). Considerable waste of time and expense.
