If you don’t find what you need at Gare Maritime with Thrifty, you might discover more car hire options in Marseille, which can occasionally be cheaper. However, keep in mind that the additional cost of transferring from Airport to Marseille might result in higher overall expenses compared to picking up your rental car directly at the airport.

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.

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.

To save on refueling costs when departing from Gare Maritime, look for deals with a 'full to full' tank fuel policy, or even better, a free tank fuel policy, as opposed to a 'half-full to full' one.

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.

If options at the station are limited, check for other rental agencies nearby that might offer better deals.
