Top tips for hiring a car from Thrifty at Fort Lauderdale Airport
If you plan to drive yourself from the airport when you land at Fort Lauderdale, you should book Thrifty car rentals at Fort Lauderdale Airport. Even though they don't have a stop at the airport, Thrifty car rentals provide a free shuttle to and from Fort Lauderdale International Airport. Moreover, Thrifty car rentals and Fort Lauderdale Airport transfer services make it possible for you to return your rental car at the pickup and drop off location at 600 Terminal Drive near the airport before boarding your flight out of the city. To reach the Thrifty car rentals transfer pickup location, which is on the terminals, proceed to the area of baggage claim. Every 15 minutes or so, the shuttle runs, picking up and dropping off passengers.
When you book Thrifty car rentals at Fort Lauderdale International Airport, you have a variety of car models that might be suitable for the location. For instance, you could decide to rent a convertible and enjoy Fort Lauderdale's pleasant weather. You can always choose an SUV as a practical alternative for moving luggage or any additional items you might want to bring. You won’t run out of options as Thrifty features a maximum of 25 car models, 5 convertibles, 3 SUVs, 7 compact cars, 2 trucks, 5 minivans and 3 sedans.
Thrifty car rental firms anticipate that their vehicles may become slightly soiled during use. Therefore, they regularly clean them on-site to keep them in good working condition. However, if a renter delivers a very filthy vehicle at 600 Terminal Drive, the rental firm will take more time cleaning it and may even hire a valet to transport it. The driver is charged a cleaning fee to help cover this expense.
Thrifty car rental policies require that you return your rental vehicle at the specified 600 Terminal Drive location. You might feel the need to send it to a different location due to particular circumstances; in this instance, the company will charge you a fee. You can notify the company up to 24 hours in advance if you want to change the location where your rental car is returned.

They were closed when I went to pickup my carReviewed 23 Apr 2025

Awful,only 2 staff working,customers had been in line for over an hour to pick up their vehicle. We couldn’t wait,called to cancel,received a cancellation number verbally and was told that we would receive an email confirmation which never happened. No matter how good the price is being offered if the service doesn’t support the offer then it’s not worth it. We would’ve been late for a meeting if we had waited,we took an Uber.Reviewed 6 Jan 2025

My issue was - in the hotel I was at, I had to use valet parking - the valet driver hit a pipe with the rental car. When I tried to call the official Thrifty number on the contract, I couldn't get a live person AND (as crazy as it seems) kept bringing my to a sales line selling Life Lock. This happened about 10 times. Not kidding. After 9.5 hours of phone calls, paperwork and bringing the damaged car to the Miami airport, I got a replacement car. The customer service person told me to bring the car to the Miami Airport. Note - when I brought it to the damaged car to the Miami Airport, the person at the Thrifty car rental refused to replace it. Again, not kidding. After about 1 hour of arguing with him and trying to call customer service back, they FINALLY accepted it. The experience was terrible. And, I'm not kidding about the 9.5 hours from the time of the accident - 3:58PM till 1:30AM I was dealing with this issue.Reviewed 27 Sept 2024

The car class we reserved was not available forcing us to upgrade at a charge, then despite declining all coverage we were charged for loss and damage insurance, both of these things ended up causing us to spend almost $200 above what we planned based on my kayak reservationReviewed 23 Jul 2024

I was never able to pick up the car and still got charged for it because Thrifty could not cancel it for me. My flight was cancelled due to a tropical cyclone less than 3 hours before the flight. Obviously I could not pick up the car if my flight was cancelled. Expedia, whom the charge was under, couldn’t refund me because my itinerary couldn’t be found. Car rentals. com couldn’t find the itinerary in their online system either. I spent at least 3 hours calling Thrifty, Expedia, and car rentals.com only to get no refund and no cancellation. The emails from expedia have a car rentals com banner- was the whole thing a scam? I am forced to dispute the charge with my card, which is extremely inconvenient. I do not trust kayak anymore. I am out $200 for no reason. Lesson learned.Reviewed 27 Jun 2024

Pros:Airport locationCons:Waited just over an hour to get my cart... long line due to only two people on the desk. When I check in the attendant did something on a hand held reader and walked a way. I waited 10 minutes until he returned and he told me I was all set. Not very pleasant employees checking in or checking outReviewed 23 May 2021
