Car Rental Return

Useful Information

Policies

rform a credit check for Debit Card customers to determine credit worthiness at the time of rental. The customer must meet the minimum criteria to rent using a Debit Card. In addition, the acceptance of debit, prepaid or store value cards is contingent upon the card having available funds to cover the estimated charges plus an authorization of up to $200.00 for a Major Credit Card and $500.00 for a Debit Card given conditions depending on location, length and date of rental that will be outlined at time of rental. If Thrifty cannot secure credit approval or funds for this amount and/or proper identification credentials are not supplied, Thrifty will decline your rental. Upon completion of rental, a different debit or credit card can be accepted for payment at the end of your rental. Cash rentals which require an up-front deposit of cash are accepted from customers who have obtained a Cash Deposit Identification (ID) Card. Applications for a Cash Deposit ID Card are available from Thrifty.com. Prepaid Debit cards or store value cards are accepted for payment at the end of your rental. Franchise locations may set their own requirements for debit card acceptance. Please contact location for more details.

When the renter chooses to receive Frequent Flyer miles, we will collect a Frequent Flyer surcharge, not to exceed $1.50 per day, at the time of rental to offset a portion of the annual cost of participation in the Frequent Flyer program.

Reservations will be honored for 6 hours after original scheduled pick up time unless the location is closed. Customers with reservations who experience weather or mechanical delays with airlines will be accommodated.

To report or check on an item left in the rental car or at the rental counter, please contact our First Notice of Loss Department at (877) 584-7159 or visit the Lost & Found page on our website, complete and submit the interactive form: Travel Center\Lost & Found. We are not and will not be responsible or liable for unclaimed items which are disposed or salvaged.

We prohibit smoking in ALL vehicles. If any evidence of smoking is found, a cleaning fee will apply.

One-way Rentals consist of picking up a rental vehicle in one city or location and returning to another city or location. These types of rentals are subject to availability. There may be drop charges or mileage charges for one-way rentals in addition to the rental rate.

Customers are required to contact us to extend the rental if the vehicle will not be returned by the due date on the rental agreement. If the vehicle is overdue, and customers fail to contact us, an Overdue Administrative Fee may be charged to offset our administrative efforts and related costs.

The Rental Counter and Vehicles are in the Consolidated Rental Facility (CONRAC) across from Terminals A & B. Customers can walk across the skybridge to reach the rental counter. No shuttle bus required.

Many roads throughout the United States are “all-electronic,” which means that there is not an option to pay for tolls with cash or credit/debit cards when utilizing these toll roads. As a convenience, Thrifty offers its customers an all-inclusive tolling product - PlatePass® - which is an optional product to pay for all electronic tolls that the customer encounters during his/her rental. If a customer declines the PlatePass® option, Thrifty will charge the customer the cash/highest undiscounted price for each electronic toll incurred plus a $15.00 administrative fee (FL and MA - $9.99 per occurrence) for each toll incurred (subject to a $90.00 cap for such toll-related administrative fees for the rental period) unless the customer makes some other arrangement to directly pay for the electronic tolls he/she incurs. These toll-related charges can be avoided by staying off toll roads, using a personal transponder – where permitted – or by making direct-pay arrangements with the toll authority – where allowed.
