Cheap Thrifty Car Hire in Swansea

When booking, check if the rental company offers extras such as GPS or child seats. These can enhance your driving experience but may incur additional costs, so it's wise to factor them into your budget.

Be aware that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Make sure to check the company’s age policy when booking.

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

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

Familiarize yourself with local habits to enhance your safety and compliance on the road.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

Before returning the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental company. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can streamline the process.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.
