6.0 Okay
It was over an hour wait to get the car but the two attendants were working their hardest to get thru the line. Returning the car in Brindisi was crazy. The kid checking in the car was more worried about talking to his friends hanging around than trying to listen to me. I tried multiple times to tell him we had received a parking ticket but he ignored the comment and went talking back to his friends. Not sure what else to do.

I was on a late flight thus when arrived at Thrifty counter was near 9pm on Jun/3rd, 2025. Thrifty counter staffs were very efficient in helping all customers get their rental vehicle. The staff who assist me, Anthony, was exceptionally helpful in explaining my rental condition, fuel options, additional insurance, etc. This is one of the best experiences I enjoyed in car rental in the U.S..

The customer service was excellent, they went above and beyond. However, I was never told about the extra insurance coverage which is mandatory so had to pay at the desk

The wait time to pick up a reserved car is awful. Very disorganized - ended up cancelling reservation
D
4.0 Mediocre
The pick up line was absolutely horrible, we waited over 2 hours in line to get our car. Their process seems to be very inefficient compared to other rental agencies in the US and Europe. After a long flight the last thing you want to do is stand in line for 2 hours waiting for a rental car.

P
2.0 Poor
I booked this car for location and for price, both were convenient, but Thrifty cancelled my booking giving no explanation and not even notifying me about this, so I showed up to pick up the car and was told my booking wasn't there, having no other choice I had to rebook on the spot at a significantly higher price and with a different car rental because Thrifty online wouldn't let me book
A
2.0 Poor
Almost an hour to get the car after check in. No place to sit. Staff was rude. When car finally came it was dirty inside and out Stay away
