On May 13, 2011 I rented a car from THRIFTY ROMANIA and I was charged 729.67 dollars for rental for which I paid with a credit card. At the same time, the person at the Thrifty rental office in the Otopeni airport, Bucharest whose name was Claudiu told me that he was going to put an additional hold of 450 euros (about 700 dollars) on my credit card because this was their policy, but that the hold would be released when I returned the car.

I returned the car to THRIFTY on May 22 in good condition with no scratch or damage, and all seemed all right, but I found out in the beginning of June that THRIFTY had charged me 684.27 dollars extra because "car was returned with scratched bumper on the side." They had not contacted me about the claimed damage and the charge, and I knew nothing about the whole thing until i did my own search and investigation.

THE DAMAGE WAS A LIE. The same thing happened to a family friend that rented a car from THRIFTY ROMANIA during the same month, May 2011. They told him the same thing, that he had returned the car with a scratch on the bumper.

These people are CROOKS! Stay awas from THRIFTY ROMANIA.
