3. RATE QUOTES
Vehicle rental rates and available vehicles may considerably vary depending on location and date and
they change very frequently. A rate quote you receive is merely indicative of the rates then being
offered and creates no legal rights. No guarantee regarding vehicle availability or the continued
applicability of the quoted rate can be given.
4. RESERVATIONS
A “reservation” for a vehicle rental is a notation in Thrifty’s record that you have expressed the desire
and intention to rent a vehicle of a specified class at a specified time, date and location (“pick up”
time, date and location), on the terms and conditions and subject to rental qualifications and
requirements that Thrifty imposes for such a rental. Pick up and return times for reservations are
always expressed in local time at the pick up and return locations, respectively.
Thrifty accepts reservations only for a class of vehicles and not for vehicles either of specific makes,
model years or models or with particular characteristics not common to all vehicles in a given class.
If Thrifty allows you to make a reservation, you accept any legal obligations that arise and are
indicated in detail below as well as the practical and non-legal significance of such reservation.
When you make reservation for a rental transaction, you will receive from Thrifty a quote of the
estimated total charge for the rental. Such a total will generally be computed on the basis of the
information available at the time of the reservation, without regard to charges for optional products
and services.
4.1 Prepaid Rental Transactions
When you enter into a prepaid rental transaction, you make a confirmed reservation with Thrifty to
rent a vehicle of a specified class from Thrifty at a specified pick up time, date and location, with the
vehicle to be returned at a specified return time, date and location. You also pay by debit or credit
card, soon after the reservation is made, the total rental charge quoted at the time of reservation.
4.2 Guaranteed Reservations
Rental agencies will hold your reservation for two (2) hours from the reserved pick up time. Airport
rental agencies will hold your reservation two (2) hours after the landing of the airplane (if the
information was available at the time of reservation). Two (2) hours after the time of pick up, the
reserved vehicle can be made available for rental to another customer. Should the customer arrive
after the two (2) hour period, Thrifty will attempt to provide a vehicle, but cannot guarantee
availability. An extra charge for late arrival will be applied.
As indicated in the paragraph below “Conditions outside the Control of Thrifty (Force Majeure)”, if,
as the result of events or conditions outside of our control it is impracticable for Thrifty to perform
its obligations, we can cancel the prepaid rental transaction, and in that case you will be promptly
refunded without any deduction the prepaid rental charge that had been collected from you.
Additionally, as indicated below under “General Conditions outside the Control of the Customer”, if,
as the result of general events or conditions outside your control, it is impracticable for you to
perform your obligations, the reservation will expire as soon as you give notice to Thrifty of the
existence of such event or condition and you will be promptly refunded without any deduction the
prepaid rental charge that had been collected from you. In an airport location, outside of the business
hours, we guarantee the reservation within 2 hours from the long-haul flight arrival time, and within
1 hour from a short-haul or medium-haul flight arrival time.
4.3 Specific vehicles reservations
Thrifty accepts reservations for vehicles indicated as “specific” (requiring availability request to
Thrifty Reservation Center) in prepaid rental transactions (see conditions of prepaid rental
transactions).
4.4 Conditions outside the Control of Thrifty (Force Majeure)
If it is impracticable for Thrifty to perform any of its obligations at the specified pick up time, date
and location as the result of events or conditions beyond Thrifty’s control, including, without
limitation, any governmental act, flood, fire or other natural catastrophe, unusually severe weather
(including wind, snow and ice storms), epidemic, Act of God, war, terrorist act, riot, insurrection, civil
strife, national emergency, strike or other labor dispute, utility failure, failure or disruption of data
processing or transmission or failure or disruption of access or supply, then in the case of a prepaid
reservation, the transaction will be cancelled and Thrifty will promptly refund you, without any
deduction for liquidated damages.
4.5 General conditions outside the Control of the Customer
If it is impracticable for you to perform any of your obligations described as “Prepaid Rental

conditions beyond your control, including, without limitation, any governmental act, flood, fire or
other natural catastrophe, Act of God, war, terrorist act, riot, insurrection, civil strife, national
emergency, strike or other labor dispute, utility failure, failure or disruption of data processing or
transmission or failure or disruption of access or supply, then in the case of a prepaid reservation,
the transaction will be cancelled and Thrifty will promptly refund you, without any deduction for
liquidated damages.
You should note, however, that events and conditions that are beyond your control but that are not
general in nature, including, without limitation, the condition of your health and the health of those
traveling with you, will not excuse your performance of your obligations under a prepaid rental
transaction.
You should consider travel insurance or similar arrangements to protect you against unforeseen
events and conditions that are specific to you and those traveling with you.

or modify his reservation at least one hour prior to the pick up time and date.

location, or if we have agreed to collect it, you will remain fully responsible for the vehicle until it is
collected by us.

