Oct 2017
Cons:
When I arrived to pick up my car they said their system was down but they would sort it out manually. After waiting for 45 minutes I cancelled my reservation and rented a car next door at Europcar in 5 minutes.8.0 Very good

Feb 2017
Pros:
Nothing! I do NOT recommend!Cons:
Terrible conditions!!!! The car was really dirty in the inside, the left sound box was burst, so to turn on the radio was almost impossible. We got the economic spark! They didn't tell you the car before, otherwise I would never take it. There was a hole in the windshield and we got scared because we were in the road for a few day in Kruger park. The others car rental offer much better deal for the same price. I took a fews day later a Sandero for the same price at Europcar (amazing deal and company).4.4 Mediocre

Jan 2017
Pros:
Good location of pickup and drop off, however the car was extremely under maintained. It was missing boot and door trims, rattling parts, and old (34,000kms+). I will not be using thrifty ever again despite the slightly lower cost.Avis

Pros:
Friendly service but slow as it’s africa! Didn’t get the car I was expecting so had to upgrade half way through rental.6.8 Okay
Jun 2017
Cons:
After we told them no insurance they put it on the paper work then when we pointed it out he had to start the paperwork over again. Originally issued a car with no gas and smelled like cigarettes badly. Had to unpack our backs and go all the way back to the rental center. No apology. Just a silent reissue of keys. Drop off was chaotic. No return recipet was issued.4.4 Mediocre
Apr 2017
Pros:
The car was clean.Cons:
You will get charged unexplained fees that will double the quoted Kayak rate, including a "fuel service fee" that no one will disclose to you until it shows up on your receipt and credit card statement. I will not be renting with Avis again.10.0 Wonderful

Feb 2017
Pros:
It was a good car for the category I have selected.Cons:
The car had some noise in the wheels during the whole renting days, which I could not identify. I believe that if the car has gone through some check before being delivered, this slight problem could be fixed.Hertz

I enjoyed leaving and never rent anything with hettzCons:
When I removed the car the employee said that the car was new and had no defects, including the marking sheet showed no malfunctions. Arriving in the car we found several risks and breakdowns and took a picture, because the employee said that anything later was discounted. but at the time of returni8.4 Very good
Jul 2019
Pros:
The staff was friendly and the car was nice.Cons:
The wait was quite long getting the car. I was told it was easy to see the gas station at the airport upon the return but I didn’t. Someone from another rental helped me find it and actually rode with me. And they charged my credit card a $1300 deposit but haven’t credited it yet as promised.4.4 Mediocre

Jun 2021
Pros:
Nothing. They we're almost impossible to get a hold of, couldn't look up any information on their computers, told us they would email us multiple times and never did. 0/10 would never recommend to anyone.Cons:
We tried to change vehicle travel dates multiple times, it was well within our travel policy but they said we had to do it on Kayak, kayak said we had to do it with them, when we circled back to them they said they can only give us a partial refund, they they said we need to talk to their special refund customer service department. They never got back to us, we called again, they said they would be contacting us within 24 hours. They never contacted us, we called again and they said we had to wait to hear back from their special department which weeks later has still not contacted us. Honestly this company seems like way more of a scam then an actual rental company. Avoid at all costs and go to another more reputable rental company.8.0 Very good
