Question 1

Does Thrifty require refueling in Washington Ronald Reagan Airport, Washington D.C., United States?

Accepted Answer

The Thrifty fuel policy you select at Washington Ronald Reagan Airport will determine your fueling responsibilities. With a full-to-full or same-to-same option, you need to return the car with the same amount of fuel it had at pickup. If not, you'll be charged for the missing fuel at a rate higher than the local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank. This means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, the cost will be higher overall since you'll be charged the local gas price minus a per-gallon discount, leading to an increased total cost.
