Cheap Thrifty Car Hire in Aberdeen

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

When hiring a car in Aberdeen, be aware that rentals are charged per day. For instance, Thrifty charges per day, so if you rent for more than 24 hours, you’ll incur an additional day’s charge. Plan your hire period to avoid extra costs

If sharing driving responsibilities, check the policies regarding additional drivers. Some companies charge fees for each extra driver, while others may include it for free under certain conditions.

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

Knowing local laws helps prevent fines and makes your driving experience smoother.

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