United States of America (USA)
Kia Picanto
2/23/26

Pros: Quick pickup and drop-off and decent staff accommodating a slightly later drop-off

Cons: I've never rented a car from a formal rental agency that was SO old. I mean this car must have been at least 16-18 years old. The radio was after-market and not even a good one with Bluetooth in it. There was even a lizard in the car when we picked it up, which is perfectly understandable with the tropical climate, but just a little bit cumbersome since my wife has a phobia of lizards. The car worked totally fine anyway albeit struggling with slopes a little bit unless I manually downshift.

United Kingdom
Kia Picanto
12/7/25

Cons: Terrible attitude of staff Very old and damaged car On return, we had to wait 25 mins for their staff Fuel 3/4 to 3/4 - ended up returning almost full Worst rental experience of all my travels Would not use again I used Kreole cars in Praslin who were perfect in comparison

Italy
Kia Picanto
10/26/25

Pros: Very fast delivery even if we were 30 minutes before pick time

Cons: They gave us the car with very low fuel ( he wrote 1/4 but it was 1/8) . In 15 minutes car was already in reserve . It’s not a big problem but it’s better to receive the car with a bit more fuel so u don’t have to search a gas station as first thing

United Arab Emirates
Kia Picanto
8/20/25

Pros: The pick up agent was polite and friendly and the process was fast.

Cons: But while receiving the car we noticed that the front Tyre looked a little flat yet the agent said it was fine and after driving the car the tyre got busted just 30 minutes later. John was very helpful and sent us a repair team in less than 10 minutes and they even changed the car for us, but the cleanliness wasn’t great. I just hope no other person goes through the terrible experience I had with Niren at drop off especially since they’re operating using a reputable brand like Thrifty

Kia Picanto
6/25/23

Pros: John waited for us at the airport as we arrived very late (21:00 after office hours) and made the handover a breeze. He let us drop off the car at the catcoco jetty for 20€ extra which was very convenient for us traveling with kids & luggage. He met us for drop off and was over punctual. Nice friendly service !

Cons: We were a bit surprised to get a rental with only half a tank .. we drove it empty filled up and ended exactly at the level we got it - no issue - just a bit uncommon.

Hungary
Kia Picanto

Kia Picanto
4/13/23

Pros: Quick pick up, easy to find, easy to return. A flat tyre was taking care of quickly by Thrifty. An excess charge for damage (someone stole our right mirror while it was parking) was surprisingly reasonable.

United Arab Emirates
Kia Picanto
4/3/23

Pros: Friendly and efficient

Kia Picanto
4/2/23

Pros: Friendly and efficient smooth service

Slovakia
Kia Rio
2/27/23

Pros: Well, the service was OK, the personell was nice, no issue at all..but..

Cons: The car was definately the worst car I have ever driven and I have been driving many cars over last 25 years.. brakes, clutch, engine - all completely wrong.. I would not bet a dollar that car had technical inspection completed in last 5 years.. interior very much used.. well it must have been 20 years old and the only possitive fact about that car was the size of the trunk..

United Kingdom

Switzerland
Kia Picanto
11/11/22

Pros: Ease of drop off

Cons: The car was old, the guy literally stole us and admitted it was for his family. There is another way to make a living for his family stealing is never an excuse. The man a checkin took charged us 30€ extra to drop the car to another place. In the bill it was states 20€. When I asked why the he took us 10€ euros he told us that was for his family and asked me to not tell his boss. Ok some people live in poverty but stealing neverd helped anyone.
