Information about renting a vehicle from Thrifty at Phoenix Airport
Customers looking for the Thrifty car hire desk won’t find it in the arrivals zones at Phoenix Sky Harbour Airport. A separate Rental Car Center, where several well known car hire providers are located, offers customers a great choice of vehicles and rates.
The Rental Car Center is situated at 1805 East Sky Harbor Circle South, between 16th Street and 24th Street, just south of Buckeye Road. The free PHX airport shuttle bus, which operates at 5 to 10 minute intervals, picks up passengers from the curb outside the baggage claim levels at each terminal and takes them to the Rental Car Center.
A central desk enables customers to make reservations on tel +1 602 683 3741, if they have arrived without an advance car reservation. The car rental information desk is open from Mondays to Fridays from 8.30 am to 5.00 pm.
Like the other car rental companies, Thrifty is stationed in the Rental Car Centre. Customers should not rely on walk-in car hire, as the demand is very high and supply is therefore limited. Thrifty car rental can be contacted in advance at:
Thrifty car hire Phoenix Sky Harbour International Airport, http://www.thrifty.com, Freephone 800 847 4389 or tel +1 602 244 0311.
In the Economy class customers will find cars like the Chevrolet Aveo, which comes with unlimited miles as part of the deal. The car can seat up to 4 passengers and has automatic transmission as well as air conditioning.
Thrifty car hire Phoenix Sky Harbour International Airport can also provide cars like the Compact range Ford Focus, which can seat 5 passengers and has room for 3 suitcases in the boot. For customers who are not fussy about the type of car they get on the day but are more concerned with value for money there’s Thrifty’s “Wild Card” choice.
Customers will be given a Compact range car or larger on the day, but the service team will pick the car for the customer. This can work out very much in the customers’ favour, since the deal comes at Compact range rates, but might supply a car from a much larger class of vehicles on the day. The car handed over on the day will have at least seating for 5 passengers and will be large enough to transport 2 suitcases or more.
Mid-size cars include vehicles like the Dodge Avenger, while Thrifty Phoenix Sky Harbour International Airport Standard-size cars include vehicles like the Ford Fusion. Convertibles are always popular during the hot Arizona summer months. The Ford Mustang Convertible is as close to the American Dream as it gets!
Families and groups of travellers are probably looking for something a little less chic and a bit more practical with regard to space for passengers and their luggage. The Van range from Thrifty Phoenix Sky Harbour International Airport includes the Dodge Caravan, which can seat up to 7 passengers and has space for 4 large suitcases as well.
Phoenix has a subtropical desert climate and its summers can get very hot - 38 degrees Celsius (100 degrees F) are not uncommon, therefore all rental cars must have air conditioning and when parking the car anywhere, drivers should ensure they park in the shade.
The beautiful Sonoran Desert covers not just parts of Arizona but also neighbouring areas California, Northwest Mexico and Baja California. Drivers unfamiliar with the desert conditions they are holidaying in should take ample water and sun protection on their day trips into the areas surrounding Tempe and Phoenix.
