Thrifty Car Rental was first formed in 1958, nearly 65 years ago. It was actually an indirect subsidiary of the Thrifty Rent A Car System. The company did very well from the start and ultimately bought Snappy Car Rental in 1989 to encourage the ongoing expansion and reduce competition. By the end of that same year, the company was purchased by The Chrysler Corporation. At this stage, the company name was changed to Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group and it traded successfully as such until 2008. At this point, the CEO changed. Just four years later the company was purchased by the former Hertz Global Holdings CEO and it became the Dollar Rent A Car and Thrifty Car Rental. The company has continued trading successfully ever since.
Thrifty Car Rentals offers vehicles for you to use temporarily. Whether you are after a small car, full-sized sedan, or even want a minibus, they can help you out. It is possible to rent from Thrifty just for a day or two. However, they specialize in offering long-term rentals and for being flexible, helping to ensure you have a vehicle when you need it most.
There are more than 100 branches of Thrifty across the UK and nearly 10,000 across the globe. In short, if you need a short or long-term car rental, you will find a Thrifty near you. You can stroll into any of the branches and they will tell you what cars are available, the cost of the rental, and what forms need to be completed. Of course, you will need your driving license and a secondary form of ID or proof of address. The staff can then help you to complete the forms and you can take the car away the same day, if you wish.
The Thrifty website is well presented and full of color. You’ll be met with images of some of the cars they offer. All the vehicles are new, or nearly new and come with full guarantees and breakdown cover, allowing you to drive in confidence. Across the top of the page, you will find all the relevant information, such as the short-term rates, longer-term charges, insurance requirements, and information about the company. You can complete the process online using the direct link to booking. You will need to supply ID documents which can either be supplied via pdfs or you can take them in when you collect the vehicle. If you hire frequently you can set up a local or national account to make the process easier. This is particularly useful if you are a business and looking to hire a selection of vehicles or to ensure there is always a vehicle available for your team. The site does come equipped with a location finder that can assist you with locating your nearest branch and give you directions to get to it. It isn’t possible to have a vehicle delivered to your address, you will need to visit the local outlet to finalize the details and collect the car.
It is best to speak to your local store representative first as they will probably have the answer to any query you may have. However, if you contact the customer service team by phone or email they will evaluate your issue and give you good advice as quickly as possible.
