Thrifty wins industry award
Posted on: May 27th, 2008 by Dave SmithThrifty Car Rental has been awarded the Entrepreneur Magazine Business Travel Award for 2008 for Best Car Rental Value. This is the sixth time the company has won this award in the last fifteen.
Entrepreneur Magazine sought to pick out the companies who made life easier for travellers in a year where everything seemed to be going wrong. The magazine lauded Thrifty by saying, “Don’t confuse Thrifty (http://www.thrifty.com) with second- or third-tier car rental companies. This isn’t Rent A Wreck with pretensions.”
Thrifty now operates in 68 countries, and its services are some of the most modern in the business. In most of its North American rental locations, GPS navigation units are included. President and chief executive of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group Gary Paxton says, “Savvy business travelers looking to save money have always known that Thrifty Car Rental is the go-to company for great value. We appreciate getting Entrepreneur magazine’s official recommendation that Thrifty Car Rental be at the top of the consideration list for small- and mid-size companies.”
