Pros: Worst car rental experience ever!! DiscoverCars should remove this company from its options for renting!!
Cons: TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!! By far the worst car rental experience ever!! As everyone has already mentioned, stay away from this rental company. I made a reservation for Thrifty through DiscoverCars and it indicated it was at the airport location. We ended up having to take a shuttle to offsite location. The staff is rude. The moment you decline the CDW insurance they turn so rude and purposely delay the vehicle delivery. I had to request to speak with a manager after an hour of haggling with agent

Pros: The man who gave us the car was very thorough and took a lot of pictures of the existing damage (every panel on the car). This probably saved us from being charged for the dents & scratches.
Cons: Starting the reservation process all over at the airport was confusing. We were put in 2 different vans to be taken to "get our car" before they realized they had nothing on file for us. Then we spent over an hour in the Thrifty office getting the insurance straightened out and the paperwork completed.

Cons: I upgraded to get a navigation system, but the staff didn't know how to make it work, so we paid for something we couldn't use. The car return location was difficult to find in the busy PVR airport area.
