Renting a Car from Thrifty in Cairns: Good to Know

How to Find the Best Deals from Thrifty in Cairns

Compare 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 coverage

Review rental conditions carefully

Before renting a car in Cairns, carefully review the rental conditions from suppliers like Thrifty. Pay attention to details on payment card requirements, deposits, cross-border travel policies, and driving licence requirements to avoid any surprises.
Check car rental conditions to avoid surprises

Guarantee Your Car Type

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.
Choose a rental with guaranteed car type

Research Available Parking

Knowing where to park can save you both time and money; check for fees and space.
Identify parking locations in advance

Check 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 costs

Opt for a favourable fuel policy.

When renting a car in Cairns, choose a car rental 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.
Choose a cost-effective car rental fuel policy

Be prepared for card requirements at pickup

A credit card is often required for deposits, especially with suppliers like Thrifty in Cairns. 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.
Search for debit card-friendly car rental

Explore Car-Sharing Alternatives

Car-sharing services can be a flexible and cost-effective solution for brief journeys.
Consider shared options for short trips
