Cons: nothing
Spain
Nissan X-Trail 4x4
5/8/18

Cons: The service was slow, the idea that we were charged for valeting a dusty car in Namibia is preposterous in view of the fact that there are only dirt roads! The deposit has not been refunded properly, even though we paid for the valeting charge separately. Not good enough overall.
Spain
Nissan X-Trail 4x4
3/9/18

Pros: Pleasant and friendly staff. The issue we had was dealt with quickly and satisfactorily.

Cons: The car had to be returned clean and there was no car washes working in the petrol stations in Windhoek Namibia. It proved a difficult task.

Australia
Nissan X-Trail 4x4
2/20/18

Pros: The car was provided as ordered, and suited our needs well

Cons: The car was registered in South Africa, and we were stopped at a police checkpoint 1 hour north of Windhoek. We were told we had to turn back as the entry permit for Namibia had expired that day. We had to drive an hour back to the Thrifty office to get an updated permit, costing us 2 hours out of our trip. This was totally irresponsible on the part of Thrifty. Also the GPS unit provided had not had the maps updated, as it couldn't find quite a few dirt roads. We had to rely on paper maps
Croatia
Nissan X-Trail 4x4
1/26/18

Pros: Nothing

Cons: The first car they gave me didn't start at all. Replacement car came with terrible worn out tires. couldn't wait longer - and sure enough one of the tires loss air pressure after few days. I took insurance for
South Korea
Nissan X-Trail 4x4
1/11/18

Pros: This can be a good and bad thing at the same time because we found out there was no car available on arrival the one we booked. Thrifty was trying hard to find a good car for us, unfortunately we both fount hard to drive a manual car, and ended up getting suggested a better valued car than the one we actually booked. Thanks for suggesting with free upgrade.

Cons: The only problem of our vehicle was a poor air-conditioner. Thinking that day time in Namibia is pretty hot and dusty, you don't want to really open car windows to block dust from outside, but air conditioner didn't work properly and gave us a medium temperature breeze even if we set up max/cool full power. Other than that, we were satisfied with the most of the things.
Brazil
Nissan X-Trail 4x4
1/10/18

Pros: Nothing.We felt fooled by the company.In order to make us accept the car they had available they lied about the car year model and its current usage.

Cons: I didn´t receive the car required and not even one in the same category.It was a double cabin pick up with a faulty canopy which didn´t lock properly and let a lot of dust in and ruined the cleaninless of my luggage. After some phone calls and 4 days in the contract the car was replaced by one that fit our requirements.
South Africa
Nissan X-Trail 4x4
1/8/18

Pros: They were very accommodating, efficient and friendly.
Portugal
Nissan X-Trail 4x4
1/7/18

Cons: The car was not in good conditions (suspension). When help was needed because the car was broken no one come to help us. I hope you dont charge nothing of the 3000 NAD that we have done for deposit.
Angola
Nissan X-Trail 4x4
12/22/17

Pros: Time spent picking up and dropping off the car.

Cons: The car suspension was very worn. No refund made of a new tire even with insurance payed.
