How to find Thrifty at Rimini Airport
Check how pickup works for your Thrifty car rental at Rimini Airport. You could grab your wheels on-site at the airport, have staff meet you, or take a shuttle bus to the rental area. Start a car rental search and filter by 'Pickup' to find all the available collection options.
Airport terminal: Counters are inside or near the arrival terminal, making pickup quick and easy. Land, grab your luggage and be on your way.
Free shuttle bus: This collection option comes into play when the provider is close to the airport rather than at it. A free bus runs between the terminal and the rental site.
Meet and greet: A representative meets you at the terminal soon after you land. They hand over the keys and paperwork right there.
Prefer a pickup that keeps people and paperwork to a minimum? Some providers offer self-service pickup, letting you collect keys from a lockbox or kiosk.
Thrifty car rental at Rimini Airport: What you need to know
Transmission: Use the 'Transmission' filter to narrow down your options. Choose 'Automatic' if you don't want the hassle of changing gears or 'Manual' for traditional stick shift. Both are offered by most rental companies.
Fuel policy: Skip the extra costs by choosing a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You pick up the car full and return it full, so you pay only for the fuel you've used.
Mileage limits: Rentals with 'Unlimited mileage' give you the freedom to explore without worrying about added charges. Search for this option under the 'Policies' filter and travel freely.
Age requirements: The minimum age to rent a car in Italy is generally 21 years old. Rules can vary by provider, so always go over your rental company's policy to see what applies to you.
Side of the road: Traffic in Italy sticks to the right side of the road.
Speed limits: Make sure you follow the local speed limits. Usually that's 45kph in built-up areas and around 125kph on highways, unless signed otherwise.
Required documents: As a rule, bring your physical driver's licence and another form of photo ID when collecting your Thrifty car rental. Your booking will confirm exactly what's required.
Deposits and credit card: Providers often place a pre-authorised hold on a credit card for the security deposit. Debit cards are not always accepted at pickup, so it's a good idea to carry a credit card.
Insurance: Excess insurance isn't required, but you'll be glad to have it if something goes wrong. Not all insurance policies are equal, so check before you book.
Add ons: From navigation systems and reverse cameras to child seats, the right extras can make all the difference to your Thrifty car rental.
