Car Hire with Thrifty

If you intend to drive off the beaten path, verify with the rental company if this is allowed. Not all vehicles are equipped for off-road driving.

Ask the rental agency about local driving hazards or specific conditions. This knowledge can help you prepare for potential challenges on your journey.

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.

If you’re sharing driving responsibilities, check the rules regarding additional drivers. Some agencies charge extra fees, while others might offer it for free under specific conditions.

Make use of GPS devices or mobile navigation apps to find your way easily. This can help you avoid getting lost and ensure a more seamless travel experience.

It's crucial to assess your insurance options when renting a car. Consider options like Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) to protect your wallet in case of accidents. Always clarify the required coverage with the rental company.

Travelling with young children? Thrifty provides child safety seats for hire, ensuring a safe and secure journey for your family. This convenience means you don’t have to worry about bringing your own seats, making your travel experience smoother.

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.
