Pros:Agent at desk was friendlyCons: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.Reviewed 2020 Nov 16

Pros:The price and the vehicle was great.Cons: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.Reviewed 2020 Aug 20

Cons:Staff at pickup was not friendly. I was the only customer there and stood in line waiting for her to get off her cell phone. Texting. Young lady could not answer simple questions during registration. Vehicle was too small for what we needed. Gas mileage was horrible. Called while on the road and nobody picked up the phone. Overpriced for what was given. Will not use this complete again. Will not recommend.Reviewed 2020 Feb 13

Top tips for renting a car from Thrifty in Louisville

  • When booking a car through Thrifty car rentals in Louisville, it’s important to know beforehand that the minimum age to rent a car is 21, and you must have a valid driver’s license. However, if you are under the age of 25, you may incur a surcharge fee that will be added onto your bill, and you may also be limited on the type of car you can rent. If saving money is top of mind, make sure your driver is 25 or over, or you may be hit with unwanted extra fees.
  • You’ll want to keep in mind what driving is like in the city when booking a car through Thrifty car rentals in Louisville. Driving in Louisville is relatively easy, especially with a good GPS handy. The speed limit within the city is typically 35 mph. Traffic is also not quite as bad as other large metropolitan cities, but keep rush hour in mind, which is typically from 7:30 am to 9 am and 4 pm to 6 pm. Traffic will be at its worst during those times, so try to plan around them.
  • When thinking about the type of car to rent when booking a car through Thrifty car rentals in Louisville, note that the terrain is mostly flat, and is surrounded by hill country. Therefore, it’s very unlikely that you will need a car with four-wheel drive or a large vehicle (unless you have a lot of passengers and/or luggage). A compact or economy car should do just fine to get you where you need to go in the city, and will be much easier to park.
  • You’ll also want to have customer service contact information handy when booking a car through Thrifty car rentals in Louisville. The reservations number is toll free and is available 24 hours a day. If faced with a less urgent matter, you can also send an email and expect a response back from 8 am to 5 pm central time Monday through Friday. A friendly agent is sure to be available to help you no matter what your needs are.
