Thrifty: What It Does, Who It's For

Based on customer reviews, Thrifty works well for:

• Customers with flexible travel plans who can tolerate a chaotic rental experience — Some reviewers note Thrifty's locations are convenient, and a few had positive experiences with customer service

Reviewers report rental costs ranging from $150 to $400, with significant additional charges for optional coverage and services.

Our take: Based on the overwhelmingly negative customer feedback, Thrifty is not a recommended option for most small businesses. The high risk of hidden fees, deceptive upselling, and poor service quality outweigh any potential benefits of the company's convenient locations. Small business owners seeking a reliable, transparent car rental experience would be better served looking at alternative providers. However, Thrifty may be worth considering for customers with very flexible travel plans who can tolerate a more chaotic rental process.
