Important context: Truth Signal weighs public evidence about this business. A high score means strong evidence that the business is established and legitimate, not a promise that it is safe to buy from or that every purchase will go well. A low score means the evidence is thin or raises concerns, not that the business is unsafe or a scam.

Each row below shows what that record says about thrifty.com; open a row to see the facts and the source to check them yourself.

## How the customers' Total rating is worked out

Bayesian average: 7 reviews at 3.5 stars added, so a few reviews move it less. The 7 added reviews at 3.5 stars are the weighting Trustpilot publishes for its TrustScore. With this business's figures:

(7 × 3.5 + 2.1 × 120 (SmartCustomer) + 2 × 7 (Reviews.io)) ÷ (7 + 127) = 2.2, to one decimal place
