The staff were friendly enough and did their jobs. I had a one way rental (pick up and drop off at different airports) and the car they gave me had out of date tags, snow tires in July that made a lot of road noise and a potential wheel bearing issue that made the car vibrate on the highway.Reviewed Jul 8 2024

No chairs in the rental office. You have to stand up while waiting for the only employee to get to you (and it could be a long wait). No modern credit card machine so I had to be in contact with my credit card provider in order to authorize the deal. No way to buy CDW online (I got an email saying the order was confirmed, but was unable to find it using the thrifty website). I rented a car from the exact same location 2 years ago and had the exact same issues. It seems that nothing had changed since. The car itself was excellent, but the headache around the order was a letdown.Reviewed Jun 8 2024

Pros:Front desk guy is awesome. Super friendly guy and the value is impossible to beat.Cons:The interior of the car was filthy. There were french fries everywhere from whoever had the car last which means that during a pandemic they aren't even cleaning the cars between rentals. I felt unsafe the entire time.Reviewed Mar 1 2021

• What should I know about driving Thrifty hire cars in Toronto?

  You'll need to be aware of the 407 ETR, which is the electronic toll highway system. The system detects a vehicle and its owner via its number plate and then bills the driver for using the 407 highway. When you book Thrifty hire cars in Toronto and make use of the highway you will be billed when you return the car, according to the number of times you pass the toll. Fees change depending on the time and day you pass through it as well.

• What are the different car hire benefits or amenities offered by Thrifty in Toronto?

  One of the benefits of Thrifty car hire in Toronto is most helpful during winter. Winters in Toronto come with icy roads. When you book Thrifty hire cars in Toronto in the winter you'll have access to winter-rated tires that are available for an additional daily fee as an added extra to your booking. The fee is adjusted depending on renting location and the size of the vehicle. Book a Thrifty hire car in Toronto during winter from the inner city branch for the best rates on winter tires.

• Where are the best places to park Thrifty hire cars in Toronto?

  It is very difficult to find free parking if any parking when looking for a good place to park your Thrifty car hire in Toronto downtown. If you do manage to find on-street spots, they are charged by meters. Most meters require overnight payment, but those parking spaces are free after 9:00 pm each evening. The general rule of thumb for on-street parking anywhere in Toronto is that you are not allowed to park for longer than 3 hours at a time. If you do need a longer bay, parking in a parking lot is recommended. Try Adelaide Place - Lot #322 on York Street, or Simcoe Place - Lot #436 at Simcoe Place, Front St W.
