Singapore
Toyota Corolla
12/17/23

Pros: Agent was helpful and efficient. Although we booked the car from 8am to 5.30pm, the agent said we could return it at 8am the next day without extra charge.

Cons: The car was supposed to be picked up at 8am, only got it at 8.40am. The gate to the carpark closes at 5.30pm, so one needs to be back by then, or else, to return it the next morning.

New Zealand
Toyota Corolla
11/22/23

Pros: I rate Thrifty highly because of hassle free registration and car pick up. The car bond was set at only 100 dollars

Cons: None

Mazda CX-5
11/12/23

Pros: Very efficient and helpful

Cons: Nothing

Australia
Suzuki Swift
3/31/23

Pros: Fast and efficient

Cons: Just the window washer had no water in it

Australia
Mitsubishi ASX
4/7/21

Pros: Smiling face and understanding of contract

Australia
Toyota Yaris
3/2/21

Pros: The free upgrade!

Cons: We had to wait for a thorough inspection at the time of dropping the car. Generally it should be a contactless experience.
