Pros:The staff was very friendly. I rented a Jeep Wrangler and received a Honda CRV. I would not have mentioned it, but it was specific that it was a Wrangler to enjoy the environment on this vacation. Our flight was late, so they cancelled the Jeep and gave it to someone else after two hours. Nowhere does it say after two hours your car is cancelled ( I would’ve called if I knew this information). They did not call to confirm.Reviewed 2021 May 20

Pros:Nothing, 787.253.2525 is frustrating. “Your call will be answered in one minute” after one minute “your call will be answered in two minutes”, and it goes on for 30 minutes. After that the system hangs up. I called seven days before, nothing.Cons:Everything. I arrived 3 hrs. before, spoke to THE manager about phone issue and to make sure my unit (15 passenger van) was ready on time. I arrived HOURS later, unit had no gas. I waited ANOTHER 1/2hour for gas. Outright, total disregard for customer service from top management to bottomReviewed 2019 May 27

Top tips for renting a car from Thrifty in San Juan

  • When you book Thrifty car rentals in San Juan, you will find that there are a few different car models that are particularly convenient choices for the area. To take advantage of the Puerto Rican sunshine, you may want to select a convertible for your rental vehicle. If you plan on embarking on longer drives or a road trip during your time on the island, you can always opt for an SUV or a van instead. Those that will be primarily staying in the city center of San Juan will find that economy models can be handy, as they make it easy to park in tight spaces and to also maneuver throughout congested roads.
  • Those that choose to book Thrifty car rentals in San Juan can benefit from the company’s flexible cancellation policy. If you have opted to pay for your car rental directly at a branch upon pick-up, you can cancel or modify your reservation up until the day and time of your pick up without incurring a fee. If you have decided to pre-pay for your car rental, you can cancel or modify your reservation up to two days before you are scheduled to pick up your vehicle without having to pay a fee.
  • After you book Thrifty car rentals in San Juan for the first time, you can benefit from the company’s Blue Chip Rewards Points Program. This program is free to sign up for and allows customers to earn discounts on future rentals, as well as access to additional perks and benefits, such as being guaranteed to receive the best car available at no extra cost and skipping wait lines at counters when you go to pick up your vehicle.
  • In many of its branches, Thrifty has rolled out the option to have a remote drop off for your vehicle once your rental period is over. This is a convenient option for those that are in a rush, or for anyone that needs to drop off their car outside of a branch’s standard operating hours. The process is simple and typically consists of parking the car in a designated spot and putting the keys in a secure box.
