Here they offer plenty of options regarding car type, rental length, price and company. Airport (ATL) is fast and simple, as the car rental center is on-site. Where was the car? Yet again, don't let people reserve cars that you don't have.The process of renting a car at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Intl. But, I would expect that the type of car that I RESERVED would be ready for me. I took what was available - a compact car, which at that point in time I did not care because we needed to get on the road for my Uncle's Funeral. I did not get the kind of rental car that I had requested (a small suv). This is a poor business model for one of the busiest airports in the world to have this kind of line for people travelling and needing to get from the airport to where they are headed. Don't make reservations for cars you don't have readily available. It seemed like there was a shortage of cars (people upstairs waiting for 2 hours to get their car). If it wasn't for her, we would not have made it. A Hertz associate upstairs took mercy on us and got us a car. We were coming in for our Uncle's funeral and had we waited in that line we would have missed the funeral. The line to get the car was over 30 people with 2 attendants working. I wouldn't recommend Thrifty nor rent from them again. I will NEVER rent from Thrifty/Dollar/Hertz again unless I get a refund AND a written apology, and I encourage you to rent from their competitors. 3.) Employ the slowest, rudest people who wear a 'don't give a damn' chip on public display make sure they spend time talking to each other or staring at their phones instead of doing their jobs. 2.) Make sure customers can't find your counters or reps, and make no effort to get your customers to the right place - Seriously, a hundred bucks at Kinko's would have resolved ALL this, but no one at Thrifty cares. How do you destroy a customer relationship in 3 easy steps? 1.) Don't communicate - it could have been easy to tell Thrifty customers about the changes at ATL, but no one could be bothered. Worst of all - It took longer to rent this car than it took to fly from our connection in Houston to Atlanta.

#Jackson airport car rental full#

Car was dirty, smelled like someone had smoked in it sometime before, and clearly had 3 or 4 gallons less than full despite what the gauge said - I would have rejected this car and complained, but we were already hours late for our arrival at our event. I then shoved my 160 lbs of camping gear to the proper lot and got our car, which showed full yet somehow after 15 miles showed that it had only a range of 250 miles on the first tank.

When I asked how I should know this, she shrugged and said 'I dunno.' When I asked why they didn't have a sign or lane for Blue Chip customers, she said that they could not put up a sign stating this, as it would make the other customers mad. 75 minutes later, got to the front of the line, where the bored employee told me that with my status, I should have just butted my way to the front. Found the Dollar counter that had 50 people waiting and 3 bored-looking employees. The only signs were those pointing to an empty lot. A helpful Sixt employee told us that Dollar, Thrifty, and Hertz are actually the same company and were sharing space in a completely different structure. After 30 minutes of shoving 160 lbs of camping gear around the Atlanta International Airport rental lots while following the Thrifty signs, we found only tumbleweeds and a dead coyote.

I'm a Thrifty Blue Chip Special Executive Deputy Vice Assistant Rewards Member, which pre-authorizes charges and lets me go to the Thrifty Lot and get my car directly.
