Finding a Lower Priced Car Rental
If I book a one-way rental with Thrifty and then a week or so later find the same itinerary at a cheaper price do they allow me to cancel and re-book without penalty?
Yes, it's normally very easy to do this and you can do it several ways.
1) try modifying your existing reservation slightly. (just click Review,Change,Cancel on the homepage) Car rentals are charged by a 24 hour day. If you currently have a pickup and return of noon for example, try changing the return to a half an hour earlier... this wont affect your price... and make the modification. If the rate lowers or changes at all, you should be prompted of the change before you finish the modification.
2)If the price does not lower, or you are not able to modify, you can create a new reservation at the lower rate; As long as you have not prepaid the original rental in advance with your credit card. Most car rental reservations do not require a credit card number to book. Then go back with your original reservation number and cancel the more expensive reservation.
3) You can also try calling the Thrifty toll free reservation number, 1 800-THRIFTY - and ask a reservation agent to either modify your reservation to reflect the new lower rate, or to give you a new reservation at the lower rate.
I hope this helps!
