Cheap Thrifty Car Hire in Chester

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.

When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving in Chester by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Suppliers like Thrifty typically offer a grace period of 30-60 minutes. Providing your flight number can be helpful, but if you’re running late, be sure to call the supplier to inform them.

Using a GPS or navigation app can help you avoid traffic jams and find efficient routes.

Before driving away in Chester, thoroughly inspect the car for any damage. Document any existing damage with photos or video to avoid disputes later on.

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.

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