No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Thrifty booking in Naples are clearly shown at the time of reservation and in your confirmation email, so you know exactly what you are paying before you arrive at the Thrifty counter.

On top of that, every Hola Car Rentals booking includes the No Extra Charges© guarantee. This is a pricing guarantee (not insurance) that protects you if the Thrifty counter in Naples charges you for something that was not listed on your confirmation and was not an optional add-on you accepted. If that happens, Hola Car Rentals will work with Thrifty to remove or reimburse the charge after verification.

The only costs outside this guarantee are:

• Optional add-ons you choose at the counter (GPS, child seats, prepaid fuel)
• Usage-based charges (tolls, fuel shortfall, traffic fines)

The Thrifty counter at Naples Municipal Airport (APF) is located inside the terminal building at 560 Terminal Drive, Naples, FL 34104. No shuttle or tram is required, you walk directly from the arrivals area to the counter following the car rental signs inside the terminal.

Counter hours at this Thrifty location in Naples are 08:00 to 18:00 daily. If your flight lands close to or after 18:00, plan accordingly, as no after-hours pickup option is confirmed at this location. Allow roughly 20 to 45 minutes from baggage claim to driving away, depending on queue length and document processing.

Yes, Thrifty operates a second location in Naples at 850 Seagate Drive, Naples, FL 34103, known as the Thrifty Neighborhood Location TSH Naples Seagate. This off-airport site is separate from the Naples Municipal Airport terminal counter.

Because this Thrifty location in Naples is not on airport grounds, it typically avoids the concession recovery fees charged at the airport counter, which can make base rates 10 to 20 percent lower depending on dates and vehicle class. However, you will need your own transportation to reach 850 Seagate Drive at pickup.

Key differences to keep in mind when choosing between the two Naples Thrifty locations:

• Airport (560 Terminal Drive): walk-up counter inside the terminal, convenient for arrivals, but airport fees apply
• Seagate Drive (850 Seagate Dr): off-airport, potentially lower base rate, no terminal access

Always compare both options during booking to find the best total price for your Naples rental.

To collect your Thrifty rental in Naples, you must bring the following physical documents, digital copies are not accepted at the counter:

• Original, unexpired driver's license in the main driver's name
• International Driving Permit (IDP) if your license uses a non-Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic, the IDP is a translation only and must be carried alongside your original license
• A major credit card physically printed with the main driver's name, for the security deposit hold
• Passport or valid government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets (required for visitors traveling from abroad)

At the Thrifty counter in Naples, the rental agreement is governed by Thrifty's desk requirements and Florida law. Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security hold. If your license is in English or issued by an EU/EEA country, an IDP is generally not required, but it is always a good precaution to carry one.

Florida's toll roads are almost entirely cashless, and your Thrifty rental in Naples will include an electronic toll device or a plate-based billing system. When driving around Naples and the wider Southwest Florida region, you may encounter toll roads including the Florida Turnpike and other state expressways.

At the Thrifty counter in Naples you will typically have two options:

• Unlimited toll package: approximately US$13.99 per day or US$69.95 per week, covering all tolls during your rental period
• Pay per use: Thrifty bills you the actual toll amount plus daily or administrative processing fees after the rental ends, charges can appear days or weeks later

If you prefer to manage tolls yourself, you can opt out of the Thrifty program at the Naples counter and purchase Florida's own visitor toll pass. If you do this, ask the agent to deactivate the vehicle's default device to avoid duplicate charges.

There are no congestion charges or emissions zones in Naples or anywhere in Florida, tolls are standard road fees only.

All bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include Tolls Cashback, which lets you recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid. Submit your claim to [email protected] within 30 days of returning your Naples Thrifty rental.

Yes, a major credit card is required to rent from Thrifty in Naples. The card must be physically present at the counter, printed with the main driver's name, and have sufficient available credit to cover the security deposit hold.

For a standard vehicle rented in the United States, the typical hold is around US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount is set by Thrifty at the Naples counter and may vary by vehicle class or season. The hold is a temporary authorization, not a charge, and is released after you return the car, your bank controls how quickly it clears, which can take up to 15 business days.

• Debit cards are not accepted for the deposit hold
• Prepaid or virtual cards are not accepted
• The card must belong to the main driver, a third party's card is not permitted

Even if you prepaid your Naples Thrifty booking online, you must still present a physical credit card at pickup. Bringing a backup credit card in your own name is always a good idea in case your primary card is declined.

The minimum age to rent from Thrifty in Naples without a young-driver surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will be charged a daily young-renter fee at the Naples Thrifty counter.

For Thrifty in the United States, the young-renter surcharge is approximately US$13.50 per rental day, with a maximum cap of US$189. Drivers under 21 are generally not permitted to rent.

Additional restrictions that apply to under-25 renters at the Naples Thrifty location include:

• Vehicle class limits, premium, luxury, full-size SUV, minivan, and convertible categories are typically restricted to drivers 25 and older
• Economy, compact, and intermediate SUV classes are usually available to younger renters

Note that Thrifty in Naples may also apply a senior driver policy for renters over 70, confirm this at the counter. All standard document and credit card requirements apply regardless of age.

Thrifty uses a Full-to-Full fuel policy for Naples rentals. You receive the car with a full tank and must return it full to avoid refueling charges.

To avoid fuel fees on your Naples Thrifty rental:

• Check the fuel gauge with the agent at pickup and confirm the starting level is recorded on the rental agreement
• Take a photo of the dashboard showing the gauge and odometer
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location, either the Naples Municipal Airport counter at 560 Terminal Drive or the Seagate Drive location, and keep your receipt

If you return the car below the recorded level, Thrifty will charge you for the fuel shortfall at their own refueling rate, which is typically higher than pump prices, plus a service fee.

