Thrifty is a value-oriented car rental company that has a significant presence both in the airport and local car rental markets, a marked difference from its major competitors who focus almost exclusively on the airport market.
In the U.S., approximately 66% of its business is in the airport market, 34% in the local market.
In serving the airport market, Thrifty operates "in terminal" in every major airport in Canada and Australia, and in 85 airport locations in the U.S., with the balance of its airport rental centers just off airport grounds. Thrifty is also located in-terminal in most major cities in the Caribbean, and Central and South America where Thrifty has a presence. Thrifty also has a significant presence in the Middle East. Thrifty Truck Rental is an ancillary business.
Fleet
More than 60,000 cars in the US and over 177,000 in the U.S. and Canada (peak fleet in 2002). In the U.S. and Canada, Thrifty Car Rental primarily features quality products of Daimler Chrysler Corporation and other fine cars. Some locations in North America also operate Thrifty Truck Rental divisions.
