Complete ripoff merchants
Complete ripoff merchants. At Kerry airport, I was charged for premium emergency roadside cover(€56) and also Wheel Tyre and Glass Cover (€56) withhout being asked. According to their website, the latter is included in the €152 Supercover that I took out. Because the plane was late landing, I was charged €30 for late collection (they had to stay open till around 7pm rather than usual 6.30pm). The actual total bill was over three times the headline rental price of €169 for 8 days rental.

Entreprise parfaitement malhonnête : n'accepte pas que l'assurance soit celle de la carte gold et oblige le client à prendre son assurance ce qui double le prix de la location !!
A fuir absolument c'est du racket organisé et le client n'a pas le choix quand tout le voyage dépend du véhicule.

I recently visited the Switch branch in Stirchley Birmingham and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. From the moment I walked in the atmosphere was welcoming and well organized, but what truly made the visit stand out was the exceptional service I received from Anil and Brian.
Both Anil and Brian were incredibly professional, approachable, and genuinely attentive. They took the time to understand exactly what I needed, answered all my questions with patience, and made sure I felt confident every step of the way. Their knowledge and calm, friendly manner turned what could have been a routine visit into a genuinely positive experience. It’s rare to come across customer service that feels this sincere and effortless. Anil and Brian are a real credit to the team I truly hope they get the recognition they deserve. They went above and beyond without ever making it feel forced. I left feeling valued as a customer and very satisfied with the service I received.
I would highly recommend this branch to anyone, especially if you have the chance to be assisted by Anil and Brian. They truly set the standard for professionalism and customer care.

Manager was really rude
Manager was really rude. And then made me park my car on the main busy road. And then purposely took ages to sort out my hire car. Really wished I had chosen Enterprise around the corner. Won’t be coming back… although I must say the other staff were sympathetic and tried their best to help but had to follow orders.

Would be zero if possible
Would be zero if possible. They list cars that are not available they take your details, your credit card etc., then advise subject to confirmation. They say they will email quote, but don't they say they will issue confirmation but don't and in fact don't confirm anything at all. Their only phone number takes you to another branches that have no ability to resolve. Eventually when you get to talk to them they advise no cars available leaving you having wasted time for nill result and lost opportunity with other vendors. The listings are just window dressing. Having used other car hire companies Thrifty are a complete joke, their system borders on fraudulent misrepresentation and when it comes down to it the staff really don't give a toss and actually don't care about this negative review either. The only way to change that is for others to vote with their feet and go elsewhere.
