No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Thrifty booking in New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire 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)

Based on available data, Thrifty does not currently operate locations in New Hampshire. The state's car rental market is served by other brands, and no Thrifty airport or neighborhood counters are listed for New Hampshire at this time.

If you are set on booking through Thrifty for a New Hampshire trip, we recommend checking availability directly during the booking process, as partner networks and franchise arrangements can change. Hola Car Rentals connects customers with a wide network of partner brands, so if Thrifty is not available for your New Hampshire dates, comparable options from other partners may be shown for the same pickup location.

For the most accurate and up-to-date availability in New Hampshire, complete a search with your travel dates and pickup location to see which brands and rates are currently offered.

To pick up a Thrifty rental car in New Hampshire, you must bring the following physical documents to the counter:

• A valid, original driver's license in the main driver's name
• A major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card, used for the security deposit hold
• A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting from abroad

If your driver's license is not in English and does not use a Latin (Roman) alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is required alongside your original license. The IDP is a translation only and cannot be used without the original license.

All documents must be physical. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the Thrifty counter in New Hampshire or at any partner location. Name mismatches between your license, passport, and credit card are a common cause of problems at pickup, so verify all names match before you travel.

New Hampshire has several active toll roads you are likely to use when driving a Thrifty rental car through the state. The main toll corridors are:

• Blue Star Turnpike (I-95, from Seabrook to Portsmouth): maximum US$2.00 per car, or as low as US$1.40 with E-ZPass
• F.E. Everett Turnpike (I-93/293, from Nashua toward Concord): maximum US$1.00 per car, or US$0.70 with E-ZPass
• Spaulding Turnpike (NH 16, from Portsmouth toward Rochester): also part of the E-ZPass network

All New Hampshire toll roads use the E-ZPass electronic system. Cash lanes are available at some plazas, but E-ZPass lanes offer discounted rates. If you drive through an E-ZPass lane in your Thrifty rental without your own transponder, the rental company's toll program will typically auto-enroll your vehicle and charge the actual tolls plus a daily administrative fee.

For exact toll amounts on your planned route, use the official calculator at ezpassnh.com/toll-rate-calculator before your trip.

When driving a Thrifty rental car on New Hampshire toll roads such as the Blue Star Turnpike (I-95) or the F.E. Everett Turnpike (I-93/293), the vehicle will have an electronic toll device. If you use an E-ZPass lane without purchasing a toll package, the rental company will charge you the actual toll amount plus a daily administrative or processing fee at the end of your rental.

At pickup, you can choose to purchase an unlimited toll package, which typically costs between US$11 and US$25 per day depending on the partner and location. Alternatively, you can pay tolls manually at cash lanes where available to avoid program fees entirely.

All Hola Car Rentals bookings, including those for New Hampshire, include Tolls Cashback: you can get up to 5% of your total booking value back for tolls paid during your Thrifty rental. To claim, email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle and include your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation, the signed rental agreement, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid.

Refunds are issued to the original payment method and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval.

Yes, a major credit card in the main driver's name with the driver's name printed on the card is required for the security deposit hold on any Thrifty rental in New Hampshire.

At pickup, the Thrifty counter will place a temporary authorization hold on your card. This is not a charge, but it reduces your available credit until the hold is released after you return the vehicle. For standard cars rented in the United States, typical holds range from US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount depends on the vehicle class, location, and partner policy.

• Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the deposit hold
• Virtual or single-use card numbers are not accepted; you must present the physical card
• The card must be in the main driver's name, not a third party's name

Even if you prepaid your New Hampshire booking online, you must still present a physical credit card at the Thrifty counter. Bringing a backup credit card is recommended in case your primary card is declined. Allow up to 15 business days after returning the vehicle for your bank to release the hold.

In New Hampshire, the standard minimum age to rent a Thrifty car without additional surcharges is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 may be able to rent but will be subject to a young-renter surcharge, also called an underage fee.

For Thrifty specifically, the young-renter daily surcharge is US$13.50 per day plus applicable taxes, with a maximum charge of US$189 plus taxes per rental. Vehicle class restrictions also apply: drivers under 25 are generally limited to smaller categories such as economy, compact, and intermediate vehicles. Premium, luxury, full-size SUV, minivan, and convertible classes typically require the main driver to be at least 25.

• Drivers 21 to 24: eligible with a daily young-renter surcharge and class restrictions
• Drivers under 21: generally not eligible at most New Hampshire locations
• Drivers 25 and older: no underage surcharge applies

Note that New Hampshire is not one of the states (such as New York or Michigan) where law requires rentals to drivers aged 18 and older. Always confirm the exact surcharge amount and class availability for your specific New Hampshire pickup location at the time of booking.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Thrifty rental in New Hampshire, but a fee typically applies unless your booking confirmation explicitly states that an additional driver is included at no charge.

For Thrifty in New Hampshire, the additional driver fee is US$13.50 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum charge of US$189 plus taxes for the rental period. The additional driver must be present at the Thrifty counter at pickup with a valid driver's license and any required identification. They must also sign the rental agreement to be covered under the rental protections.

