Awful pick up experience. Reserved car for pickup at 12pm, arrived at check in desk at 11:15am as I wanted to ensure I picked up the car on time. Waited in the queue for over an hour to be seen, whereupon I was told I would need to wait over an hour to get my car. All told, I left with the car at 3:30pm, three and a half hours after my scheduled pick up time!!! The car itself was fine but the pick up experience was horrendous and over booked. Avoid

They have an average 2-3 hour wait time to pick up a car you reserved. They charged us an extra driver fee even though we are married and they are not supposed to do that in California, then refused to reverse it. By far the worst rental experience I have ever had and I will never rent from them again.

I had the “manager’s special” but I didn’t know it involved an electric car. I told them I haven’t driven or recharged one before so they gave me an ICE (internal combustion engine … a gas powered car) and charged me $40/day extra! I was visiting a first cousin who was in a San Francisco hospital and recently diagnosed with cancer. Thank you Thrifty for punishing a lifelong gas engine driver who can’t afford and never driven a California-approved electric vehicle! Felt like they were, in effect, saying if you’re too old, stupid or incompetent to drive an electric car … you’ll be sorry you chose us … oy vey!

Kayak.com scammed me by presenting text and a picture of a internal combustion engine powered SUV while reserving me an electric vehicle based on the reservation code according to Thrifty. No one ever answered my calls. The chatbot's only response was to contact the company which then proceeded to charge me $198 for reserving then immediately returning the electric vehicle which wasn't even fully charged. I do not intend to ever use product or service again. Very very disappointed in your product, customer service and company. Never again and I will do my best to share this experience with anyone who cares to listen, read or learn about my terrible experience.
The line to pickup was very long, but I signed up for Avis preferred (a free signup) while in line and I got much faster service. The car was very nice and drop off was great.

I wanted to provide some feedback to Kayak because there may have been a misleading claim made on my rental. When I went online to do my booking originally, it very clearly stated on the KAYAK website that I would receive a "Mystery Car" at Avis but spelled out that it would be a "sedan that seats 4 people". When I got to the AVIS counter in SFO, they said that it was a mystery car so it was up to them to issue any four door car, so they gave me a pickup truck which was not very satisfactory. First of all, it was not a sedan and second, the trunk at the back was an open bed which made it awkward to travel with exposed luggage. I pleaded with the counter agent that the website specified a sedan with four doors and they asked for my reservation and apparently it just showed a 4 door vehicle and did not specify a sedan, like the KAYAK website did originally when I hit the confirm button on the reservation. I would like to know how this happened because the only reason I proceeded to make the reservation is because the website specified a "sedan with 4 doors" but when the booking partner who provided the deal sent me the confirmation, sedan did not appear to be listed. I really don't appreciate this as to me, it is false advertisement and misleading sales tactics. I could care less what sedan they gave me as long as it was a sedan. But they insisted, all they had was the pickup truck which did not make my vacation enjoyable at all. I reached out to the partner that made the booking with AVIS and they suggested it is likely KAYAK's issue in what they may have printed in the ad. Regardless, I was the one who was out in the end, as I had an uncomfortable ride and ended up paying at least the amount of gas.

the minivan was nice, but they were incredibly disorganized and inefficient on pickup. Drop-off was fine, but I will likely never choose one of their vehicles again because of the pickup experience.

I was told the only vehicle available was a large pick-up truck
Horrible experience, never been so rudely treated and lied to in all my years as a business traveler. Trying to force you to buy extra insurance under the premise that the car has NO insurance at all and they can not rent out a car w/o insurance. When I explained that according to the law, all rental car has basic insurance and that my Amex card will cover the CDW he became very rude and did everything he could to prevent us from renting the car. Asking for our passports, never under my 20+ years renting cars in the USA have we even been asked to show passports and then he demanded that we show him our international driver's licenses. Did not know that such a thing even existed anymore, it's just a translation. So we had to cancel the whole thing and take the long trip back to SFO airport Worst ever

During reservation, we had selected option for the car rental at the airport terminal and not offsite. After reaching to the airport we realized that the car rental was offsite. Moreover, we were not informed anywhere during reservation that they close at 12:30 am. We reached there at midnight and they were closed. We booked the car but we lost the money and had to book another from the airport from what was available from a different car company,

Friendly staff; Wait time reasonable. My only complaint is that I was “upgraded” to a larger car. I should have declined the offer but I was tired and wanted to get going. Would have much preferred a smaller car. My bad.

First thing said to me was "you're early". I was 50 minutes ahead of schedule due to a fast flight and faster-than-expected transit from gate to car agency. I overheard other representatives imposing penalties for dropping the car off (or picking up) earlier or later than the booked time. In the end, I managed to get what I needed, but I got the sense that part of the business model is "gotcha" fees imposed above and beyond. I would expect a fee if you keep the car longer than the agreed number of days, but imposing fees fro dropping off early?! Vehicle also was unable to connect to my phone via bluetooth or USB.
Not sure what happened, I was told I had to go to an off site location in San Francisco vs the airport location. Why would I do that as my return flight was hours before the off airport location would open. Canceled the reservation booked with a vendor at airport
