CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON THRIFTY AT JOHN F. KENNEDY INTL AIRPORT, JFK

They were OK, service quick and ok, tried to force us to buy an EZ-Pass (more on this later). The location has moved but was still in JFK. We got a bit concerned as couldn't find it anymore on Google maps! We had to ask someone there where they had moved to, luckily basically the same place just tucked around a corner. The major issue we had was with EZ-PASS. EZ-PASS is 100% required on America's cashless toll roads, if you don't have it you are out of luck and will be fined by the rental company for each toll you pass. The rental company wanted to charge us an arm and a leg - $240 for their ez-pass usage. We refused as we were told not to accept any extras. I then confirmed we would definitely need one after a lot of frantic online research, and had to find an alternative way to get it. This was extremely difficult. We eventually found an EZ-PASS service center where we could walk in and buy one - this took many hours to find as their main website was down and the customer service rep we called couldn't advise us on how to acquire one at all...... We were able to blag our way into getting one from this service center (an hour process in the center, not a quick purchase). All in all it took maybe 4-5 hours extra in total before we could actually start driving to our destination. In total our tolls cost maybe $50 with our ezpass instead of $240 so technically this was worth it. It would have been REALLY nice to know about this beforehand!!!

Poor customer services in airport. Girls chatting to each other whilst servicing customers which is just rude. Queue long. Would not recommend.

Counter staff were very grumpy and unhelpful. There was the option of an ez-pass for tolls that was not explained at all which was also very unhelpful. They really appeared to nor care less. Car staff on the other hand were very happy and helpful.

Very happy with the 9-day trip, full vehicle guarantee.

The main issue is the car (economy) we wanted was not there. We were not the only ones this happened to. we were offered an upgrade but again the upgrade was just the only one car in the lot! Very big and not for us. Had to wait for a car to become available. This has happened to me twice with Thrifty at JFK. For this reason I'll be booking with someone else next time.

Booking process was good. I didn't use price dropper. I would recommend easyrentcars and would use again.

Simple procedures

They collect another airport surcharge and tax further than state in booking confirmation.

Very good

Simple and fast

The car speed was very quick. Upon arrival, you just hand over the keys to the staff. The explanation of insurance and toll passes took a bit of time, but there was no hard sell. Overall, the process was quick and the staff were courteous.

Appropriate vehicle, met our requirements. Excellent service

Excellent service. All went smoothly at pickup etc. as per our requirements/specifications.

Charged a lot more than what was quoted. And charged for things that were included in the price

Good experience for my first rent

Convenient
