What is the fuel policy for rental cars?

Thrifty Car Rental typically offers a few standard fuel policies for customers when renting a vehicle. The most common policy involves a full-to-full approach. This means that customers are required to pick up the rental car with a full tank of fuel and are expected to return it in the same condition, also with a full tank. This policy can be convenient for renters because it allows them to refuel the car at their preferred gas station and ensures they only pay for the fuel they actually consume during their rental period. Thrifty may also provide an option for customers who prefer not to refill the tank before returning the vehicle. This is known as the pre-purchase fuel option. Under this policy, customers pay for a full tank of gas at an up-front price when they pick up the car. The benefit of this option is that renters can return the car without worrying about refueling. However, if the rental car is returned with more fuel than what was paid for, no refunds are provided. It is important for customers to choose the option that best fits their travel needs and to confirm specific fuel policy details on the Thrifty website or during the rental agreement process. This way, renters remain well-informed and can avoid any unexpected charges upon returning the vehicle.