Note that ongoing road construction in Naples can cause unexpected detours near return locations, so allow extra time to find a fuel station and refuel before dropping off your Thrifty rental.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Thrifty rental in Naples, but the additional driver must be physically present at the counter at pickup with a valid driver's license to sign the rental agreement.

Whether the additional driver fee is included depends on the rate you booked. If it is not included, Thrifty charges approximately US$13.50 per rental day for an additional driver in Naples, with a maximum cap of US$189 for the rental period.

Important rules for adding a driver to your Naples Thrifty rental:

• The additional driver must meet the same minimum age requirements, under-25 drivers may incur a young-renter surcharge or be restricted from certain vehicle classes
• For Thrifty, additional drivers should generally be at least 25 years old to avoid extra fees
• The additional driver must bring their own driver's license and IDP if required
• Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by the vehicle's protections, anyone not named on the contract is not authorized to drive

Check your booking confirmation before arriving at the Naples Thrifty counter to see whether an additional driver is already included in your rate.

Naples has several road conditions that can catch first-time renters off guard, especially if you are arriving from abroad and picking up your Thrifty rental at Naples Municipal Airport.

Key things to be aware of when driving in Naples:

• Extensive road construction is ongoing across the city, including widening projects on Vanderbilt Beach Road, I-75, and Randall Boulevard. Expect detours, lane shifts, and temporary closures that may not appear on GPS navigation
• Seasonal traffic surges occur from November through April when the snowbird population arrives, causing significant congestion on east-west routes like Golden Gate Parkway and north-south corridors like Wilson Boulevard
• Some intersections such as Rattlesnake Hammock Road have been reconfigured to prohibit certain left turns, creating unfamiliar right-turn-only patterns
• Smaller city-maintained streets, particularly in areas like Oyster Bay, can have pothole and surface hazards requiring careful low-speed driving
• School-hour backups at intersections like Randall and Immokalee Road are significantly worse than off-peak periods

Speed enforcement in Naples follows standard Florida state norms, with Florida Highway Patrol active on I-75. There are no congestion charges or emissions zones anywhere in Naples or Florida. Plan extra time when returning your Thrifty rental to account for construction-related detours near the Naples airport.

Most bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, which can be valuable if you experience a medical emergency or other covered incident while driving your Thrifty rental around Naples or on Florida highways.

Coverage typically includes:

• Travel insurance with medical coverage for up to 5 passengers
• Legal assistance in the event of a road accident
• Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
• Flight cancellation insurance

If you need emergency assistance during your Naples Thrifty rental, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day at +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.

Important: this travel assistance benefit applies only to non-North American customers. Residents of the United States and Canada do not qualify for this coverage. It also does not cover damage to the Thrifty rental vehicle itself, that is handled by CDW/LDW, or third-party liability to others.

Check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your Naples rental.

Yes, one-way rentals are possible with Thrifty, allowing you to pick up in Naples and return the car to a different location, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route.

When booking a one-way Thrifty rental from Naples, the drop-off fee will be shown on the booking details page under the section labeled as charges due at destination. This fee is set by Thrifty and varies based on the destination city, distance, vehicle class, and season.

• Naples to another Florida city (such as Miami or Orlando): a drop-off fee typically applies and will be shown at checkout
• Same-city airport to downtown Naples or vice versa: often no drop-off fee, but confirm during booking
• Cross-state or long-distance one-ways: fees are usually higher and some routes may not be available

The drop-off fee cannot be prepaid and is not covered by No Extra Charges© unless it was not disclosed during booking. If you need to change your return location after booking your Naples Thrifty rental, contact support as the fee may be recalculated.

The insurance included with your Thrifty rental in Naples depends on the rate plan you selected when booking through Hola Car Rentals. It is important to review your confirmation carefully before arriving at the Naples Thrifty counter.

The two main protections to understand are:

• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the Thrifty rental vehicle itself. A deductible may apply unless your plan states zero. This does not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or people
• Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving. In Florida, not all rental rates automatically include supplemental liability above the state minimum, check your confirmation and consider adding this coverage

Neither CDW/LDW nor LIS covers your personal injuries (that requires PAI) or your belongings (that requires PEC). CDW/LDW also typically excludes tires, the undercarriage, and roof damage.

At the Naples Thrifty counter, only drivers named on the rental agreement are covered. Adding all drivers at pickup is essential to ensure protections remain valid throughout your Naples rental.

The Thrifty counter at Naples Municipal Airport operates from 08:00 to 18:00 daily. If your flight arrives after 18:00, the counter will be closed and no confirmed after-hours pickup option is available at this Naples location.

To avoid problems with your Thrifty rental in Naples:

• Book a flight that arrives before 18:00 to ensure the counter is open when you land at Naples Municipal Airport
• If your flight is delayed by less than 24 hours from your original pickup time, Thrifty will hold your reservation, but you must arrive during operating hours to collect the car
• If your delay exceeds 24 hours, contact Hola Car Rentals support via WhatsApp at +1 (786) 999-8312 or email [email protected] as soon as possible, as changes are not guaranteed
• Consider whether the Thrifty Seagate Drive location at 850 Seagate Drive, Naples, FL 34103 has different operating hours that better suit your arrival schedule

Always confirm the exact counter hours on your booking confirmation before traveling to Naples, as hours may change on public holidays.
