About Thrifty: 10.0 /10

Car was actually issued through HErtz so car was an upgrade which was good. However the contract i had was for unlimited mileage yet HErtz wrote it up as 200kms per day. HAd we gone over our limit we would have had to argue about this. Hertz were supposed to email us a copy of the rental agreement but never did.

“Good cars to rent but service could have been better.”

About Thrifty: 7.0 /10

Have difficulty connecting to the in-car GPS system. The staff at Thrifty were of no help as they said they did not know how to operate the system. There was no queue system at the pick-up (eg. queue number ticket). It was based on who the staff saw coming in. If they missed your entrance when they are busy attending to other customers, it was as good as not being in the queue. The company would have known how many pickups to expect, so they need to cater enough staff to manage the pickups instead of making customers wait. Drop off was a better experience as there was a staff on site to quickly access the car before sending us off us within 10 minutes.

Could not provide more help as QEEQ is 3rd party platform. Needed to know more about changing the drop off timing and venue but QEEQ could not provide any answers or advice. Just redirtected to Thrifty.
