Cheap Thrifty Car Hire in Taupo

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.

A credit card is often required for deposits, especially with suppliers like Thrifty in Taupo. If you only have a debit card, use our website filter to find suitable offers or consider obtaining a credit card. Ensure that the main driver’s card is used to avoid any additional fees.

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the vehicle's controls and features before driving off. Knowing how to operate essentials like headlights, wipers, and navigation systems can enhance safety and convenience.

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

Being aware of gas stations ensures you won't run low during your travels.

When hiring a car in Taupo, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like Thrifty. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

Steer clear of peak traffic times to minimize delays and frustration.
