Considering the Thrifty franchise opportunity? Six questions to ask yourself before you fill out an application.

    As a prerequisite, Thrifty requires at least 5 years ownership or management experience in the automobile car rental industry in addition to strong extensive customer oriented service skills.

  2. How much time do I have to invest in a Thrifty franchise?

    This is not an absentee business. You must be committed to devote your full-time energies to this venture.

The actual amounts vary according to the specific location, size of the market, the amount of fleet and the number of locations. This sum does not represent the total investment to open and operate the franchise business.
