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.

Although the counter is not as large as Alamo's, it's still good to use. The key thing is the price is a bit cheaper.

The Thrifty car rental service at this airport has relatively good service. However, they can be somewhat misleading by claiming that the road insurance is mandatory for everyone. During my second rental, I unknowingly paid for it. But subsequent rentals with Thrifty didn't have this issue. I now think there might have been a problem with that particular car, which is why they suggested I buy it.

The car we received was a Kia, thoroughly cleaned and a brand-new 2024 model with just over 20,000 kilometers driven. Returning the car was straightforward—simply park it at the airport parking lot. Everything went smoothly!

Pickup and drop-off processes were very efficient. They didn't try to upsell anything, just asked about insurance and E-pass. When I said I didn't need them, they processed it right away without further discussion.
