Quite satisfied

Overall, I'm quite satisfied. The car was in great condition, it was a new model X3 with strong power and quick acceleration (probably because the car is relatively light). The onboard GPS was very useful. Important to note: The counter staff will still offer additional paid items such as insurance and prepaid fuel. I had already purchased insurance when I rented the car, the likelihood of needing glass and tire insurance is low unless you are in an area with poor security (like an incident near my home where a car window was smashed and robbed). Generally, you don't need it, especially if you're staying in a hotel. Prepaid fuel is also unnecessary; many gas stations are cheap, and it's unlikely you will use up a full tank right when returning the car.

Thrifty's human-computer interaction machines are very user-friendly. If you have already booked a car, you can have a video call with the company representative directly on the machine. It’s as good as talking to a real person, and everything can be done in a few minutes without having to queue at the counter. It’s surprisingly advanced and convenient.

Thrifty didn’t have a hybrid car when I came for pick up. They offered a full size car. I don’t want to wait any longer due to long flight plus time zone difference. The receipt shows a few dollars more than the reservation. I am okay with it. The car is in good condition and very clean. However, when I returned the car, I got a receipt that charged double the reservation amount. The per day rate went up to $45 instead of $30 at reservation. I was in rush catching up the flight, that had no time to argue with Thrift. Very annoyed.
