Pros: Car was nice
Cons: Rip off on insurance. Won’t recognize credit card coverage. Make you buy insurance for 25 euro/day and still doesn’t cover first 950 euros. Drop off personnel rude and find minor damage that did not really happen

Pros: Drop off was easy, but no shuttle service to anywhere even though train station was nearby.
Cons: I got a new credit card that paid car insurance for foreign rentals. The Thrifty rental center in Berlin wouldn't accept it without a written guarantee from the credit card company, which I didn't have of course. So I had to accept paying for the insurance, which was quite a lot.

Misled
Pros: Car was clean and new.
Cons: We booked a Thrifty economy car at Shoenefeld airport and was given a Hertz car of a smaller category, making it a squeeze for the back seat passengers, and with the total bill about double that of the quote. The only thing we added was the cost of taking to Czech Repulic. It was too late at night to argue. Very annoying.

Cons: I got a phone call the evening before, from someone who did not speak English, who told me that there are no cars available. My credit card was charged for the insurance nonetheless.

Thrifty forces you to buy insurance you don't need
Cons: Kayak needs to be clear that thrifty will not allow you to use your own insurance unless you have it in writing from you credit card company which of course no one does in an airport. Had to call back to Usa to credit card company and spend thirty minutes on phone to have them email document. Even then, Thrifty staff first try and get you to pay without telling you that you can get around it and also try to get you to pay for premium insurance without giving you the cheaper option

car was more than double of the costs announced by
Cons: I thought I got a good deal with 67 Euro for a three day rental. When I arrived at the rental station the employee told me that I have to buy extra insurance and pay extra for the winter tires - without either of it non american drivers are not able to get the car. Then she told me the costs will add up to 173 Euro for the three days - which means more than double of the costs that Kayak announced. Total rip off and ruined my holidays financially.
