Frequently asked questions

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

CarRentals.com strives to get you the lowest rates, whether you reserve your car. However, booking ahead of time can help keep spending low. Be sure to keep the car under one driver's name and go over the mileage policy to avoid any unexpected fees.

What should I carry with me when I pick up my car in Manchester?

You will need to carry with you credit card, as well as your driver's license.

What's the minimum age to rent a car in Manchester?

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

Is there a particular car I should get for my trip to Manchester?

That depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Manchester. Economy or compact automobiles are easier to park and ideal for short drives. If you are traveling with family or friends, then a SUV or mid-size vehicle is going to have more room for everyone's bags and be a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a little luxury on their Manchester trip can choose the premium category to get a car like a Cadillac or Audi or similar.

Does the United Kingdom require car insurance?

In the United Kingdom you do need to have insurance before you rent from Thrifty. Although many of the major card issuers, like Visa or Discover, provide some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, they may not cover your rental car if you book a larger or luxury vehicle. Make sure to check credit card company's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can book Collision Damage Coverage through 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 car. Thrifty will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your vehicle for your trip. Please note that the deposit may vary greatly based on the model and make of the rental.

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

We suggest a full tank policy. You should get into your car topped off. If you return your rental with less than the amount it was given to you, most companies will charge a premium, and sometimes up to 3X the amount of current gas prices to refill it. For a cheaper rate, it is best to find a filling station before you bring it back to Thrifty.

Should I get unlimited miles when I drive in Manchester?

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

Does Manchester Thrifty offer one-way car rentals?

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