Price Matching
If you find a better deal on Thrifty cars anywhere other than Thrifty.com, they will not only match that price, but will give you an additional 10% off the base rate. A reservation must be made at least 72 hours in advance of your rental by going direct to Thrifty.com and booking the lowest available rate for that car type. Within 24 hours of the booking, should a lower published Thrifty rate be found on a site other than thrifty.com, a completed claim form, available on thrifty.com, must be electronically submitted. To qualify, the same comparison rate must have been found using the same pick-up location, reservation dates and car type. The rate differential will be based on the base rate of the vehicle, and will not include taxes, fuel, surcharges or any other ancillary charges. Only daily, weekend, and weekly rentals are available for Best Rate Guarantee, other rental lengths are excluded.
