Cross Border

Conditional:

Depending on which countries to bring the rental cars to, policies differ:
Mexico, Canada

A vehicle can be driven across the Canadian border at any time, no matter what location it was rented from. It is recommended to have PERS coverage when using vehicle in cross border rentals for the US and Canada. The renter must have a valid driver's license and rental record to cross the border into Canada. Canadian law does require that everyone entering the country have a passport, so everyone in the vehicle must have the proper identification. If a renter (including a Canadian resident) is driving a U.S. rented (and licensed in the U.S.) vehicle to Canada, it can only be driven across the border for up to 30 days unless an extension is requested from Customs at the time of entry.

Selection of the car was solid and the car was excellent except it needed window wiper fluid. Otherwise, it was spotless and flawless.

The line was actually pretty long—I waited almost 10 minutes before realizing I could just scan the QR code to pick up the car. It cost me about $25 more, but it saved my whole family from waiting around hungry for another hour, so it was totally worth it. I finished everything online, got the parking spot number right away, and then just walked over and drove off.

Thrifty rental review: real-world test of a Nissan Sentra for daily commuting Overall rating: (4/5) Car rented: Nissan Sentra or similar Location: Major US airport branches Price & booking: great bang for your buck Thrifty’s biggest selling point is definitely the price. After comparing with Hertz and Avis, Thrifty’s quote was clearly more competitive, especially if, like me, you only need a simple car to get around. The base rate was very reasonable, and booking through a third‑party site shaved the price down even further. Car condition: a solid, practical runabout I ended up with a Nissan Sentra. - Exterior & interior: The car was generally clean. There were a few minor scratches on the outside (pretty normal for rentals), but the interior was in decent shape and well maintained. - Driving experience: As a compact sedan, the Sentra is well‑suited for city driving and everyday commuting. Fuel economy was pleasantly good, and the seats were reasonably comfortable. For longer trips they can feel a bit on the thin side, but as a temporary, get‑you‑from‑A‑to‑B car, it does the job just fine.
