Top tips for renting a car from Thrifty in Orlando

  • When you book Thrifty car rentals in Orlando, you should know that the company offers additional features to improve your driving and overall experience with the rental car. For example, if you’re new to the streets of Orlando, a GPS would be handy. The staff can help install and program the GPS so that you don’t have any trouble finding your way around Orlando. You can also ask for child seats if you will be traveling through Orlando with small kids. These additional features come at an extra cost so be sure to inquire about the costs beforehand.
  • Thrifty Car Rentals provide customers with a different level of convenience. With multiple locations all over town, you can pick up your rental car from the one that’s most convenient for you. If you arrive in Orlando via Orlando International Airport, there is no need for you to take the metro or a taxi to the city center. Just pick up your Thrifty car rental from the location at MCO. If you would like to drop off the rental car at a different location from the original pick-up station, you can do that as long as you inform the company in advance.
  • Book Thrifty car rentals in Orlando and get to choose from a wide range of vehicle models suited for every need. Whether you want a large passenger van to travel with the whole family or a small convertible to explore the streets of Orlando, you are guaranteed to find something that will suit you. However, it is worth noting that while the company cannot guarantee a specific car model, as that can be difficult logistically, you will get the exact type you requested for. If you want a sedan, they will provide one of the sedans available in the fleet.
  • As you book Thrifty car rentals in Orlando, you should know that the city has several toll roads that will require you to pay in order to use. There are multiple payment options for the toll roads including SunPass, E-Pass, E-ZPass, Pay By Plate, Cash, or via the Tollo App. Payment doesn’t have to be instant when you use the road as you have a 5-day window before and after using the road to process the payment.
  • Book your rental car from Thrifty in Orlando at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price.
  • Compact rental cars from Thrifty in Orlando are around 38% cheaper than other car types, on average.

FAQs about renting a car from Thrifty in Orlando

  • Will I be charged for canceling my Thrifty car rental reservation?

    With most rental cars, customers don’t have to make any payment until the moment they arrive at the rental shop to pick up the car. Therefore, you have the freedom to cancel your reservation any time before that day. This means that if you have a change of plans and may no longer require the rental car as earlier requested, you can cancel your reservation without incurring any penalties. However, if you want to push back the reservation, you can call the company and inform them of the new reservation dates.

  • Where can I find free parking in the streets of Orlando?

    Unfortunately, most street parking spaces in Orlando are metered and charge a rate of $1 for every hour. Nonetheless, you can still get free parking if you park outside the enforcement hours. The meters run from Monday to Saturday between 8 am and 6 pm. You will not be charged for parking outside these hours.

  • Can I change the drop-off location to be different from the one used for pick-up?

    Thrifty has multiple rental locations all over Orlando and customers have the freedom to pick up their Thrifty car rentals at any location that is convenient for them. You can also return the car to any location even if it is different from the pick-up location. However, you should ensure you inform the company so that they can make necessary arrangements.

This is the third time that I have paid for a car that the rental car company classifies as an intermediate, only to be given a compact or sub-compact SUV. this time it was a Kia Soul that according to the thrifty website is a compact car, not a intermediate, but you already know that. Your counter agents are well versed in attempting to upsell the client on insurance and toll road transponders. Under NYS law neither are required and I had my own transponder with me so I accepted neither. NYS and I are fully aware of these upsell techniques.Reviewed Apr 28 2025

I WENT ONLINE AND RESERVED A CAR. WENT TO THE AIRPORT IN ORLANDO AND STOOD IN LINE FOR 30 MINUTES, ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT MY DEBIT/CREDIT CARD. I FIND THAT UNACCEPTABLE. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN WARNED OF THIS WHEN I INDICATED THAT I WANTED A CAR OUT OF THE ORLANDO AIRPORT.Reviewed Apr 2 2025

Terrible, they gave me a “special” rate where is should have said fully electric car because the car was more costly than a midsize sedan which lead me to believe it was a larger vehicle. The person at the desk refused to change my deal because it was purchased on Kayak and then proceeded to try to upsell me a car that was going to be twice as expensive than the internet price. NEVER AGAIN!Reviewed Mar 19 2025