(hours or days) requires prior agreement by Thrifty. Your signature is required for extending the
duration of the rental contract. For failing to return the vehicle by the time agreed to at time of rental,
an extra rental day will be charged based on daily rate policy including all fees pertaining to selected
options for each full or partial late day. These charges apply unless an extended return delay (“grace
period”) is stipulated in a written mutual agreement signed prior to time of rental or in our ongoing
policy (for more information please inquire at the rental location).

A penalty will be charged if the vehicle is returned at a different location to the one agreed to at time
of rental.

date agreed at time of rental.

for misappropriation and breach of trust, and measures will be taken with public authorities to
recover the vehicle. Under penalty of loss of all insurance coverage, you will be fully responsible for
theft and/or damages up to the amount of the full deductible or the market value of the vehicle.
5.6 You agree that we are entitled to charge you an additional cost if the vehicle requires more than our
standard cleaning on its return to restore it to its pre rental condition allowing for fair wear and tear.
5.7 If you decide to extend your rental, you will have to go to the agency to pay current price according to the
period. Thrifty could refuse to extend location without penality for the renter and he will have to immediately
return the car.
Thrifty can decide to put end the rental before the end of the contract if you do not respect fundamental
obligations, especially car conditions of use, rental payment or car restoring conditions.

model years or models or with particular characteristics not common to all vehicles in a given class.
If Thrifty allows you to make a reservation, you accept any legal obligations that arise and are
indicated in detail below as well as the practical and non-legal significance of such reservation.
When you make reservation for a rental transaction, you will receive from Thrifty a quote of the
estimated total charge for the rental. Such a total will generally be computed on the basis of the
information available at the time of the reservation, without regard to charges for optional products
and services.
4.1 Prepaid Rental Transactions
When you enter into a prepaid rental transaction, you make a confirmed reservation with Thrifty to
rent a vehicle of a specified class from Thrifty at a specified pick up time, date and location, with the
vehicle to be returned at a specified return time, date and location. You also pay by debit or credit
card, soon after the reservation is made, the total rental charge quoted at the time of reservation.
4.2 Guaranteed Reservations
Rental agencies will hold your reservation for two (2) hours from the reserved pick up time. Airport
rental agencies will hold your reservation two (2) hours after the landing of the airplane (if the
information was available at the time of reservation). Two (2) hours after the time of pick up, the
reserved vehicle can be made available for rental to another customer. Should the customer arrive
after the two (2) hour period, Thrifty will attempt to provide a vehicle, but cannot guarantee
availability. An extra charge for late arrival will be applied.
As indicated in the paragraph below “Conditions outside the Control of Thrifty (Force Majeure)”, if,
as the result of events or conditions outside of our control it is impracticable for Thrifty to perform
its obligations, we can cancel the prepaid rental transaction, and in that case you will be promptly
refunded without any deduction the prepaid rental charge that had been collected from you.
Additionally, as indicated below under “General Conditions outside the Control of the Customer”, if,
as the result of general events or conditions outside your control, it is impracticable for you to
perform your obligations, the reservation will expire as soon as you give notice to Thrifty of the
existence of such event or condition and you will be promptly refunded without any deduction the
prepaid rental charge that had been collected from you. In an airport location, outside of the business
hours, we guarantee the reservation within 2 hours from the long-haul flight arrival time, and within
1 hour from a short-haul or medium-haul flight arrival time.
4.3 Specific vehicles reservations
Thrifty accepts reservations for vehicles indicated as “specific” (requiring availability request to
Thrifty Reservation Center) in prepaid rental transactions (see conditions of prepaid rental
transactions).
4.4 Conditions outside the Control of Thrifty (Force Majeure)
If it is impracticable for Thrifty to perform any of its obligations at the specified pick up time, date
and location as the result of events or conditions beyond Thrifty’s control, including, without
limitation, any governmental act, flood, fire or other natural catastrophe, unusually severe weather
(including wind, snow and ice storms), epidemic, Act of God, war, terrorist act, riot, insurrection, civil
strife, national emergency, strike or other labor dispute, utility failure, failure or disruption of data
processing or transmission or failure or disruption of access or supply, then in the case of a prepaid
reservation, the transaction will be cancelled and Thrifty will promptly refund you, without any
deduction for liquidated damages.
4.5 General conditions outside the Control of the Customer
If it is impracticable for you to perform any of your obligations described as “Prepaid Rental
Transactions” at the specific pick up time, date and location as the result of general events or
conditions beyond your control, including, without limitation, any governmental act, flood, fire or
other natural catastrophe, Act of God, war, terrorist act, riot, insurrection, civil strife, national
emergency, strike or other labor dispute, utility failure, failure or disruption of data processing or
transmission or failure or disruption of access or supply, then in the case of a prepaid reservation,
the transaction will be cancelled and Thrifty will promptly refund you, without any deduction for
liquidated damages.
You should note, however, that events and conditions that are beyond your control but that are not
general in nature, including, without limitation, the condition of your health and the health of those
traveling with you, will not excuse your performance of your obligations under a prepaid rental
transaction.
You should consider travel insurance or similar arrangements to protect you against unforeseen
events and conditions that are specific to you and those traveling with you.
4.6 No show
Thrifty reserves the right to charge a No Show Fee. No fee would be charged if the customer cancels
or modify his reservation at least one hour prior to the pick up time and date.
5. RESERVATIONS, PICK-UP, DELIVERY AND RETURN
5.1 We will supply the vehicle to you in good overall and operating condition, complete with all
necessary documents, parts and accessories.
You agree to return the vehicle to us in the same condition as you rented it, subject to fair wear and
tear, with the same documents, parts and accessories, at the location and on the date and time
designated in the Rental Agreement.

