Long line at the pick up desk, and only one person working. About 20 minutes later, another person came, and it took her about 20 minutes to get situated and log in the system. Excuse was they have a new system and she had to reboot her computer. Then, she told be I had to pay for an upgrade to a Rogue, but that is what I had already reserved. She rechecked, and confirmed. Then, I had to pay an additional daily fee to add me as a driver. I explained when I made the reservation, it was paid by my husband's credit card, even though he cannot drive, he paid for it. The on line reservation would not allow me to change the primary driver to me, so didn't think it would be an issue. At DTW, suggest putting the sign for Dollar with the Hertz sign. We walked down to the Dollar sign, and was surprised to find out he needed to walk back to Hertz.

Windshield wiper blades were worn and torn. Had to drive in rainstorm and I had a very hard time seeing. Safety hazard. Paid for a full size car and was given a midsize car. We left there feeling ripped off. We have never complained about a rental car before because we were always happy with them. This time was very different. Susan Benson

We had a generally great experience but when we arrived, there was not a car in our category, though we were sent to the lot twice with assurances there was. It took us about half an hour to get a vehicle. The staff member on duty was very helpful and gave us an upgrade that we really enjoyed. She deserves a medal, but the system needs to run more smoothly.

Flight was late and called upon arrival for oickup to be notified thst company would be closed by the time I got bags and arrived… asked for options solutions only to be told nothing they could do and come back Monday. This was Saturday. Went ahead took a shuttle to rental area hopefully to maybe get another rental company. Hertz group on same counter as Dollar honored my reservation made with dollar and said they do this all the time. There were 3 other people there doing same thing and they took car of all of us and luckily they had a car for me too. Very poor customer service on dollars part and non of us will make the mistake again with dollar. A little training and maybe compassion might go along way cause it “ain’t all about the Dollar”

Horrible experience. They gave car with no battery & no curiosity to even serve us first as we return back due to bad car issuance. I dont recommend to any one for this kind of poor customer service & they gave a remote that has no buttons( Mazda SUV). Plus car has all kind of indicators & we are not sure if that car will complete the trip.

When I picked up my vehicle, the agent told me the parking space where my rental was located. However, I did not understand him, and had to return to the rental booth to ask again. It would have been helpful to have the parking space clearly marked on my paperwork. Overall, though, everything went smoothly.

Pick up was a disaster, long wait and much confusion between Avis, Budget and Payless. Car turned out to be an SUV that was backed up to a light post base so the rear door couldn’t be opened to put in luggage. Drop off was also a mess as there was no place to put the car and no directions to bus stop. I was directed into a spot which was partially blocked by a plastic post so I couldn’t get in straight. I also was not expecting to have $250 charged to my card when the rental was PREPAID!

The car windows would have benefited from a treatment of RainX...during a couple of rain storms the raindrops beaded up so much on the side windows and side mirrors that it was very difficult to see through them. I even stopped once to wipe them off, but they instantly beaded up again.

Lines were extremely long! I got there late due to flight being delayed twice! Lines were extremely long, I asked the Manager if he could help me expedite to get my car due to that because I was late for an event I flew in for. One event had ended and the other one had just started. He said no, it’s nothing I can do I’m sorry. So, I said “Excuse me everyone, my flit was delayed twice and I’ve missed one event and the other one just started, do you mind if I go next” Everyone politely said, yes please go ahead! The Manager was totally useless! The guy at the counter, who waited on me was extremely nice, efficient and fast!

The car looked and smelled like it rolled off an impound lot. Reeked of cigarette and pot, with a cheap floral air freshener to try to cover it. Filthy cloth seats, loose metal in the door, screeching brakes, and the mirror in the visor fell into my lap when I pulled the visor down. And all this for the bargain price of $60 per day.

We were charged an extra $31 for being 3 minutes late on the drop off. Seriously? Everything else was great, including all of the people we talked with. If Corporate policy instructs a $31 charge for being 3 minutes late, we will never rent from Enterprise again.

Rental car in Detroit had defective key fob. Progressively harder to start car. Couldn’t open doors with fob. When I got the car it only had about 3000 miles on it. Car itself was nice and new. Couldn’t understand why fob in a new car wouldn’t work. Finally traded car in Traverse City for a car and fob that worked. Was traveling in Northern Michigan and was worried that we would be stranded somewhere in the woods.

2019 Camry was a great car.

$13/day to add a spouse as a driver is ridiculous. Every other car rental company that I’ve used does this for free. Will not be using Thrifty in the future on this basis.

The rental car itself was ok.

Kayak booked my reservation 30 minutes away from the airport. When this was determined by the staff at Hertz Detroit airport, they were unwilling to help arrive at a solution. I had to leave the Hertz area and book through Thrifty/Dollar in order to obtain a rental car. Additionally, the area where I needed to work with the Hertz Detroit airport representative was in a closed in space, making me less comfortable during COVID.

Car was excellent -- clean and ready to go. Unnecessary stress at initial check-out, but returning the car was quick and easy.

Initial check-out was bad. Credit card reader didn't work, and rather than try another one (that particular card reader wasn't working), I was told to call the third party I had pre-paid for the rental (Kayak) and tell them I'd have to use a different card. Finally, I went to a different clerk further down the counter who simply ran my card on her card reader and it was fine. The whole encounter added another 15 minutes of unnecessary stress. I had also noticed the customer in front of me having a similar problem with the same clerk.

We had a delay because the vehicle we reserved wasn’t on site and ready at the appointed time. We had to wait a little over an hour past our pick up time. They were as accommodating as they could be considering the circumstances and they adjusted my rental cost fairly to compensate me for the inconvenience. Outside of that, the experience was perfect and the vehicle was great. I would definitely rent again.

I was refused a rental car because the ID reader was not up to date and did not recognize my driver’s license. It is a basic enhanced real ID from MN. Very disappointed and frustrated. I also waited at least 20 minutes for the manager to come “verify” that they couldn’t rent me a car. They didn’t even try to help me find a solution. What a waste of time. Shout out to Enterprise for finding me a rental!
