Thrifty Car Rental at Salt Lake City Airport

Salt Lake City International Airport, with the IATA code of SLC, is found approximately five miles northwest of the Salt Lake City CBD, and in the American state of Utah. It is also nearby to the Salt Palace Convention Centre and all the downtown hotels. The airport is well connected to the city by main roads. Passengers can take a bus or taxi into the city, or they could rent a car from one of the airport car hire companies such as Thrifty Salt Lake City International Airport. A wide selection of cars are available for rent, at affordable prices, and many other services are offered by the car rental companies for the convenience of their customers.

The airport of Salt Lake City is a modern establishment designed with all passengers in mind. There are facilities for disabled passengers, as well as many shops, restaurants and other services within the terminal buildings. Terminal 1 consists of Concourses A and B, and Terminal 2 consists of Concourses C, D and E. Terminal 2 is mainly used by the airline companies of Delta Air Lines and SkyWest Airlines, two carriers for which the airport is a hub. Flights by all other airline companies will arrive at Terminal 1. Once passengers have collected their luggage items and are ready to leave the airport they can go to the parking garage’s lower level to find the car hire companies. Thrifty is here, along with Avis, Hertz, Budget, National, Alamo and Enterprise. The car rental companies are open at times that are convenient for passengers on the majority of the airport’s arrival flights, and some are even open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

In order to make sure that you will receive the car that you require for your business or leisure trip in Salt Lake City it is recommended to make an advanced online car rental reservation. A reservation can also be made over the telephone, or over the counter, but online is nowadays preferred by most customers. It will take just a few steps to complete the reservation, which can be done from the comfort of your home or office. Online rental rates are often cheaper than ‘over the counter’ rates as well. Whilst booking, add a child seat or a satellite navigation system if these items are required, and specify the return location of your vehicle. Thrifty one way hires are sometimes available, allowing the customer to return the vehicle to a rental location other than Salt Lake City Airport. One way hires, although sometimes convenient, could be more expensive than an ordinary rental.

From Thrifty, hand controls for disabled drivers may also be requested, free of charge. This is a device that is fitted to certain vehicles with an automatic transmission, and operates the brake and accelerator pedals. It does not operate the car lights, windshield wipers, blinkers or any other vehicle function, such as cruise control, and is therefore ideal for use by individuals with a lower limb disability. From Salt Lake City International Airport, hand controls should be reserved at least forty-eight hours prior to your arrival.

The Salt Lake City International Airport car hire companies, including Thrifty, offer a large variety of cars for hire, all of which are considered to be in good mechanical condition. Thrifty’s most popular cars include the Hyundai Accent, Ford Focus, Toyota Corolla and Ford Fusion. These cars are reasonably priced and have space for four or five passengers and a couple of luggage items. Larger SUVs and Minivans are often hired as well, and are similar to the Dodge Journey, Jeep Liberty, Ford Explorer, Dodge Durango and Dodge Caravan. Vehicles ideal for business purposes can be found in the Premium and Luxury vehicle categories, which include the Mercury Grand Marquis and the Chrysler 300.

Unique to Thrifty is the Wild Card category. If this category is chosen the customer will receive a Compact or larger sized car, but will only pay Compact vehicle rates. The customer may therefore end up driving an SUV or a Minivan for a very low price. The vehicle is chosen for the customer by staff at Thrifty when its time for the vehicle to be collected. The car will have room for up to five people, and space for a couple of luggage items.

Thrifty offers their Blue Chip Program as well, which has many benefits for occasional and frequent renters. Members of the free program will enjoy shorter lines at a specially dedicated rental counter, and will be able to make quicker and easier reservations for their vehicles. Blue Chip members could even earn free rental days with the Blue Chip Rewards program.
