Staff was friendy and helpful. Car was clean. Location of agency inconvenient. NOT AT AIRPORT as advertised.

Thrifty was not located where advertised. Advertised that it was at the airport, NOT TRUE. Agency is located about 1 mile away from airport. I had to get a ride to pick up carand was dropped off at airport where agency was supposed to be and isn't. Had to wait till manager could come and pick me up. Very inconvenient.

Rental was for a commercial van and it was a bait and switch situation - instead of the van the only available vehicle was a Penske box truck. Vehicle had more than 100,000 miles, reeked of smoke and felt dangerous to drive.

It was a nightmare. I booked a car for Hyannis MA and they booked me one in Nantucket. Trying to cancel on line did not work and it took many frustrating phone calls to finally get it cancelled and our money refunded. Fortunately our friends were able to pick us up in Hyannis so the lack of a car there wasn’t as bad as it might have been. I have no idea why they booked a car on Nantucket, Priceline could see I had plane reservations to Hyannis.

Hertz gave me a car that had a slow leak in one tire. It also lacked caps on the valves. When i returned it after two days the young man (not the boss) told me I MUST DRIVE IT ACROSS THE ISLAND, LEAVE IT WITH A REPAIR/GAS STATION --OVERNIGHT--AND PICK IT UP MYSELF NEXT DAY! Even though I had no other transportation. Unbelievable!!. I refused, eventually the boss showed up, and they gave me a much older car (30,000 miles plus), but only after the young woman--a cleaner--hearing the argument, said she knew of another car, which was ready. That second car, though a standard, not the economy size I had ordered, worked well for three weeks. The young woman should have been behind the counter, not the male youth who talked a lot but had an empty head and no perception of my problem or his real j0b. Misogyny?

I searched for a car rental pickup in Hyannis, MA. The search setting apparently also included rentals in Nantucket. So when I arrived to pick up the car, the car was not available in Hyannis. When I inquired, I learned my car rental pickup had been booked for Nantucket, a location I could not even get to without taking a ferry. Furthermore, my drop-off location was in NJ. So the notion that I was allowed to pickup a car on an island to be dropped off in NJ is absurd. This type of booking should not be allowed to even take place. Who would ever rent a car in Nantucket, pay to put a rental car on a ferry, then drop it off on the mainland. You need to put in booking restrictions against this type of reservation, so this does not occur in the future.

When I got there, the man said they had no cars and he couldn’t honor my reservation.

Nothing

The staff at the pickup were extremely unprofessional, the main Hertz customer service was the worst I have ever experienced, and the dropoff location had been closed several months ago.
