Fuel Policy

Thrifty rental car offers several refueling options to make fueling your trip easy. Which option you choose is entirely up to you. 

 

Self Refuel

 

You refill the gas tank of the vehicle within a 10-mile radius of the rental return facility. Return the vehicle and present a receipt to avoid a refueling charge. 

 

Thrifty Refuels

Return the car with fuel at any level. Thrifty will handle the refueling process and apply a charge for the fuel and refueling service. 

 

Prepaid Fuel

 

Purchase fuel at the time of rental and enjoy the convenience of returning the vehicle without refilling the tank. Price is competitive with local pump prices. NO REFUND WILL BE GIVEN FOR UNUSED FUEL.

 

Fuel strategies for a problem-free car rental experience

  • Understand the rental company's fuel policy. Some agencies mandate returning the car with a full tank; otherwise, they levy considerably higher refueling rates. Understand these terms and avoid surprises when returning a rental.

  • Plan your journeys to ensure the car is returned with the specified fuel level and avoid incurring additional charges. Consider refilling close to the drop-off location to match the required level precisely.

  • Explore prepaid fuel options. When used efficiently, prepayment can save money compared to local fuel prices. Assess your travel needs to determine if such plans align with your itinerary.

  • Carefully gauge your expected fuel usage to determine which fuel option presents a viable cost-saving opportunity.
