What you need to know about car rentals in Los Angeles

How do I find the best deals on a Los Angeles Thrifty car rental?

We try to get you the lowest price, no matter when you book. But getting your car ahead of your visit can help keep spending low. Make sure to go over the mileage policy and don't add an extra driver to avoid any surprise fees.

What should I bring with me when I get my car rental in Los Angeles?

Be sure to carry with you your driver's permit and a credit card in your name.

What's Los Angeles's minimum age to rent a car?

Thrifty's minimum age to rent a car in Los Angeles is 21. Make sure to review Thrifty's policy, as there may be additional fees 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 Los Angeles?

That depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Los Angeles. For bigger cities, like Los Angeles, you may find navigating and parking easier in a smaller car. Commute times in Los Angeles average 43 minutes, so you may find a SUV or mid-size car provides a more comfortable ride. Or if you want to keep your emissions down, then choose a hybrid vehicle. If you are wanting to get the most out of your trip near Los Angeles's coast, then you can rent for a convertible to enjoy some top-down driving.

Does the United States require car insurance?

You are required to have insurance before you rent in the United States. Although many of the major card issuers, like MasterCard or Visa, provide some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For instance, you may not be covered if you book a luxury or larger vehicle. Make sure to check credit card company's policy before you decide. Additionally, as a United States citizen, you can add on Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

Does Thrifty require a deposit at the time of booking my rental car?

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

Do I have to return my Thrifty rental with a full tank?

We recommend a full tank policy. You should get your car with full tank, and you should return it topped off. To avoid any added expenses, it is best to fill up your tank before you return the car to Thrifty. Stations close to airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

Los Angeles is a large city, so there is going to be a lot to do. You may not want to be concerned about your mileage limits if you are planning to spend a day at the beach or root on the home team.

Does Thrifty offer one-way rentals in Los Angeles?

Thrifty usually offers one-way rentals. You may find it more convenient to drop off your vehicle at a different Thrifty. However, there may be an additional charge when you choose one-way.
