I had a car rented for an 8:30am pickup and when I got there they said they wouldn’t have a ar for at least 2 hours. There were no cars to be had so I have to Uber to and from Rochester MN for $200+.

When I entered the vehicle it smelled like smoke. After driving it a bit we realized the smell was of marijuana. After driving to Florida with newly purchased air fresheners I started looking for the source. I found 2 sizable buds under the drivers side passenger seat along with a large amounts of loose leaves. Unfortunately this did not fix the issue. We had to drive back to Mn with that nasty smell. Very dissatisfied by my experience and am telling all who will listen. I will be expecting some or all of my money returned.

When I went to the Hertz counter at terminal 2 in Minneapolis at 9:pm on Saturday Jan, 7, 2023 they were closed. Me, my disabled wife in a wheelchair and three bags were informed that we needed to take a shuttle to terminal 1 to get the car. It was 8 degrees and we had come from South Florida, and were in shorts. What an outrage! We had to take a $120.00 cab to our location. The service was typical of what you can expect in Joe Biden's America.

We were originally told it would take 2 hours to get our truck; totally understandable since it was a holiday weekend. We waited 5 hours to then be told they didn’t have any trucks. Luckily we were given an SUV instead but the fact that they rented us a car they didn’t have was very frustrating and the waiting with no communication was awful.

I booked through Kayak for a substantially lower price than any other rental company (I usually go directly through Enterprise.) When I get there they have a price that is almost $200 more! I had to show my conformation email and a manager had to get involved! Then they charge you a $500 hold if you use your debit/bank card or $200 if it's a reg credit card on top of the rental amount. I have never had Enterprise do that! We got in a bit earlier than expected and they also want to charge $150 per extra hour of use. Over all it waa a pretty frustrating experience and hard lesson learned. I will never rent through Thrifty again!

Pick up was chaotic with several cars untenable due to smoke smell. No one to help with pickup which resulted in having to take a larger size car and being told on exit that it would be more expensive. Car we choose was also only 1/2 full w gas. Drop off was totally different. The desk staff was very helpful and made sure we were not up-charged or charged for gas we didn’t use. Good customer service.

Waited in line 90 minutes, then was told after getting checked in it was another hour wait for my vehicle. Finally got called to go to pick up my vehicle and got to a 2nd counter in the rental ramp, only to be told there is no vehicle, and that they were all reserved....confused because I also reserved a vehicle, I asked why did I have to wait an hour just to be told there was no vehicle, their response was "we were hoping a return would have been made in that time, try renting from avis". So went up a floor, stood in line another hour, and while I was in line I reserved, paid for and checked in for a car, and once reaching the front of the line, was confirmed and sent on my way. The fastest part of dollar was getting my rental voided. Avis was much better than dollar.

I feel there was a bit of false advertising as the rental criteria I chose was for an airport location and not a shuttle. This last minute understanding caused a colleague to have to Uber to town. When explaining this over the reception phone, I received some attitude from the woman at the desk. Additionally there was chocolate all over the passenger car seat, dials and driver side wall.

Pick up took an hour.....two inexperienced ladies were having a hard time. The two ladies who were in front of me when I arrived were still there an hour later.....no car. A manager came in, thankfully, and took over my transaction and made it infinitely better. Wish I had gotten his name...in Minneapolis, short, dark hair, early 50's from New Jersey....thanks to whoever he is. Otherwise car was fine, drop off was excellent.

This facility is NOT even close to the airport and does NOT have a shuttle or any kind of transportation solution to and from the airport. That said, the prices were great and they did upgrade the vehicle to help compensate for the inconvenience. Just be prepared for a $25 Uber each way, or a long walk through a scary part of town with an hour on the bus and train.
