Cheap Thrifty Car Hire Deals at Berlin Central Station, Berlin

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.

Bring along your driver's license, ID, and credit card, as these are required for the rental.

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

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

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.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

Before finalizing your booking, check if the rental company offers free cancellation. This can provide peace of mind if your travel plans change unexpectedly.

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.
