Very quick and easy pick up and drop off, which is exactly what I needed for this trip. Courteous and pleasant agents. At no extra cost, the issuing agent gave us a slightly bigger car in the same class as the one I’d ordered when he saw all our luggage!Reviewed 18 Sept 2026

I wanted to make an adjustment to my pick up time at Vancouver but as I had booked through an agent I could not get Thrifty recognise my booking either by phone or through the web portal. Very frustrating nit to be able to talk to a human and explain my situation.Reviewed 10 Sept 2024

I wouldn't say it was fantastic, hate it when they try to sell you extra insurance. When you already have it. Ordered a wildcard for 2 large cases they said I didn't. Hidden costs I proberly got charged for that I don't know of.Reviewed 2 Jun 2024
