Cheap Thrifty Car Hire in Winterthur

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

When hiring a car in Winterthur, 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.

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the vehicle's controls and features before driving off. Knowing how to operate essentials like headlights, wipers, and navigation systems can enhance safety and convenience.

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

Be aware that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Make sure to check the company’s age policy when booking.

Some zones may have driving limitations; make sure you’re aware of them.
