Cheap Thrifty Car Hire in Puerto Plata

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

When hiring a car in Puerto Plata, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like Thrifty. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

Some rental companies offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be sure to understand the terms, including how much fuel you need to return the car with and any potential fees for not meeting these conditions.

Choose car hire suppliers with high ratings, as these often indicate better service, newer cars, and more convenient pickup locations. For Puerto Plata, we have car hire deals from 19 suppliers. Among them, Thrifty has a rating of 4.1, Sixt has a rating of 4.8, Goldcar has a rating of 4.7 and Europcar has a rating of 4.7.

Steer clear of peak traffic times to minimize delays and frustration.

A credit card is often required for deposits, especially with suppliers like Thrifty in Puerto Plata. If you only have a debit card, use our website filter to find suitable offers or consider obtaining a credit card. Ensure that the main driver’s card is used to avoid any additional fees.

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

Select a pickup location that is convenient for you. Some rental companies offer locations within the airport for quick access, while others may require shuttle transportation.
