How to find Thrifty at Aarhus Airport
Knowing where to go is the first step to collecting your Thrifty car rental. You could be heading to an airport pickup point, meeting a staff member, or taking a shuttle bus to the rental area. Run a car rental search and use the 'Pickup' filter to check the collection setup at Aarhus Airport.
Airport terminal: Pick up the car right at the terminal, with the rental counter in or next to arrivals.
Free shuttle bus: The rental site is close to the airport rather than at the terminal. A free bus will take you there.
Meet and greet: A representative meets you at the terminal shortly after you land. They hand over the rental paperwork and your keys on the spot.
Just want a faster way to your car? Some providers offer self-service pickup, so you can collect your keys from a lockbox or kiosk instead of waiting at the rental counter.
Thrifty car rental at Aarhus Airport: What you need to know
Transmission: Choose between 'Automatic' (no gear changes to worry about) and 'Manual' (stick shift). Most rental companies have both, so use the 'Transmission' filter to find your preference.
Fuel policy: Go for a 'Fair fuel policy' to keep things simple. You drive away with a full tank and bring it back full, so you're only paying for the fuel you actually use.
Mileage limits: Rentals with 'Unlimited mileage' let you cover more ground without added charges. Search for this option using the 'Policies' filter and travel freely.
Side of the road: Traffic in Denmark keeps to the right side of the road.

Required documents: As a general rule, bring your physical driver's licence and another form of photo ID when collecting your Thrifty car rental. Your booking will tell you exactly what you need.
Deposits and credit card: A security deposit is usually handled as a pre-authorised hold on your credit card. Debit cards are rarely accepted at pickup, so come with a credit card to avoid delays.
