Used Thrifty for the first time this trip and I was very satisfied with the standard of service at Sanford airport. The Thrifty desk
is just to the right as you exit the baggage collection building (probably even shorter walk than to the Dollar desk !)

Although I had brought my Thrifty Blue Chip card (like Dollar Express) I don't know whether it would have made a lot of difference anyway, as there was only one couple ahead of me in the queue and just one (very pleasant)lady dealing. Unlike the Dollar queue where there is usually someone at the head of the queue to direct you to the next free operative.

I had ordered an intermediate size SUV and was allocated a Jeep Liberty (OK with me although I had hoped to try one of the new Ford Edges...Thrifty were kind enough to phone through to the parking lot...but there were no Edges to be had). However the Liberty is fine and has just 10,000 miles on it.

On completing the transaction (in record time!) I asked where the parking lot was and was told ...."just over the road, past the end of the building opposite and left" (For those who know the layout at Sanford....yes ....you've guessed it....I walked into DOLLARs parking lot to collect the car. They are apparently using the same pool of cars as I could see no demarcation between companies !)

Considering the price difference between Thrifty and Dollar I can certainly recommend Thrifty for service, speed and politeness and would definitely use them in future.

Big thankyou to Roger whose service was spot on as usual. [msnsmile2]
