Thrifty Philippines | Travel and COVID-19 Prevention Measures

Whether you rent a car at the airport or at one of our neighborhood locations, we’re here to ensure your rental experience is just right. At Thrifty we strive to get you the absolute best car for your money, and our focus remains on ensuring you travel safely and confidently.

We are closely monitoring Coronavirus (COVID-19) and following the current guidance from the leading government and health authorities to ensure we are taking the right actions to protect our customers, employees and the communities where we operate.

Please also know that we continue to maintain our high standards for safety and cleanliness. In addition to practicing preventative measures to reduce the spread of germs within our facilities, all of our vehicles go through a rigorous, multi-step cleaning process for each rental. We are remaining vigilant in upholding these practices and will take additional precautions as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO) and local governments.

Your safety is our priority.

To help protect you – and help ensure the health and safety of everyone – we will start requiring customers and employees at our locations to wear masks effective March 2020. According to the CDC, masks help prevent the spread of Covid-19. Therefore, we ask you wear yours across all Thrifty touchpoints. This is one more step we’re taking to ensure your Thrifty rental is the safest way to travel. Before each rental our cars are cleaned and disinfected according to CDC guidelines following our multi-point cleaning process.

We have enhanced our cleaning practices:

• Around the world, we have enhanced our cleaning methods at our locations and our shuttle buses including using approved disinfectant to regularly wipe down high-touch areas such as door handles, counters, kiosks and other hard surfaces.
  
  
• We’ve added more alcohol-based hand sanitizers and are reminding employees to take important hygiene steps, including frequent handwashing and staying home if ill.
  
  
• Following CDC guidelines, our vehicles are cleaned and disinfected with our multi-point cleaning process:
