Great car but poor service from thrifty

Very cheap but the lack of customer service or even regard for its customers outweighs the price point. It does not cost them to smile and be more informative. The experience started to deteriorate at the airport when I realised they had a pick-up service. I had not opted for it but I showed them the reservation and offered to pay the difference if they would take us to the pick-up location. They refused. At the pick-up location, a lot of time was wasted on people trying to search for proof of address online and in archives. This could very simply be resolved by them announcing to everyone to have their proof ready so that everyone did not have to wait while the people at the counter tried to get the documents and then the next person does the same and the one after that too. The pick-up location does not have any toilets or tea/ coffee facilities or vending machines. It was very crowded with 4 families all waiting for a pick-up.

Quite easy to make the booking. Very flexible arrangements. Cheap top-up insurance to bring excess to zero.

Car not supplied with full tank. This was recorded by rep who advised " no problem, return with same amount". On return signed off car and advised "all Ok". 3 days later find that deposit of Gbp500 had been debited but only Gbp460 returned. Called Dollar at LGW , staff checked details and said would rectify this issue.....but have not. Fraudulent practice ???

The actually car was fine a d when I was sent to the correct address everything was ok

Like: Very friendly but eficient staff, free upgrade, no hidden charges, no waiting, quick and friendly transfer to airport
Dislike: nothing could be improved!
