TULSA, Okla. – Thrifty Car Rental celebrates the recent re-launch of its THRIFTY.com web site as “the place to check first for the best Thrifty rental rates” by giving away 92 weeks of free car rentals.
From March 1 – May 31, 2002, customers who visit THRIFTY.com can sign up for a chance to win one of 92 free week-long rentals in the U.S. (up to a minivan). Winners will be randomly drawn daily from among those who enroll in the sweepstakes. To enter, visit THRIFTY.com and follow the Sweepstakes entry instructions on the home page of the site.
“Due to the significant enhancements we’ve made to the THRIFTY.com site, we want customers to discover firsthand how easy it is to use,” said Brian Carpenter, Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Advertising for Thrifty Car Rental. “Ideally, we want everyone’s first thought to be ‘THRIFTY.com’ when shopping for car rental rates.”
As part of the recent enhancement, THRIFTY.com has improved the accessibility and ease-of-use of the reservations functionality of the site. An on-line chat feature has also been added, allowing customers the opportunity to talk by phone or via a live chat session with a reservations agent if they have questions or require additional assistance.
No purchase is necessary to participate. One winner will be selected at random each day beginning March 1 through May 31, 2002 from all eligible entries received by 5 p.m. (CT) that day. Each daily winner will receive one free week of car rental in the U.S. (economy, compact, midsize, full size or minivan). All taxes, fuel, insurance and other incidental charges are the winner’s responsibility. The sweepstakes is open to U.S. residents, 21 years or older, with a valid U.S. driver’s license. Only one entry per person and per e-mail address will be accepted. Non-winning entries each day remain eligible for subsequent drawings.
