THRIFTY Car Rental Services at Melbourne Airport

Melbourne Airport serves over 32 passengers per annum, and is one of the largest airports in Australia. It is also commonly referred to as the Tullamarine Airport, and is known by its official airport code of MEL. The airport is located approximately 23 km, or 14 miles from the city center of Melbourne, and is a popular arrival point for corporate individuals and tourists. The busiest route from the airport is to Sydney, Australia’s largest airport. From Melbourne Airport, passengers have a variety of transport options, including a rented car from one of the airport car hire companies, such as Thrifty. Many passengers choose Thrifty for low rental rates, and their unique car hire services.

Thrifty can be found in the terminal buildings of Melbourne Airport, and although cars can be hired directly from Thrifty’s rental counters, it is often recommended to make an advanced reservation, from Thirty’s website, at www.thrifty.com. Online, customers will find all the information they require regarding this car hire company’s terms and conditions, and will be able to view the car categories available for hire from Melbourne Airport. The airport comprises of four terminal buildings, of which one is used for international traffic, and three are for domestic passengers. One of the three terminals for domestic flights is also used for budget airline companies. Although a large airport, arriving passengers should easily find the car rental companies at the airport. At this location, Thrifty is open from 05:00 to midnight.

Thrifty offers late model, dependable vehicles with low mileage, therefore their customers can expect to receive a vehicle that is in very good condition. Thrifty also offers very reasonable rental rates, for either small or large vehicle rentals. Smaller cars are similar to the Hyundai Getz, in the Economy category, and the Toyota Corolla, in the Compact category. All vehicles from Thrifty are divided into various car classes, and are therefore booked and priced accordingly. A car category will be chosen, rather than a vehicle by is specific make and model, and a car similar to that of the example shown will be offered.

Sedan models that are suitable for families include the Mitsubishi Lancer and the Ford Falcon, as both cars have reasonable room for luggage. Families may also enjoy a Mid-size Van such as the Toyota Tarago, or even the Mitsubishi Outlander, which is an SUV-type vehicle with seating space for five. Thrifty offers several Premium vehicle categories as well, which include the Ford Fairmont, Ford Territory and the Mitsubishi Pajero. Many of these vehicles have an automatic transmission, as well as other desirable features, such as air conditioning, air bags and ABS brakes. Vehicles with an automatic transmission are also used for disabled passengers who have requested hand controls for their rental from Melbourne Airport, as this device operates the brake and accelerator pedals of the vehicle. Hand controls should be reserved in advance, at least 48 hours before arrival at the airport.

Vehicles from Thrifty may also be arranged as a one way hire, if the customers will not be driving back to Melbourne Airport. A one way hire can often be returned to any other Thrifty rental location in the area, even if it is not in Melbourne city. Customers should however keep in mind that rented cars from this airport are often not permitted to be taken into Western Australia or the Northern Territory. Cars are also not allowed to be taken on ferries or to nearby island locations. One way hires returned to a different town or city may incur additional rental charges.

Thrifty’s unique car hire services include their Blue Chip Program, whereby members can enjoy faster reservations, rentals and returns, VIP treatment at the Blue Chip Members Only line and even earn free rental days, with the Blue Chip Rewards Program. The Blue Chip Program is free to join for all customers, and offers many benefits for each time a car is rented from Thrifty. Customers may also choose Thrifty’s Wild Car Program, which will enable them to receive a mid-size or larger vehicle, at lower than usual mid-size rates. Although you will not know which type of vehicle you will be driving, it is guaranteed to be great value for money. The staff at the pick-up location will choose the vehicle on your behalf once you arrive. The car will have at least five seat-belts and space for two or more large luggage pieces.

Corporate clients at Thrifty Melbourne Airport may also hire a vehicle for longer periods of time, as Thrifty has a very popular Multi-Month Rental Program. Cars can be hired for up to eleven months without the need to be returned until the rental agreement has expired. Calling a special 800# can easily make reservations for longer rentals, and charges for the rental period will be billed automatically to the primary renter’s credit card or Thrifty billing account. A corporate account will be needed for the Multi-Month Rental Program, which can be acquired from Thrifty’s website, at www.thrifty.com.