accessories arising during the rental.
5.3 The vehicle must be returned to the agreed Thrifty location within the normal business hours of the
location concerned. If you return the vehicle outside of these hours you must comply with the out of
hours return instructions for that location. If you fail to comply with these instructions, you will
remain responsible for the vehicle until we are able to access it.
5.4 If at any time we have agreed that you may return the vehicle to a place other than a Thrifty rental
location, or if we have agreed to collect it, you will remain fully responsible for the vehicle until it is
collected by us.
5.5 Our rental fees are charged on a 24 hour basis starting at time of rental. Extending the duration
(hours or days) requires prior agreement by Thrifty. Your signature is required for extending the
duration of the rental contract. For failing to return the vehicle by the time agreed to at time of rental,
an extra rental day will be charged based on daily rate policy including all fees pertaining to selected
options for each full or partial late day. These charges apply unless an extended return delay (“grace
period”) is stipulated in a written mutual agreement signed prior to time of rental or in our ongoing
policy (for more information please inquire at the rental location).
We offer a 29 minute grace period.
A penalty will be charged if the vehicle is returned at a different location to the one agreed to at time
of rental.
The rate will be recalculated and a penalty will be charged for returning a vehicle prior to the return
date agreed at time of rental.
By not respecting the return date agreed to at time of rental, a police report may be filed against you
for misappropriation and breach of trust, and measures will be taken with public authorities to
recover the vehicle. Under penalty of loss of all insurance coverage, you will be fully responsible for
theft and/or damages up to the amount of the full deductible or the market value of the vehicle.
5.6 You agree that we are entitled to charge you an additional cost if the vehicle requires more than our
standard cleaning on its return to restore it to its pre rental condition allowing for fair wear and tear.
5.7 If you decide to extend your rental, you will have to go to the agency to pay current price according to the
period. Thrifty could refuse to extend location without penality for the renter and he will have to immediately
return the car.
Thrifty can decide to put end the rental before the end of the contract if you do not respect fundamental
obligations, especially car conditions of use, rental payment or car restoring conditions.
