Rental duration

Rental days are calculated on a 24-hour basis, with a grace period of 3 hours (later return will mean an extra day is charged).
 

How you pick up your car

A Thrifty car rental employee will meet you at the arranged location (e.g. airport, as you come out of the arrivals hall), holding up a sign showing your name. Or receive the car at your hotel.
Drivers will need to show their passport and a valid credit card in their own name when they pick up the car.
 

Petrol/fuel

Your car is delivered with at least half a tank of petrol. If you return it with less, you are charged for the difference. If you return it with more, there is no refund on unused fuel.
If you would like your car to be delivered with a full tank of petrol (e.g. because you have a long journey), please advise us and it will be arranged.You can then return the car with a full tank, or pay for the difference.

Payment is made by credit card. Accepted credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express.

The rental contract will be signed and you will show your credit card to the Thrifty employee who will meet you with your car.
