Renting a Car from Thrifty in Nelson: Good to Know
How to Find the Best Deals from Thrifty in Nelson
Familiarize Yourself with the Vehicle
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.
Understand car features before drivingResearch Fuel Prices
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.
Know local fuel prices before returningAllow extra time for pickup
When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving in Nelson 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.
Plan ahead for your car hire pickupCheck Your Personal Insurance
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.
Use personal insurance to save costsUnderstand Deposit Policies
Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.
Know the rental deposit requirementsBe Aware of Restricted Areas
Some zones may have driving limitations; make sure you’re aware of them.
Know where you can and cannot driveCompare Insurance Options: Free Excess vs. Not Free
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.
Choose the right insurance coverageUnderstand Return Procedures
Before returning the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental company. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can streamline the process.
