You can pay for your Thrifty Seattle Airport booking online or when you go to the Rental Car Facility to pick up your vehicle. Paying in advance saves money though, and you can add various extras, for example Loss Damage Waiver that covers 100% of potential damage to the vehicle so you don't have to pay a thing, or you could add car seats for infants, or add liability insurance that covers you against claims from the other party, should you be involved in an accident. If you require roadside assistance, you should ring +1 877 283 0898 or dial +1-800-THRIFTY.

You can also add personal accident insurance that covers the driver and passengers, and insurance to protect your belongings, while they are inside the vehicle.

Thrifty vehicles include the Economy class Chevrolet Spark, the Midsize Elite SUV BMW x3, the Luxury class Chrysler 300 and the Standard class Chevrolet Cruze. The Midsize van Nissan Quest is ideal for small groups - it seats seven passengers.
