Cheap Thrifty Car Rental in Puerto Vallarta

When renting a car in Puerto Vallarta, choose a car rental deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like Thrifty. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Puerto Vallarta, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

If you are travelling to Puerto Vallarta and considering renting a car, choosing an in-terminal car rental supplier can save you time and hassle. Suppliers like Thrifty have locations right at the airport, allowing you to avoid shuttle buses or meet-and-greet services and ensuring a quicker and more convenient pickup.

Knowing where to park can save you both time and money; check for fees and space.

A credit card is often required for deposits, especially with suppliers like Thrifty in Puerto Vallarta. If you only have a debit card, use our website filter to find suitable offers or consider obtaining a credit card. Ensure that the main driver’s card is used to avoid any additional fees.

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.
