Yep. I know most driving isn't long-distance in rental cars, but I was traveling a few weeks ago and offered an electric car instead of the hybrid I had reserved, but since I was going to be driving long distances through rural areas, I declined. Not interested in finding where the hell to charge the car, in general or close enough to the airport for it to still have an acceptable amount of charge left when I returned it, when I could just pull into any gas station and quickly refill a non-electric car.
- jeffrallen 3y agoYeah, I just had the experience of getting a $35 recharge fee when the rental company couldn't be assed to put a high speed charger out front of their return lot. Making me bring back the car at 75% but giving me no way to do that is just lame. The fee should only apply to less than 20% charge. Thanks a lot Thrifty. Not going to rent from you again until you fix your electric car return policies.
- Tommstein 3y agoOn the topic of getting dicked around with refueling/recharging charges, several times in the last few months I have returned a car with a full tank to Avis, only for them to still add some bullshit fuel charge that required calling and talking to someone to get it removed each time. No way the fees keep getting added by accident, they're just doing it so they can keep the fees from people who don't notice or care enough about their casual theft. Avoid those thieving assholes too.
