Frequently asked questions

How do I get the best deals on a San Rafael Thrifty car rental?

We try to get you the best rates, no matter when you book. However, reserving your car ahead of time can help you save even more. Make sure to check the mileage policy and keeping it to one driver will reduce your expense.

What do I need to bring when I pick up my car rental in San Rafael?

Be sure to carry with you credit card, as well as your driver's license.

What's San Rafael's minimum age to rent a car?

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

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

That all depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit San Rafael. Economy or compact cars are easier to park and ideal for short drives. If you are traveling with family or friends, then a SUV or a sedan is going to have enough room for all of you and be a more comfortable ride on longer trips. If you are hoping to get the most out of your trip near San Rafael's coast, then go for a convertible for some fun under the sun.

Does the United States require car insurance?

You are required to have insurance before you rent a car in the United States. Many major credit card issuers (Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover) typically cover your car rental. But many of them have prohibitions, such as not covering larger vehicles, like trucks or SUVs. Make sure to find out by calling your credit card company to find out what kind of coverage is offered before you head to San Rafael. Additionally, 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 does require a deposit when you reserve your rental. Thrifty will block the deposit on your credit once you book your rental for your trip. Please note that the deposit may vary greatly based on the model and make of the car.

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

We recommend 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 fill up your tank before you bring it back to Thrifty.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

San Rafael's small-town atmosphere definitely has its charms, but you may want to hit the road again after you've spent a day at the beach or explored the shore.

Does Thrifty offer one-way rentals in San Rafael?

Thrifty offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it more convenient to drop off your rental car at a different Thrifty. Don't forget there may be an additional fee when you choose one-way.
