Choose an Economy Vehicle: The Most Cost-Effective Option
Economy cars are the most affordable and fuel-efficient vehicles in our fleet. Choosing one helps you limit expenses while exploring the island — a smart way to enjoy Réunion without overspending.
Book Early: A Winning Strategy
Rental rates fluctuate with demand. The earlier you book, the better your chances of securing a competitive price. Planning ahead is the best way to rent a car at the lowest rate.

Booking online is generally cheaper than renting in person. At Thrifty Réunion, you even receive an immediate automatic discount when you book through our website.
Pay with Holiday Vouchers (ANCV): A Convenient Option
If you have ANCV holiday vouchers, they can be used to pay for your rental, either partially or fully, directly at the agency, helping reduce the final cost.
Travel in the Low Season: Smart Timing
Rental prices vary by season. Outside school holidays and peak months, rates are more attractive. From January to July or in September, renting a car is cheaper and the island is less crowded.
