No shuttle from the airport to the enterprise location. Advertised as off airport location however did not state that a shuttle or ride was available. If I was disabled or unable to walk 2.5 miles in unknown location and conditions, I would of not purchased/reserved the vehicle. In this instance, I had a disabled traveler with me who was in a wheel chair. There is no side walks on the main highway as I found out while paying more for an Uber ride to an enterprise location. My disabled traveler remained at the airport due to a compact Uber car that was unable to store a wheelchair. First for me in my entire life where any rental car company says “its the only way to get to our location, its normal”. At least advertise the stipulation on your site. Its decieving and unethical.

I love the staff, but we had no idea that our car would need to be picked up in the downtown area. When you are unfamiliar with a city it would have been helpful to be advised it wasn’t in the airport pick. They did not provide any shuttle service to this location and outside of their control the taxi service would not pick us up at the location at the time we needed pickup. Luckily Uber was close, but this was a terrible disservice to the customer. The car was nice but not what we asked for either. We ended up spending double on gas than we originally thought we would. Not the greatest experience we have had.

We waited 90 minutes for a car. 90 minutes. The type we reserved wasn’t available so we were given a gas guzzler. We drove back to the airport the next day and got a different car - a beat-up Elantra with 47,000 miles on it. We were told it was “ready to go.” It was a blatant lie - it was filthy and spent the next hour cleaning the windows and vacuuming. Really lousy experience.

We picked up our vehicle rental at the downtown location in Kona and the overall experience was great. We were assisted by Melvin who was very friendly as well as informative during the completion of the paperwork process. He also gave us a list of his recommendations for beaches, restaurants, tours and sights to see in the Kona area which we found very helpful.

Wait for more than two hours to pick up the car ，inside the car has lots roaches ，while driving the roach climb out on the inside of the window ，the left over pizza in box leave in back seat of the car for coup of hour ，there already have three roaches inside the box eating the pizza ，never used this company again．

Cons: - We learned the hard way that Thrifty does not provide a shuttle to the pickup location we used, so this added ~$80 of taxi fares, a few hours of time, and a lot of stress to get to our vehicle and back to the airport. Given that they advertise having an airport shuttle, this feels unethical and should absolutely be disclosed. - The vehicle had a partial tank of gas and we would have been charged for the difference if we hadn't noticed this and brought it to the agents attention Pros: - The actual humans we interacted with were friendly and helpful and did their best to make a great experience for us.

I prescribed a pickup at Kona airport What I got was a downtown rental That was closed when I got to the airport office at 10:30 Airport Office manager refused to do the rental from there because "we have no cars" & suggested i) I try to find a cab at the airport to take me 25 mi north (est cost $80US), & ii) that in the morning I take a tax i (est cost, >$120 US) to downtown to see if the rental was still there. Absolutely brutal customer relations. She didn't care whether my wife & i lived or died. I was completely disgusted. Never been treated so badly by anyone, ever. Eventually the counter guy found me an old Dodge van for a day (cost $160 + tax etc) so at least I could take my wife to our destination. The van was filthy. I mean, filthy. And if my wife wanted to drive, sorry that will be $13/day Took the filthy van back next morning & went across the St. to Budget & got a car. Budget didn't say "we have no cars". Budget said: "if your wife wants to drive, go ahead. No charge." I will never ever under any circumstance sign up to rent a car from Thrifty. In fact, I will not use your service ever again because you completely mislead me by getting my rental from a place 20 miles from where I was. AWFUL.

I arrived and was told I had two prepaid reservations, one for Dollar, and a duplicate reservation for Thrifty. the rental agent also pressured me to purchase additional CDW and liability insurance directly through them even though I purchased it when I made the online reservation. The agent made it VERY difficult to decline the additional insurance. The line was extremely long to pick up the car and took over one hour standing in line. The car was also damaged when I checked it out. The trunk opening was unreasonably small and made the vehicle trunk unusable for putting a suitcase inside. Terrible experience with Dollar, not recommended.

Poor|Jun 2023

I waited 2.5 hours to get a car. Then after driving a mile away, the car died. It took an additional 1.5 hours to get a new vehicle, because they assigned me one that was also assigned to another group. Ultimately, they tried to make it right, but they seem severely short staffed. And from speaking to other customers who had the same experience, it didn’t appear like my situation was unique.

I was never told that the shuttle for Payless was a budget shuttle from the airport so I ended up walking the mile with my suitcases on the road to Payless. Nowhere does it say in an email or anything. When my car was driven up for me no one told me it was my car. I just sat there waiting. I finally went in and asked so I guess they don’t look over the car or even say this car is for you. Seems like poor customer service. The guy who helped me inside was nice. It was a poor experience to start. Otherwise it was fine and drop off was smooth.

The first car felt like it had been in an accident so I returned it . The second car was brand new but it smelled like marijauna but I wasn’t sure what the smell was until I found a bud leaf on the floor of the back seat . So I have mixed thoughts about this experience! But overall I know life happens and my needs was met

Our rental experience couldn't have been any easier or better. The shuttle driver (from baggage claim to the rental office) was outgoing and friendly. When we arrived at the rental office, the line was short, our rental agent was also friendly and very helpful, and we were offered a better car than we had reserved for no extra charge. Returning the car was just as easy.
