Frequently asked questions

How do I find the best prices on a Mexico City Thrifty car rental?

CarRentals.com strives to get you the best rates, whether you book. However, reserving well ahead of your visit can help keep spending low. Make sure to go over the mileage policy and keeping it to one driver will reduce your expense.

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

You will need to present your driver's license and a credit card in your name.

What is the minimum age to rent a car in Mexico City?

Thrifty's minimum age to rent a car in Mexico City is 21. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles (luxury, SUVs, etc.), may have an added fee if you are under 25. Make sure to check Thrifty's policy to determine what the total cost is for you.

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

That depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Mexico City. Compact or economy vehicles are easier to park and ideal for short drives. If you are traveling with a bigger group, then a SUV or a sedan is going to have more room and offer a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a bit of luxury on their Mexico City vacation can choose the premium category to get a car like an Audi A4 or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Do I need insurance when I rent a car in Mexico?

In Mexico you do need to have insurance before you rent a car from Thrifty. You may also purchase additional insurance through Thrifty for your trip, if you know your insurance won't cover your rental during your trip. Although many of the major card issuers, like American Express or MasterCard, give some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, they may not cover your rental car if you book a luxury or larger vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can add on Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

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

Thrifty requires a deposit when you book your rental car. Thrifty will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your rental for your trip. 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 advise a full to full policy. You receive the vehicle with a full tank, and you will want to refuel up to the amount you picked the car up with. For a cheaper rate, it is best to find a gas station before you return the car to Thrifty. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

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

Can I get a one-way rental from Thrifty?

Thrifty offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it more convenient to drop off your rental at another Thrifty. However, there may be an additional charge when you opt for one-way.
