Pros:Front desk guy is awesome. Super friendly guy and the value is impossible to beat.Cons:The interior of the car was filthy. There were french fries everywhere from whoever had the car last which means that during a pandemic they aren't even cleaning the cars between rentals. I felt unsafe the entire time.Reviewed Mar 1 2021

Top tips for renting a car from Thrifty in Toronto

  • Something great about choosing to book Thrifty car rentals in Toronto is that this company offers you a huge selection of vehicles to choose from. So no matter if you are looking for an economy model to save some money during your trip or you want something up to a minivan or a full-size SUV, Thrifty has just the rental car for you.
  • One reason it is such a good idea to book Thrifty car rentals in Toronto is that this is a company that has a knowledgeable and professional staff that not only knows about all the different types of vehicles available from Thrifty but also knows the city of Toronto very well meaning they can help you find the exact car you need for your trip to Toronto.
  • It is important to remember that when you book Thrifty car rentals in Toronto, you are driving in an environment that can get quite hazardous during the winter months. If you are not accustomed to driving in snowy and icy conditions, it is always best to discuss this with your Thrifty representative to make sure your vehicle is outfitted with the proper equipment necessary to handle these conditions. Reserving a vehicle with four-wheel drive, such as an SUV, is always a good choice during the winter months in Toronto.
  • Even though the city of Toronto is large, the fact that Highways 400, 401, 407, and 427 all make their way through different parts of the Toronto area means it is quite easy to get from place to place in the city of Toronto without having to spend an inordinate amount of time on city streets. This extensive highway system means it is also quite easy to get to suburbs such as Mississauga, Brampton, Richmond Hill, and Markham quite easily during your trip.

FAQs about renting a car from Thrifty in Toronto

  • What is the best pick-up location for renting a car in Toronto?

    While most travellers that arrive in the city of Toronto by air will choose to book their car rentals at one of the two airports in the city, that does not mean you still can't book a great car rental if you are not arriving by air or if you are already in the city and decide you later want to rent a car. Two examples of this include Thrifty locations that travellers will find right in the center of the city. In the Harbourfront neighborhood, there is a Thrifty location on Front Street West that is perfect for travellers in this area, and then farther away from the water, there's also a location on Carlton Street right adjacent to Allan Gardens that makes a great pick-up location.

  • What is the benefit of using Thrifty to rent a car?

    One thing that travellers should know about when they choose to book Thrifty car rentals in Toronto is that this company has an amazing loyalty rewards program called Blue Chip Rewards. This program offers benefits such as quicker reservations, amazing discounts, the ability to receive priority counter service, or even skip the counter, plus you can do things like adding a free authorized additional driver meaning someone else can share in the driving fun during your trip to Toronto. This is also a great way to earn points for substantial discounts on future rentals with Thrifty.

  • Where is the best place to park in Toronto?

    Like a lot of major cities in North America, you are sure to find plenty of free parking spaces as you get to the outskirts of Toronto or into more suburban communities. The trick for most drivers is finding places to park when they are at some of the more popular destinations in the downtown Toronto area. While it will often be difficult to find free parking spots in this area, one of the best ways to make sure you can utilize all the available parking options is to purchase a temporary parking permit from the city of Toronto that travellers can purchase in increments of 24 hours, 48 hours or for one week. This allows travellers the ability to enjoy Toronto without worrying about paying for parking every time they stop.
