Pros:
Good value. Very service. Good car.Cons:
I made the mistake of booking at a location that wasn’t at the airport. Cost us $35 for a taxi. Due to Covid they wouldn’t pick us up. That’s lame. Shuttles run. They would have gotten 5 stars otherwise.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Very nice car, very courteous agent.Cons:
We waited about 25 minutes in line at the Thrifty desk in the terminal, only to be told we had to catch a shuttle to an off-site location to check in. The listing should clarify whether the rental agency is the terminal desk or off-site.7.6 Good

Pros:
I asked for a shovel as St John’s Newfoundland has just received 20-20 cm snow. They said that they didn’t provide shovels. I had already paid $20 for four snow tires to be installed. I told the individual in charge that I had just had shovel my way out to come ask for a shovel when I realized that the car didn’t have one. We had to look for ways around to avoid windows left by plies or just uncleared streets as we had no means to dig our shelves out of trouble short of buying a shovel if we could find one Roy10.0 Wonderful
