It's important that your child has the safest journey possible when you choose a rental car. Thrifty offers a range of child safety seats that are suitable for babies and children at all of our rental car locations. Thrifty voluntarily complies with any state law which requires a child seat for a rental, and if the seat is mandatory, the counter will advise you at the time of rental.
