Frequently asked questions

How do I get a Madrid Thrifty rental car at a great rate?

CarRentals.com strives to get you the lowest price, no matter when you reserve your vehicle. But getting ahead of time 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 do I need to bring when I pick up my car rental in Madrid?

You will need to bring credit card, as well as your driver's license.

What's Madrid's minimum age to rent a car?

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

Is there a particular vehicle I should get for my trip to Madrid?

That depends on how many people you are traveling with and what you'll be doing when you visit Madrid. Compact or economy vehicles are ideal for short commutes and are easier to park. If you are traveling with family or friends, then a SUV or mid-size vehicle is going to have enough room for all of you and offer a more comfortable ride on longer drives. Those looking for a touch of extravagance on their vacation can choose the premium category for a car like an Audi A4 or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Does Spain require car insurance?

In Spain you do need to have insurance before you rent. Although many of the major card issuers, like Visa and MasterCard, give some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, you may not be covered if you book a luxury or larger vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can also add on Collision Damage Coverage with 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 car. Thrifty will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your rental for your trip to Madrid. Please be aware that the deposit will vary greatly depending on the model and make of the vehicle.

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

At CarRentals.com, we recommend a full tank policy. You pick up your Thrifty rental with the needle at "F". If you return the rental with less than the amount it was given to you, most companies will charge a premium to top it back off. If you want to save some money, it is best to find a filling station before you return the car to Thrifty.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

Madrid certainly has its charms, but you may want to hit the road again after you've checked off all the activities here.

Can I get a one-way rental from Thrifty?

Thrifty offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it easier to return your rental at a different Thrifty. However, there may be an additional charge when you choose one-way.
