1) They've improved the way vehicles are displayed on the site. The “Our Cars” section now includes Flash images of vehicles complete with a 360-degree view for domestic vehicles. You can select from exterior or interior views, and you’ll also see a comprehensive list of car features. They also note both passenger and luggage capacity and fuel efficiency ratings for all of the vehicles in the fleet.
2) Location search at Thrifty.com now uses predictive text. With as little as three letters entered, the site will show suggestions for city and locations. This cuts down on the time it will take you to find the Thrifty location you need. Also, once you select a preferred location, you’ll be able to easily view all of Thrifty’s nearby locations, and see interactive maps for each specific location.
3) They’ve also improved the “Specials” section on the site. You’ll be able to sort promotional offers by specific location, domestic or international, and easily find deals that are offered in conjunction with airline, hotel and other partners.
4) Rates are updated and displayed in real time. As you add or remove options like child safety seats or GPS navigational systems, the rates are automatically recalculated as you go.
5) Overall, the site has been streamlined and refined so that you can speed through the selection and reservation process faster than ever before.