• The additional driver must meet the same minimum age requirements as the main driver
• For Thrifty, additional drivers should generally be at least 25 years old; younger drivers may face restrictions or additional surcharges
• Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by protections such as CDW/LDW

If someone drives the New Hampshire rental vehicle who is not listed on the agreement, coverage may be voided and additional charges could apply. Check your booking confirmation before arriving at the counter to confirm whether an additional driver is included or will be charged locally.

Most Hola Car Rentals bookings, including those for a Thrifty rental in New Hampshire, include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection. This benefit is particularly relevant if you are driving through more remote areas of New Hampshire, such as the White Mountains region, where access to services may be limited.

Core benefits typically include:

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

To reach assistance 24 hours a day, call +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or contact 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 benefit. It also does not cover damage to the Thrifty rental vehicle itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or third-party liability (covered by LIS/ALI/SLI). Always review your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your New Hampshire rental.

Thrifty rentals in New Hampshire follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy by default. This means you receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it with a full tank to avoid fuel charges.

• At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on the rental agreement
• Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge before driving away
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles or 15 km of the return location so the gauge does not drop below full before you arrive
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address

If you return the Thrifty vehicle in New Hampshire with less than a full tank, you may be charged for the fuel shortfall at the partner's refueling rate, which is typically higher than the retail pump price, plus a refueling service fee.

Some Thrifty counter locations may offer a Prepaid Fuel option at pickup. If you accept it, you pay for a full tank upfront and do not need to refuel before return, but any unused fuel is generally non-refundable. The Full-to-Full policy is almost always the better value if you plan to refuel near the return point.

The insurance and protection options included in your Thrifty rental in New Hampshire depend on the rate plan you selected at booking. It is important to review your booking confirmation carefully before arriving at the counter.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces your financial liability for damage to the Thrifty rental vehicle caused by a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero deductible. CDW/LDW does not cover damage to other vehicles or injuries to other people.

Third-Party Liability coverage (LIS/ALI/SLI) protects you against bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving the Thrifty rental in New Hampshire. In some U.S. states, a minimum level of liability is included by law, but this is not guaranteed in all cases. Hola Car Rentals strongly recommends adding Liability Insurance Supplementary (up to US$300,000) to your New Hampshire rental.

• CDW/LDW covers the rental vehicle only, not third parties
• LIS/ALI/SLI covers third parties, not the rental vehicle
• Personal injuries and personal belongings require separate coverage (PAI and PEC)

Always confirm what is listed on the rental agreement at the Thrifty counter before signing.

An International Driving Permit (IDP) is not always mandatory for renting a Thrifty car in New Hampshire, but it is strongly recommended in certain situations.

If your driver's license uses a non-Latin (non-Roman) alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script, an IDP is required alongside your original license. The Thrifty counter in New Hampshire will not accept a license in a non-Roman script without an accompanying IDP translation.

• If your license is in English or uses the Latin alphabet: an IDP is recommended but not mandatory
• If your license uses a non-Latin script: an IDP is required and must be presented with the original license
• The IDP is a translation document only and cannot be used as a standalone license

You must obtain your IDP in your home country before traveling to New Hampshire. U.S. issuers such as AAA do not issue IDPs to holders of non-U.S. licenses. All documents presented at the Thrifty counter must be physical originals; digital versions are not accepted.

If you are unsure whether your license qualifies, obtain an IDP before your trip to avoid any issues at the counter.

Yes, one-way rentals that allow you to pick up a Thrifty car in New Hampshire and return it in a different state are possible in many cases, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route.

Drop-off fees are route-specific and vary by rental company, the cities involved, the season, and the vehicle class. For Thrifty rentals, the fee is set by the partner and will be shown during the booking process under the section labeled as amounts due at the destination. It cannot be prepaid and is paid at the counter.

• Same-city airport to downtown routes often have no drop-off fee
• New Hampshire to a different state typically incurs a drop-off fee that varies by distance and vehicle class
• Premium and large vehicle classes may carry higher repositioning fees
• Cross-border rentals (for example, into Canada) may be restricted or require advance authorization

If you plan to drive your Thrifty rental from New Hampshire into neighboring states such as Massachusetts, Vermont, or Maine, confirm that cross-state driving is permitted under your rental agreement. Most standard U.S. rentals allow interstate driving, but always verify on your contract before departing.

If you return your Thrifty rental car in New Hampshire after the agreed drop-off time, a grace period of approximately 30 minutes typically applies, though this is not guaranteed at every location. If you exceed the grace period, Thrifty may charge you for additional hours or an extra rental day, plus a potential late fee.

• Grace period: approximately 30 minutes after the scheduled return time (varies by location)
• Beyond the grace period: charges for extra hours or a full additional day may apply
• Late fees may be added on top of the extra time charges

If you know you will be returning your New Hampshire Thrifty rental late, contact the rental location as early as possible. You can also request a formal extension through your booking to avoid late charges and ensure continued coverage under your rental protections.

For after-hours returns at New Hampshire locations, follow the key-drop instructions provided in your rental agreement. Be aware that liability for the vehicle may continue until the counter formally checks it in during business hours, so document the vehicle's condition with photos at the time of return.
