Cheap Thrifty Car Hire in Calgary

When hiring a car in Calgary, 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

Before returning the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental company. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can streamline the process.

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

Car-sharing services can be a flexible and cost-effective solution for brief journeys.

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

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

When booking, check if the rental company offers extras such as GPS or child seats. These can enhance your driving experience but may incur additional costs, so it's wise to factor them into your budget.
