Unfortunately thrifty charged us for the extra insurance even though our booking we did online had already charged us for this. When I discovered this they would not give me any money back so I paid far too much for this car rental.Reviewed 21 Oct. 2023

keep your original confirmation email and price given!Pros:Car was fine. Heater worked fast and well. Comfortable and easy to drive.Cons:There was a discrepancy between kayak price of $84C and their invoice of $96C returned two hours early. Asian fellow at Hertz/Thrifty desk was rude and didn’t know what he was doing and put me through finding photos of the kayak info and the old email and confirmation etc and then he ended up passing item off to a female agent who got it all fixed and charged me the original Kayak price agreed on. Anxiety over missing the allowed time to get our luggage put through... the whole thing was not my fault but ended up looking like I was the one doing something wrong!!!Reviewed 6 Nov. 2018

Top tips for renting a car from Thrifty in Edmonton

  • One reason so many travellers choose to book Thrifty car rentals in Edmonton is because of the wide variety of vehicles available. This means travellers looking to save a little bit of money can choose an economy or compact model that will get them from place to place safely and conveniently without costing too much money. It also means travellers can get larger vehicles, such as premium vehicles and SUVs for big groups, or even a specialty vehicle, such as a pickup truck from the Thrifty locations in Edmonton.
  • A good reason to book Thrifty car rentals in Edmonton is for those travellers who want to explore some of the great locations in Alberta. Thrifty does offer one-way rentals at some locations. So, for example, passengers that fly to the Edmonton International Airport (YEG) and then want to go on a road trip in Alberta can easily return the car to cities such as Calgary or Red Deer once their road trip is complete.
  • One thing drivers will soon notice after they book Thrifty car rentals in Edmonton is that it is quite easy to get around the city because of the extensive highway network. Highway 216 acts as a beltway around the city that makes it easy to not only access several parts of the city quickly but also intersects with major highways such as Highway 2, which travels north or south, and Highway 16, which travels east to west, meaning it is quite easy to get to destinations outside of Edmonton.
  • Something to keep in mind before you book Thrifty car rentals in Edmonton is that during the wintertime, driving in Edmonton can be challenging because of snow and ice. While you can generally put tire chains on your rental car, Thrifty rental car locations do not rent tire chains. If you are heading for some outdoor wintertime fun, most Thrifty car locations will rent ski racks. During this time of the year, it is always a great idea to try to rent a vehicle that offers four-wheel drive for your safety and comfort.
