Question 1

Does Thrifty require refueling in St. Pete–Clearwater International Airport, Tampa, United States?

Accepted Answer

With a full-to-full or same-to-same option, you need to return the car with the same amount of fuel it had at pickup. If not, you'll be charged for the missing fuel at a rate higher than the local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank. This means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it.
