Thrifty Car Rental

Thrifty Car Rental

Centre-Ville, Ville-Marie

I have recently rented a car from Montreal for delivery at Los Angeles Airport for the period July…read more21st to July 26th , I prepaid the rentals in advance from Montreal. I took delivery of the car as scheduled , on July 23rd 2024 my stay in LA changed and I wanted to return and drop the car at Burbank Airport which is 30 miles from LAX , a half an hour drive but it was more convenient for me since my flight was very early on Friday July 26th. To my surprise, when I drove it to the return office at Burbank Airport I was advised that not only I will not be refunded for the days I am returning the days before schedule but I need to pay drop off fee of $ 300.00 plus penalty and taxes , approx $ 460.00 . Obviously I objected and try to contest but was told by the manager of the facility at Burbank that this what the computer is telling them to charge my card. I took the car back to the hotel and I called the +800 number and after waiting 55 mns listening to music , I was told the same thing. I find this to be close to extorsion and steeling, robbing of clients and need to be reported .

Ok, time to amend this review. Some things certainly stand: good cars, good location, friendly…read morestaff, good rates. Yes. But there's been something going haywire at Thrifty recently, and it's left a sour taste in my mouth. They've been understaffed consistently, sometimes the overworked staff is late (sucks if you have an 8am reservation and somewhere to be, doesn't it?), and they're constantly running back and forth between the garage and the rental desk, leaving the customers hanging. Most recently, I went in for a rental and noticed an extra $75 "pre-paid gas" charge on my total. I was told, "Thrifty is having a promotion, where the gas rate is really cheap. You don't have to fill up your tank, and you'll get $1.29/liter." The guy (Robin) didn't explain further than that, although I was skeptical and wanted more explanation. He answered, "Listen, I've got 50 more people coming in today. If they're all as worried as you it's going to take forever." Um, yes. Sorry, but you'll probably have to deal with 50 more people who smell a rat. That's what you get for automatically switching people's contracts without giving them a chance to decline. After signing the contract, I had second thoughts and wanted him to change it, but he'd already dashed off to the basement garage to read the odometer and gas gauge on someone else's car, and I was eager to get going on my trip, so I left. Turns out (as I sort of suspected), this gas deal only works if you bring your tank back on fumes, as they'll charge you for the whole tank if it's not full. So, I got the pleasure of running back out in the morning rainy rush hour to top up my tank before the car was late. Pffft. (BTW, there's an ESSO at St. Laurent and Sherbrooke, another at Papineau/Ontario, and a few other gas stations at Maisonneuve Est near Jacques-Cartier, if you find yourself downtown and need to tank up.) Dude, next time I say I want to decline the fuel option, you take the contract and you fix it to reflect the options I have requested, not what you think I might like. Doing otherwise is totes sketch. I'll still come here for cheap cars, but with less enthusiasm than before, for sure.

We cannot say enough good about this location. In particular Jad D. and Issam L. were superstars…read more We had a very difficult situation and they did everything they could to make it better. We are extremely grateful. They treated us like gold. There's no need to go to any other rental company.

I recently had a very disappointing experience with Enterprise Rent-A-Car in Montreal (Outremont…read morelocation - 5403 Boul. St-Laurent). I rented a Toyota Camry in August 2025, booked through Costco, with a planned return later that day at the Ottawa Airport branch. During pickup, I did a detailed walkaround and pointed out several areas of concern. The staff member seemed rushed and repeatedly said that "any damage under an inch would not be considered." The issues I noted were acknowledged and marked as known damage at pickup. I drove the vehicle directly from Montreal to Ottawa (a 2-hour trip with no incidents), stopping only briefly for gas. When I returned the car at the Ottawa Airport location that afternoon, the representative confirmed that several damages were already listed as "known," but then pointed out two small dents -- one on the roof and another near the windshield frame -- that I had not noticed. I took photos immediately, as advised. Two weeks later, I received an invoice from Enterprise claiming I had damaged the right front fender -- something that was never mentioned at drop-off. This completely contradicts what was observed and recorded by their own staff at the time of return. Given the short rental period (6 hours), the direct route, and the inconsistent information provided, I believe this damage claim is unfair and possibly misattributed. I've rented from Enterprise many times before, but this experience has seriously shaken my confidence in how fairly they handle post-rental inspections and claims. I strongly urge others to take detailed photos and videos at pickup and drop-off -- even if staff seem dismissive -- to protect yourself from questionable charges.
