Pick-up area was easy to find, and overall the staff I interacted with were professional and friendly.

The signage about which drop-off area to use was apparently incorrect, which made things confusing and tiring after my trip.

It would have been helpful to have the drop off procedures for when an attendant wasn't present explained during the pickup.

The employees on the phone...both times, at the desk, and at pick up and drop off. Very rude.

I had to cancel my rental based on not having a major credit card. I went with Avis whom was more accommodating. I will not be renting with Dollar in the future.

Customer service was outstanding both picking up the car and in returning. Will rent from dollar again.

The car was nice, although it smelled pretty weird.

The car cost more than advertised, by about $100, so it was almost double of what I expected. The insurance I bought online with the car (3rd party) I was told was useless, and they were known to not honor the purchase if something were to happen, so that's $30 I won't get back. All in all it was a lot of wasted money.

Nice car with all the options, comfortable ride.

Needed large vehicle to pickup clients. Car was dirty, inside and out. Had to spend my own money to clean the car so it was acceptable for picking up business professionals. Inside was not vacuumed, chip crumbs in the door handle, some sticky white substance on the dash and several seats and candy in the creases of the rear seat. Not acceptable condition for a car going out to a customer. Cars should be cleaned inside and out when they are returned before being checked out to a new customer. Cost me $20 that I shouldn't have had to spend! Also, the system was down when I returned the car, so I was told I would receive a receipt in email. Never received the receipt, called customer service to make sure the car was showing returned, but still haven't received the receipt.

I asked for a different car after the first car they brought me had a musty smell, so they brought me a new one.

I couldn't figure out how to move the back of the seat forward and since it was pouring rain outside I didn't want to get out of the car to get a closer look. When I reached my hand down by the side of the seat my fingers were covered in a greasy substance so I gave up after that. Having my seat back too far made my 3 hour trip from Dayton to Cleveland a bit uncomfortable. The car also had a weird blind spot on the side. There was also trash in the back seat. I was expecting more for a company like Enterprise.

The staff was terrible. As I was walking up to rent the vehicle they locked the door, looked at me, and left.

The customer service. I was treated much better at Alamo where I ended up having to rent from because I was not able to get my rental when I needed it from Thrifty.

Thrifty staff member was very pleasant and helpful. Vehicle was very clean and ready to go.

If you rental agencies would offer something besides those cheap Chrysler products. I realize they practically give them to you (how else could they get rid of them), but they are very uncomfortable and noisy. Luckily I only need a van once in a great while. And thankfully you have better quality vehicles to rent when I need a sedan or coupe.

You need to read the fine print. On site it says you can use a debt card to pay for your rental but with a $250 deposit. That's not true! I drove up to pick my rental car and they told me different. Major credit card only.

Staff were efficient and friendly (if not very helpful when trying to make changes).

I booked a compact car because I wanted a fuel-efficient compact car. What I GOT was an SUV. Wouldn't change my "upgrade" even though there were quite a few compact cars in the Avis lot.

The confirmation time was not accurate. The rental was not at the airport and we had to drive home and come back. First time in 30 years that we faced this.

Budget didn’t have anyone at the rental counter to assist me. I waited for ten minutes and no one showed up. I then went to the Alamo agent and they said that the budget person does not show up on a regular basis. So I cancelled my reservation with budget and booked with Alamo on the spot. Alamo was awesome.

Individual walk up selection of vehicles. Cleanliness. Reliability. Great gas mileage.
