Rental cars

Hi,

I%26#39;ve checked online and can get a very good rate on a Thrifty full-size car from the Omaha airport, considerably less than other companies. Also, I looked into mini-vans (not sure which I want to rent yet), and Alamo seems to be the least expensive way to go. Has anyone had any BAD experiences with with either of these companies? If not, I%26#39;ll go with the cheapest company.

Thanks

Used %26#39;em both from Omaha Airport -- had no probs with either. I%26#39;d say find the best price, and also check any frequent-flyer programs you belong to %26amp; see what partner benefits they have. It might clinch it for one rental vs. the other.

Living close to Omaha my family has used both of the companies numerous times. We have never had any issues with either company.

Just returned from vacation - we rented with Alamo. In case anyone reads this, I just wanted to give a heads up. We picked the car up at the airport (a pontiac montana??) . The car was filthy. It had not been washed on the outside. You could barely see out of the windshield because of all the dead bugs on it. There was no windshield wiper fluid at all. The inside was dirty as well. It was very dusty, and there were empty soda cans and water bottles left from the previous renter. There were straws/wrappers on the passenger front seat. I don%26#39;t know if this is representative of the company, or the fact that it was picked up at the airport, or just a fluke, but I would think twice about renting from Alama again.

That is just gross Hershey. Unsanitary to say the least. Sorry you had such a crappy experience. Hope the rest of your trip was better than the car rental!

We had an awsome trip, thanks! We actually drove from Omaha to the Black Hills of South Dakota. By flying into Omaha, we saved a total of $800 in airfare verses flying into Rapid City. It would have been nice if the car could have been clean since we spent so much time in it (put just under 2000 miles on the car), but, oh well, we got over it and it was a fantastic trip!!

Do not rent from Thrifty in Omaha airport. I recently reserved a car there and my flight arrived four hours late. They would no longer honor the reservation and charged me an extra ten dollars a day for a different class car since they ';didn%26#39;t have any more compact cars available'; The man at the counter admitted it was a real customer rip-off that they often used, said he was sorry, but couldn%26#39;t do anything about it. I tried going to a manager and he refused to do anything about it.
