Anyone used Thrifty Rentals recently?

[Nadersmom]

Cruising out of Port Canaveral. We are using Budget rental pre cruise from airport to port. Upon return, DH, myself are going to go back to the airport with another couple. So I'm going to need a van for all of the luggage ect. I checked Budget for the date of return (Nov 7) but it says they're booked for that day at that location and have nothing available :(

 

Avis and Hertz are both double the cost of Thrifty for something like a Dodge Caravan. Thrifty is listing around $75.00 plus taxes for one day.

 

Has anyone used them recently? Good experiences? Shuttle at the port to the rental agency?

 

Please and thank you for any responses

Last Sept we needed 2 vans. I BID on them and got them for $39. each for one day rental to get us from Miami to FLL airport. I always bid. Never pay the price on the site.

Our Port Canaveral rental was about 8 months ago. We sailed the Pride from Baltimore and rented a 12 passenger van to make a round-trip excursion to Orlando. Our experience was great. They picked us up, van was ready, and staff was GREAT!!!! We selected them because of the rates.

How did you bid for them? Where? At something like last minute travel? Teach me ! Teach me!!

Really? So thrifty picked you up at the port in the actual van you rented? Or did u have to take a shuttle to the rental agency from the port?

We were picked up in a shuttle van. It's a short ride to the Thrifty lot.

I want to know what this is. I've never heard of bidding for a car rental.
