Affordable car rentals for every occasion

When renting a car with Thrifty Car Rental, you must present a valid driver’s licence (held for a minimum of one year), any necessary international driving permits, an original passport or ID card (photocopies are not accepted), and a credit card under your name to cover the rental and pre-authorisation charges.

If you used a different card for the booking, bring that as well. All cards must be registered in the primary driver’s name.

Age requirements vary by location. It is recommended to check the Rental Qualifications during booking for age-related details. Thrifty Car Rental verifies the driver’s age to determine whether a young driver surcharge applies.

The driver must be at least 25 years old and have held their license for a minimum of one year. Drivers under 25 are usually subject to a young driver surcharge.

Reservations must be made and paid for using a valid credit card in the primary driver’s name to confirm the car rental. The same credit card must be presented at pick-up to cover the security deposit and rental guarantee.

Fuel is not included in Thrifty Car Rental rates. Cars are provided with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank to avoid refuelling charges. Alternatively, you can prepay for fuel at the start of your rental, but unused fuel will not be refunded. Inquire about the Fuel Purchase Option (FPO) when you pick up the car.

For prepaid car hire reservations, cancellations made by midnight two days before the scheduled pick-up qualify for a full refund. Cancellations made after this deadline but before pick-up will be processed according to our Cancellation Policy.

For "Pay at location" reservations, you may cancel any time before pick-up without penalty. However, failing to cancel and not showing up will result in a No Show/Lost Rental Fee.

To avoid additional fees, return your car rental at the scheduled drop-off time. While some locations may offer a brief grace period, this is not guaranteed and varies by location.
