Pick up was great. Rico, who was helping me, was an absolute pleasure. However, driving off the lot was the worst experience. It took me close to 45 mins to leave. It was the slowest process to leave. Will never be renting a car from LAX again.Reviewed Oct 13 2024

Horrible, disorganized, chaotic scene when we arrived at the rental desk. Took almost three hours to get our car from the time we walked into the agency. I hope people read this and about in the future.Reviewed Oct 5 2024

Pick up was terrible, long waiting line very very long, online check line was offered and when I got at the very end, it didn’t work so I had to go see a staff a counter because the online don’t always work from what I understand from the staff and it happened the exact same thing to the family we were travelling with. At counter, they were trying to sell us all kind of coverage, insurance although we declined…. We lost about 20 mins just for that when it only took 10 mins to complet the rental. But drop off was pretty smooth.Reviewed Aug 11 2024

I waited in line for 3 and 1/2 hours to pick up the car I had reserved and paid for. No explanation as to why it took so long. No apology. Then when we got the car, it stunk of cigarettes and marijuana. Needless to say, I will definitely not be using Thrifty or Kayak ever again.Reviewed Aug 10 2024

I had a reservation with this bad reputation company, when I got to the counter the agent said he doesn’t have the car I requested, I should either pay extra money to get upgraded car or wait until they got a car, I asked how long I should wait he answered me “might takes hour” trying to enforce me pay them more.Reviewed Apr 23 2024

I love how fast the check-in was and check out was even faster. Park the car and leave it there as as that. The car given was great, came with all the current safety features and plug ins for charging electronics.Reviewed Mar 27 2024
