Upon arrival, Thrifty Car Rental did not have a car available! We were left without any choice but to rent a vehicle from Budget Car Rental at 3x the price. Will never use Thrifty or Kayak again!!Reviewed 2023 Apr 15

I had to wait almost 1 hour for my vehicle, offered a lower class vehicle for the same rate, cost to insure the vehicle is very high and I had to search for the manager because the employee would not call him. The good news is that the manager comp me for some of the rental fees.Reviewed 2023 Apr 08

I arrived to pick up my rental (reaerved weeks before at SNA airport for 10:00am), and no one was at the rental booth. There was a sogn saying to go to Dollar. I went to Dollar and was told there were no cars, and there would be none for 3 hours. I asked what I could do and was told to go to Avis. I did and had to pay twice as much as negotiated with Thrifty. Horrible!!!Reviewed 2023 Jan 25

We were told it was going to be a 3 hour wait for our car when we showed up at our reservation time. We didn’t get a car and had to go to another company. I will be disputing the charge if I don’t hear back soon.Reviewed 2023 Jan 02
