Disorganized check in. Staff didn't care that car required maintenance
Points positifs : The car we rented was clean, but to our dismay had a "tire maintenance" indication light on in the Dollar Thrifty parking lot. We pointed it out to staff who assured us they "put it through their computer, so it's probably OK". In the end, no drivers or occupants of the vehicle were injured, so that's a plus.
Points négatifs : We arrived 30 minutes before this location was scheduled to close. Lot attendant didn't record all dents and scratches when we went to leave with the car. We had to run back upstairs and ask him to come back down, as he was nowhere to be seen initially. He then recorded the additional dents and scratches in the wrong column (the part on our contract which details damage we caused the the vehicle), so we had to run back upstairs as the office was scheduled to close in 5 minutes. One of the office staff corrected the contract by writing a new one, but she did kurtly complain that they were now closed. Armed with a legitimate rental contract, we started the car to realize that a "tire maintenance" indication light was on. These concerns were dismissed by staff, who ran to their own vehicles and drove away, leaving us shaking our heads.
I rent dozens of cars annually in various countries and regions. Other members of my party can say the same. We all agreed that we'd never encountered such a baffling lack of concern from a rental car agency, and we advise against renting from this location.
