Thrifty has always been a value orientated car hire company. They have a large presence in major airports but also operate car hire from local sites such as large city centres. If you use a hire car on a very regular basis Thrifty offers their regular customers a loyalty programme in which you collect points from every rental which can be redeemed for free days of hire.
In the past Thrifty decided to franchise their company and their ideals this method of development played a key role in their speedy growth and helped them to become a major global brand. Today Thrifty owns some 46 % of its branches in the US but the remaining European offices are still franchised outlets, each of the franchised outlets must adhere to Thrifty’s strict ideals and trading standards.
Thrifty’s fleet of vehicles is kept modern and up to date ensuring customers are given the very best possible and modern equipment is available, such as GPS navigation devices. Thrifty offers customers the Garmin Nuvi 660 at all of their branches. The GPS device has an easy to use colour touch screen monitor, which will keep you heading in the right direction at all times, and ensures you won’t miss any points of Interest. The Garmin nuvi 660 comes pre-loaded with over 6 million areas and places to keep even the pickiest person entertained. The Sat-Nav system can also give you voice prompted directions in over 17 different languages.
Recently Thrifty have added a range of luxury vehicles to their fleet which they have called their “beyond luxury” collection. The luxury hire cars include the new BMW 3 and 5 series, Hummer H2, Jaguar S Type, Mercedes Benz and Mini Coopers. Along side car hire they also offer Airport parking services in selected Airports and cities.
Thrifty are also an environmentally conscious company, as cars and combustion engines are a large contributor to dangerous green house gasses thrifty has decided to introduce a range of Hybrid and Bio fuel cars to their range. The Toyota Prius hybrid is a conventional Petrol engine car combined with an electric motor which is actually charged as you drive along. Fuel consumption is less so not only is travel better for the environment it is also cheaper for you the user. Demand for these vehicles is high so if you specifically require one, ensure you reserve you vehicle sufficiently early before your trip.
Thrifty like many other car hire agencies now has an automated pick up and return system. They also have close links with major travel agents so bookings can be made in real time whilst you speak to your agent. If you need help at any time during pick up or return it is possible to speak to a Thrifty agent through their free Help system. |
