Car Hire with Thrifty

Before leaving, check the rental car's interior for cleanliness and any functional issues. Confirm that features like the radio and air conditioning are operational.

Typically, car rental companies require a credit card deposit that is temporarily held. Make sure to ask about the specific deposit amount and how it's handled once you return the vehicle.

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.

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.

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.

One of the top reasons to rent a car from Thrifty is the wide range of amenities available to elevate your travel experience. You can customize your vehicle with accessories that suit your needs—whether you're hitting the slopes and require winter tires or snow chains, or exploring the city and want a GPS navigation system to help you drive like a local. Families can also benefit from child seats, ensuring a safe and comfortable journey for parents traveling with children. Choose the perfect add-ons to make your car rental experience with Thrifty exceptional.

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.

Take time to get acquainted with the vehicle's controls and features before driving off. Understanding essential functions like lights, wipers, and navigation can enhance your safety.
