Reserved and prepaid for a car more than two weeks in advance the. Was told when I got there that they were out of cars. I waited for over an hour to get a car. When I went to the garage they had double booked that same car. Someone was already in my car. The attendant was able to get me a car but it was a Jeep Wrangler, not exactly the economy car with good gas mileage I had requested. First and last time with Payless. It wasn’t any cheaper than the big guys after they added their counter fee and other service fees to the bill.

Avis/Payless have two different offices/desks, on two different floors. The signs pointed to the wrong location. Also, I was given the wrong location for my rental car. I spent a lot more time and did a lot more walking around with luggage than I should have.

The vehicle was dirty. Why rent a car that isn’t cleaned? Brown crap all over the hood. Not sure if the interior was cleaned because of the perfume smell. There was only 7/8 of a tank of gas.

Staff was friendly and helpful

The car sounded horrible while driving. It made lots of noise and it would randomly decide not to drive after being stopped. For example, stopping at a stop sign. The car wouldn’t moved for about 10 seconds. The same goes for stopping at red lights.

When we got in there was one man working and he was asleep on the counter. He was so slow it took 45 minutes to get our car.

Mediocre|Jul 2022

There was a line of 100 people and only two employees working behind the counter at O'HARE location in Chicago ( meanwhile the other car rental companies next to them had 5 or 6 people working behind the counter) .. I waited in line 2 hours and 30 minutes and it was miserable because I already had a reservation at noon because I had to to to a wedding that day like 4 hours away .. A lots of nasty actitud from the people working for "thrifty" .. on top of that they FORCE me to pay an extra 30 dollars a day for my car rental otherwise I'll have to wait for an undisclosed amount of time because according to them they didn't have cars available. But after I paid the extra money the car was available . This was so disrespectful

The car itself was fine. I had to wait three hours past my reserved pick-up time for a car. This was a business trip with meetings scheduled which were greatly affected by this issue. It was clear I was not the only one.

Our flights were cancelled in Chicago and needed a rental for Cincinnati. We reserved a car, and showed up and they said they were out of cars and charged us an additional $100 for SUV. Felt like a bait and switch but had not other choice.

Needed to change my drop off Customer service agent was very helpful

More clear signage when I dropped off. I went inside which after waiting a half hour to be waited on bc they were very busy I found out I didn’t need t be inside I could’ve gotten help with someone outside Diane was extremely helpful and apologetic She was aware of everyone waiting and told customers in line they would be helped soon which is nice in this day and age that she acknowledged the customers waiting
