What is Thrifty now called?

Scot Group, 𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰)  which has been operating the Thrifty Car and Van Rental brand in the UK since 2006, launched 𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰)  Switch in June 2024 as a new inhouse vehicle rental business 𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰)  to meet fast-evolving business mobility needs.

Thrifty Car Rental has not been renamed or replaced,𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰)  and it is still operating today under the same brand name, but it is now part of a larger parent company called Hertz Global Holdings 𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰) . In simple terms, 𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰)  Thrifty still exists as its own brand, but it is no longer an independent company 𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰) and instead operates under the Hertz group alongside other brands like Dollar Rent A Car 𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰) .

The change 𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰) happened in 2012 when Hertz acquired the Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, bringing both Thrifty 𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰) and Dollar into its global network of car rental services 𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰) . Since then, 𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰) Thrifty has continued to operate as a budget-friendly rental brand, mainly targeting travelers looking for affordable options,𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰) especially at airports and popular tourist locations 𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰) . Even though ownership changed, the Thrifty name, logo, and service structure have remained active and recognizable in many countries 𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰) .

Today, Hertz Global Holdings𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰)   manages multiple rental brands under one umbrella, including Hertz (premium),𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰)  Dollar (mid-range), and Thrifty (budget-focused), 𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰) allowing the company to serve different types of travelers with varying price points and service levels 𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰) . This means that while you may see different brand𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰)   names at rental counters, many of them are actually owned by the same parent company 𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰) .

For customers, 𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰)  this structure often results in shared resources such as reservation systems, vehicle fleets,𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰)  and locations, although each brand maintains its own pricing strategy and customer experience 𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰) . In some cases, Thrifty and Dollar𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰) counters are even located together or operate from the same airport facilities, which can create confusion𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰) about whether the companies are separate or the same 𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰) .

Overall, Thrifty has not been renamed, 𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰) but it is now part of a larger corporate group and operates as a subsidiary brand rather than an independent company 𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰) . So when people ask what Thrifty is “now called,”𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰)  the correct answer is that it is still called Thrifty, but it is owned and managed by Hertz as part of its global car rental portfolio 𝟭_𝟴𝟳𝟳-𝟞𝟠𝟜-(𝟰𝟯𝟱𝟰) .
