How to find Thrifty at Halmstad Airport
Knowing where to go can make collecting your Thrifty car rental easier. You could be going to a pickup point right at the airport, meeting with a staff member, or taking a shuttle bus to the rental area. Start your car rental search and use the 'Pickup' filter to check the collection setup at Halmstad Airport.
Airport terminal: Pick up your car right where you land. Counters are inside or next to the arrival terminal, so you can go from baggage claim to getting behind the wheel in no time.
Free shuttle bus: The rental office is near the airport rather than at the terminal. A free bus takes you there after you arrive.
Meet and greet: Not long after you land, a representative will meet you at the terminal. They'll hand over the paperwork and keys before taking you to your car.
Want to get to your car without the wait? Some providers offer self-service pickup, where you get your keys from a lockbox or kiosk instead of a desk. No queuing for keys, no paperwork in person, just more time driving.
Thrifty car rental at Halmstad Airport: What you need to know
Transmission: Use the 'Transmission' filter to choose between 'Automatic' and 'Manual.' Automatic does the gear changing for you, while Manual is the classic stick shift. The majority of rental companies offer both.
Fuel policy: Skip the extra costs by choosing a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You pick up the car full and bring it back full, meaning you only pay for fuel you've used.
Mileage limits: Unlimited mileage lets you focus on the journey instead of watching the odometer tick over. Find this feature under the 'Policies' filter and cover more ground without added fees.
Side of the road: If you're unfamiliar with driving in Sweden, don't forget that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.
Speed limits: Local speed limits may vary, but it's typically around 45kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways. Always go with what's posted on the road signs.

Deposits and credit card: A security deposit is usually taken as a pre-authorised hold on your credit card. Debit cards are generally not accepted at pickup, so have your credit card ready to avoid any issues.
Insurance: Car rental excess insurance isn't a necessity, but it can save you from paying a big excess fee. Compare cover levels before you book.
Add ons: GPS units, child seats and additional drivers can all be added while booking your Thrifty car rental. Sort these in advance to speed up collection.
