Frequently asked questions

How do I find the best rates on a Philadelphia Thrifty rental car?

You'll need to carry with you your driver's license and a credit card in your name.

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

Thrifty's minimum age to rent a car in Philadelphia is 21. Take time to go over Thrifty's policy, as there may be added fees if you are under 25 in most cases or for higher category rentals in particular.

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

That depends on how many people you are traveling with and what activities you want to do in Philadelphia. For bigger cities, like Philadelphia, you may find exploring and parking easier in a compact car. Commute times in Philadelphia are close to 32 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 go for a hybrid vehicle. Those looking for a bit of extravagance on their Philadelphia trip can choose a higher-end model like a Mercedes C-Class or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Is insurance required when you rent a car in the United States?

In the United States you do need to have insurance before you rent. Many major credit cards (MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover) typically provide some coverage. However, many of them have restrictions, such as not covering bigger vehicles, like trucks or SUVs. It is best to find out by calling your credit card company to find out what kind of coverage is offered before you head to Philadelphia. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can book Collision Damage Coverage with 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. Thrifty will block the deposit on your credit once you book your vehicle for your trip to Philadelphia. Please be aware that the deposit will vary greatly based on the model and make of the vehicle.

What is the fuel policy on my Thrifty car rental?

At CarRentals.com, we suggest a full tank 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. If you want to save some money, it is best to find a gas station before you bring it back to Thrifty. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Do I need unlimited miles when I rent a car in Philadelphia?

Philadelphia is a big 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 see what else Pennsylvania has to offer.
