Thrifty

Thrifty Car Rental is a value-oriented brand within Hertz Global, operating mainly at airports in the US and through franchise operations in other countries. It targets cost-conscious leisure renters with lower headline rates and a standard fleet of economy cars, sedans, SUVs and minivans, often sharing facilities with Hertz or Dollar at the same airport. Service is typically more basic than premium brands, and counter waits can be longer at busy times. Because base rates are low, the overall price depends heavily on add-ons such as damage waivers, toll programmes, prepaid fuel and additional drivers, which are often offered at the counter. Before booking, compare the all-in price against other brands, check deposit and debit card rules, read the toll and fuel policies, and confirm whether off-airport shuttles or shared facilities affect pick-up times.
