Car Hire with Dollar Thrifty

When renting a car, it's crucial to understand the different insurance options available. Selecting the right insurance can protect your finances in case of an accident. Common options include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and liability insurance, so make sure to confirm the required coverage with the provider.

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

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.

Before you drive off, inspect the rental car for any existing damage and ensure it's noted. Taking pictures can help avoid disputes upon return.

When selecting insurance, consider whether it includes free excess coverage. Free excess means you won’t pay a deductible in case of damage, providing additional peace of mind. Compare options to find the best fit for your needs.

One of the top reasons to rent a car from Dollar 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 Dollar Thrifty exceptional.

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.

Before making a rental, check if your personal auto insurance covers rental vehicles. Many policies and credit cards provide this protection, helping you save on extra insurance fees.
