Thrifty Billing, Deposits, Receipts and Unexpected Charges
For billing questions, first compare your final receipt with your reservation, rental agreement, coverage selections, fuel option, taxes, airport fees, tolls, citations and any added services. Thrifty says receipts may take up to seven days after the car is returned to appear online and are generally available online for six months.
Thrifty says some charges, including traffic violations, parking violations, unpaid tolls or vehicle damage payments, may be charged after the rental is returned. Save your rental agreement, receipt, toll notices, card statement, photos and support messages until the issue is resolved.
Thrifty Roadside Assistance, Late Returns and Vehicle Problems
If you have a roadside problem, unsafe vehicle, flat tire, lost key, lockout, dead battery, accident, mechanical issue or late-return problem, contact Thrifty immediately instead of waiting to post a review. Use the roadside number on your rental documents or the official roadside numbers above.
For vehicle condition complaints, take photos at pickup and return. Include the odometer, fuel level, dashboard warnings, exterior damage, interior condition, tire condition and any issue reported to the counter or branch.
Thrifty Tolls, Citations and Damage Claims
Toll and citation charges may appear after the rental ends. If you believe a toll, parking ticket, traffic violation or administrative fee is wrong, keep the notice, rental agreement, proof of payment and any transponder records before contacting Thrifty.
For damage claims, compare the claim with your pickup and return photos, inspection report, rental agreement and final invoice. Ask Thrifty for documentation supporting the charge and keep a record of all emails, calls and case numbers.
