    Does anyone pre-book a rental car only to show up at the location to be told they don't have any…read morecars, and they didn't honor their reservation? Because that's exactly what happened to me with Thrifty Car Rental at the San Antonio airport. I had a confirmed reservation (Confirmation #L4161609690) for a mid-grade vehicle, guaranteed with my credit card. In the days leading up to my trip, I received multiple emails and text messages from Thrifty assuring me that even if my flight was delayed, my car would be held because the reservation was guaranteed. Fast forward to Thanksgiving Day. I arrive at the rental counter after my flight, only to be told they had no cars available. No apology. No solution. No alternative. Just "we don't have anything" and essentially, you're out of luck--on a holiday, at an airport, after midnight. Both the customer service agent and the manager on duty were rude, dismissive, and completely uninterested in helping. Their explanation? That the system sends out "blanket texts" and emails. Apparently, those messages don't mean anything--even though it's the same computer system they were actively using to tell me I had no car. So let me get this straight: Thrifty's system is reliable enough to send repeated messages promising my car would be available Reliable enough to take and "guarantee" my reservation with my credit card Reliable enough that if I hadn't shown up, I'm certain my card would've been charged But somehow not reliable enough to actually honor a confirmed, guaranteed reservation? That's not a "computer issue." That's a business failure. Thankfully, Budget Rental actually came through and had a vehicle available when Thrifty did not--on Thanksgiving Day, no less. Budget saved my trip. Thrifty nearly ruined it. The entire purpose of pre-booking and guaranteeing a rental with a credit card is peace of mind. Thrifty offers none. What they offer instead is false reassurance, poor customer service, and zero accountability when they fail to deliver. If you're traveling for a holiday, a special event, or frankly any trip where you actually need a car, do yourself a favor and do not book with Thrifty. A "guaranteed" reservation with them clearly means nothing. Thrifty owes me more than an apology--they owe me a free mid-grade rental at any of their locations to make up for the stress, inconvenience, and complete failure to honor a confirmed reservation. Until then, I'll be actively discouraging anyone I know from ever booking with them.

    This by far was the best and easiest experience I ever had renting a car. Dollar's easy credit card…read moreor debit payment made it super easy. Not everyone has a credit card or enough available credit on one or may not want to get in further debt. So Dollar accepting debit cards is a huge plus and the main reason I rented besides best price for a four day rental. From the front desk to actually getting our truck was very pleasant, easy and smooth. We got a brand new truck and that was another plus. The truck was freshly washed and brought to us. It was a super easy return and no additional fees were added. We paid exactly what we were quoted and were not pushed to buy any additional insurance , which was refreshing.Thank you Dollar for your commitment to great customer service and putting the customer first and before profit. I truly appreciate you. I highly recommend Dollar and will always look to them first to rent a car. Signed: Extremely Happy Customer

    I was helped by Greg at the front desk so well that I was compelled to write this review right here…read morein the airport in San Antonio. Talk about professionalism, genuine person, ability, and a concern for my best interest interests. Greg knocked it out of the park. My reservation was ready just as I had ordered it and things went by effortlessly the best experience I've had here since the last time I dealt with Greg at the same counter. Dollar really went above and beyond with this guy and the quality of the car for the price that it cost. For transparency I did get the insurance because I'd rather pay a little bit in a worse case scenario than a large deductible. For me it's more like a peace of mind. The car was super clean and practically brand new. The whole process was seamless, nary an inconvenience. I always rent from them and it was high time to leave a review for consistently good performances.

    I've been renting cars from Hertz since 1967…read more I rented a large vehicle since we needed room for luggage. The vehicle was fantastic and we had no problems whatsoever with it When I picked up the vehicle in Philadelphia, the attendant asked me for my work ID And she said that I needed to have it in order to get the discount that was on my paperwork. No one has ever asked me for my work ID in the past I don't carry my work ID with me, and I felt a little uncomfortable with her attitude concerning that. Otherwise, the remainder of employees that I dealt with were very friendly and helpful.

    In feb 2026, i had made a reservation paid most of it upfront, showed up to get my vehicle before…read moreclosing time only to find the door locked and no one would answer for over 30 minutes. when someone finally answered the door they said there were no vehicles. I set the reservation 1 1/2 months earlier and then the employee said you need to go to the airport to deal with it. I tried pleading and asking for an explanation only to be told he couldn't do anything for me. I was supposed to leave at 5am on vacation with my wife and found it extremely unprofessional and rude. I get to the airport to find the reservation don't transfer. Long story short I ended up spending double what my original reservation. 8 or 9 calls to customer service only to be hung up on, put on hold for 20 minutes or more, told everything would be fixed or resolved, i even went back to talk to the manager and can't get a phone call back. the same agent was at the location and proceeded to tell me the vehicles are handed out first come first server... I have been renting from this place for over 10 years and never had this happen. When I said i wouldn't come back to that site again I was told ok...... like customer service means nothing nor does my business. To top it off i am a gold member so that meant nothing. Hertz has gone down hill from years past, I guess i need find a new company... so sad....
