Cheap Thrifty Car Hire in Chicago

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

Before concluding your car hire in Chicago, confirm the exact drop-off location with Thrifty. This will save you time and help avoid any confusion at the end of your rental period.

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.

When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving in Chicago by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Suppliers like Thrifty typically offer a grace period of 30-60 minutes. Providing your flight number can be helpful, but if you’re running late, be sure to call the supplier to inform them.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

Renting away from bustling areas can lower costs and ease parking difficulties.

Always keep your rental agreement, identification, and insurance information easily accessible during your rental period. This can help resolve any issues quickly.

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.
