Reserved a small 34$/day car from pickup in downtown Cleveland. Had to Uber there to have them tell me all they had were Escalades for 150$/day. Then I had to Uber home with no time to go to another location to pick up a different car. Waste of time, terrible service once I got to the location. Will never go through Hertz.

when I picked up the Tesla, it only had 150 miles on it when we signed up for it it said it could go up to 280. I was planning on going to see the art exhibit which was an hour away, and the creation museum. when I returned the car, they didn’t really give me instructions. They said it was due the next day but the ticket I had said it was due back at 7 PM. There were not a lot of charging stations either. I wish it would’ve been fully charged when I left. Made the trip a little bit more stressful trying to figure out where I could charge it and get it back in time.

The pickup was slow, took awhile because there was only 1 computer working and very confusing. The agent actually took a call during my pick up! I also had to go through the reservation process even though I prepaid. Drop off was really easy!

The check in for this rental was abysmal. Disinterested workers, long line. Took over an hour to get our car. The two girls working the desk were the worst two employees I have ever experienced. They reflect poorly on the management of Budget in the Cleveland Hopkins operation.

They gave me a car with issues and then when I went to exchange it and was told by customer service that a certain location had cars to exchange, it turned out they did not so I had to find another location, wasting half my day.

It was good experience and quick pick up and drop off. The only thing is the first car assign to us had flat tire but quickly switched it to a different one.

Very poor customer service. I reserved a pickup truck and was given a small SUV when there were many trucks in the lot. The staff member did not greet or communicate verbally with me during the interaction. More than a little off putting but I didn't complain. My reservation had been made months ahead of time so when I realized I had been given the wrong vehicle, I went back to the staff member who then gave me keys to one of the many trucks, though again, this was done without her saying a word. All I did was walk up and say 'hello' in a friendly manner. Not at all a good experience. I feel like if she saw my reservation and didn't want to give me a truck before I went out in the pouring rain to find an SUV, then she should have mentioned it?

I waited over an hour from the time I arrived until the vehicle was ready. When I got the vehicle it strongly smelled like cigarette smoke. That smell was there the entire time. Thankfully my son took detailed pictures of the vehicle when we picked it up. At drop off, they tried to claim that we were responsible for existing damage to the vehicle. We had the pictures to prove the damage was already there. Overall a bad experience.

I ordered a rental online with my bank card and paid as well online. Arrived at the airport to get the car and was told I cannot get the car I don’t qualify cause I didn’t have a major credit card. Thrifty didn’t want to refund my money just kept telling ME sorry you couldn’t get the car c we understand.
