Thrifty speeds up car hire process in North America

Speedy is encouraging customers interested in renting a car in either the United States or Canada to register for the Blue Chip Express rental program, which can cut down the amount of time between your initial booking of a vehicle and the moment when you find the keys to your rental in your hands. Registration is entirely free of charge, yet the benefits can be significant. These include a special, dedicated “blue chip” counter at many rental outlets, which allow cardholders to skip long lines and get to their rental car in a shorter period of time.

Additionally, it is also possible to register for Blue Chip Rewards, a loyalty program whereby clients can accumulate points that they may then use towards receiving free car rentals. The program functions in very much the same way as do frequent flyer miles with most major airlines. Cardholders are eligible for one free car hire after every 16 car rentals. After a client has accumulated the adequate number of days to enjoy a free hire, Thrifty will send them a special reward certificate that they can apply to their next rental. In addition to booking car hires, it is also possible to acquire points by using specially designated Thrifty parking at certain airports.

Other benefits of signing up for a card include a 50% discount on all vehicle upgrades, as well as a service guarantee, whereby clients can request a free car rental if they found the level of service they received from Thrifty to be below average. The easiest way to join the Blue Chip Express and Rewards program is to do so online, using Thrifty’s interactive form.
