Cheap Thrifty Car Hire in Geelong

Car-sharing services can be a flexible and cost-effective solution for brief journeys.

Some zones may have driving limitations; make sure you’re aware of them.

When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving in Geelong 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.

Select a pickup location that is convenient for you. Some rental companies offer locations within the airport for quick access, while others may require shuttle transportation.

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.

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.
