Frequently asked questions

How do I get a Cancun Thrifty rental car at a great price?

We strive to get you the lowest price, no matter when you reserve your car. However, getting ahead of time can help keep spending low. Be sure to keep the car under one driver's name and read the mileage policy to avoid any surprise fees.

What should I carry with me when I pick up my rental car in Cancun?

You'll need to bring your driver's permit and a credit card in your name.

What is the minimum age to rent a car in Cancun?

Thrifty's minimum age to rent a car in Cancun is 21. Take time to review Thrifty's policies, as there may be limitations if you are under 25 in most cases or for higher category vehicles especially.

What kind of Thrifty rental car should I get for my trip to Cancun?

That depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Cancun. Compact or economy automobiles are good for short drives and are easier to park. If you are traveling with coworkers, then a SUV or mid-size vehicle will have enough room for all of you and offer a more comfortable ride on longer drives. Those looking for a bit of luxury on their Cancun getaway can choose a higher-end model like an Audi A4 or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Does Mexico require car insurance?

In Mexico you do need to have insurance before you rent. You may also buy additional insurance through Thrifty, if you are concerned your insurance won't cover your rental during your trip. Although many of the major card issuers, like MasterCard or Discover, offer some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For instance, you may not be covered if you book a larger or luxury vehicle. Make sure to check credit card company's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can also add on Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.

Do I need to pay a deposit when I book my Thrifty car rental?

Thrifty does require a deposit when you reserve your rental car. Thrifty will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your rental for your trip to Cancun. Please be aware that the deposit will vary greatly based on the make and model of the vehicle.

Do I have to full up the tank before I take my car back to Thrifty?

We suggest a full tank policy. You should get your car with a full tank, and you will want to refuel up to the amount you picked the car up with. To avoid any added expenses, it is best to find a gas station before you return the car to Thrifty.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

Cancun definitely has its charms, but you may want to take to the road again after you've checked off all the activities here.

Does Cancun Thrifty offer one-way car rentals?

Thrifty typically offers one-way rentals. You may find it more convenient to drop off your rental car at another location. However, there is typically an additional fee when you opt for one-way.
