Thrifty Car Rental Experience

Do not, I repeat, do not rent from Thrifty car rental. First of all, when we arrived at 9:00 AM, they were not open, as they said they would be. We sat outside for two hours until someone showed up. Second, we were given half a tank of gas, and returned the car with 1/4 tank, since we were running late and did not have time to wait at one of the two gas stations on the island. They charged us $50 for this, and were compete jerks about it. Stay away!!!

once we tried to rent from them and they were a$$holes with it. they wanted to charge me 35 for an insurance i was never told of. i said that wasn my fault cause they didnt told me and they told me they were going to charge my card even if i didnt rent the jeep.

i gave them a visa debit # in case of and i definetly save my pocket.

As for using your debit card, let me just say that that is a HORRIBLE idea. You should never use your debit card for expenses you could potentially wind up disputing. You dont have the same protections as you do using a credit card, and should fraud be involved, you have given access to your personal checking acocunt. Your actually $$ is sucked out of your account until you can proove otherwise. Bad, badddddd idea.

Look people, Thrifty may suck, but until a local operator updates their insurance policy, and will rent to someone under 25, who will be securing their rental with a major credit card, then well, Thrifty it is. Business is business folks. You don't take me, I go somewhere else. With options limited, I really can't be picky who I rent from.

I totally agree that Thrifty is terrible. They're not there, even when you call or email in advance about arrival time. I had a great experience with Carlos. He has new, clean vehicles, and the service is very professional. When both gas stations were completely out of fuel and we were faced with an empty tank for several days, Carlos gave us enough gas to get through our vacation without worry. I highly recommend him.
