terrible customer service on trying to adjust to a new pickup spot. KAYAK and Smart Fare did not help by advertising a car from a location different than the Louisville airport where I was searching. But once misled, trying to adjust thru Hertz was nightmarish. The online gave me no option to rebook to the airport location. Customer service told me my Confirmation # was wrong then hung up on me. Trying to email only allowed 7-8 question choices about what my problem was; none of which applied. Cancelled (for $100) and went elsewhere. Will never book thru KAYAK, Smart Fare or Hertz again.

Agent at desk was friendly

I was assigned a car but it was not in it's location. I had to find an employee to find another car for me, which took about 15 minutes. The car I received was dirty and definitely wasn't cleaned beyond pre-covid standards. I'm not a germ freak, but greasy fingerprints on the screen and doors and a greasy feeling steering wheel are just nasty.

The price and the vehicle was great.

At pickup, the vehicle was not ready, and had to wait. The help desk seemed to not want to be working. There was no information given about the return of the vehicle. I had to ask about return from the man working the gate, but even that was not enough. At return, there was no one to close the transaction, Just a sign saying to leave the keys in the car. I had to work with customer service for the next two days to get the extra daily charges removed from my credit card account because no one at the drop off location closed the account. I'll not rent from Thrifty and associated companies again.

I made reservations for a compact car. When I get there to pick it up it was not returned yet. He offered me a suburban as a “free upgrade”. I’m driving 6 hours, so that actually not free. I’ll pay more than I had planned in gas. I decided to wait the 45 minutes for the car to be returned. I go back to Avis ready for my compact car, but now there an error that the car can’t be routed in the direction in going. I ended up with a small SUV. I still spent more gas than I wanted, but I had to take it because there were no other options. The guy who help me was nice.

At pickup, they would not let us add drivers without every driver having their own credit card. We’ve rented from several rental car companies over the past 8 years and have never needed all 3 listed drivers to have their own credit card, only the primary renter has needed a major credit card. When we asked to use a debit card and a deposit to add drivers, we were told “that’s not how we do things here” in a rude tone. Because of that, we had to make a 14 hour trip (one way) with only one driver, out of 3 capable adults. When we picked up the van, it wasn’t cleaned well. There was sand and dirt in the carpet all throughout the second and third rows, the cup holders in the center console had something sticky in them, and there were candy wrappers in the third row. I didn’t notice the sticky substance or the candy wrappers until later that evening, when we were packing up to leave, so I cleaned it and went on. The oil had also not been changed in the car. I kept getting “change oil soon” notifications. We will not be renting from National again. I was not impressed with the lack of cleanliness, their lack of proper maintenance their vehicles, or the rental policy on adding drivers.
