PART II. Thrifty Blue Chip rental term’s part ii. A. General provisions applicable to all thrifty blue-chip rentals
agreement; parties to agreement the terms and conditions appearing in this Part II. A. apply to all rentals using the Program by You.
For a rental to be a rental using the Program, you must be enrolled to use the Program in the country in which the rental is to commence. You must make a reservation for the rental in which You give Your Program membership number, and the rental must commence at a location at which Program service is available. Substitutions and exchanges of Cars rented using the Program, and extensions authorized by Thrifty of Program rentals beyond the due date for return of the Car, will also be Program rentals. Trucks and vans are not available for rental using the Program.
Rentals which do not use the Program will be governed by the Terms and Conditions for rentals at the facility at which the rental originates, which will be given to You at the commencement of the rental, and not by these Rental Terms. However, if the Terms and Conditions for rentals at the facility at which a non-Program rental commences are less permissive with respect to which persons may operate the Car than are the corresponding provisions of these Rental Terms for Program Rentals commencing in the country in which that facility is located, then renters enrolled to use the Program in that country will receive the benefit of the more permissive terms even when making a non-Program rental of a Car. For rentals in the United States and Canada by renters enrolled to use the Program in those countries, this means that the renter's spouse or domestic partner may operate the Car without registering as an Additional Authorized Operator or paying a fee, provided he or she is at least 25 years old and has a valid driver's license from a jurisdiction acceptable to Thrifty.
When You rent a private passenger motor vehicle, including all such vehicle's parts (a "Car"), using the Program (a "Program rental"), the Thrifty company or licensee providing the Car is called the "Renting Company." At the time of such a rental, you will receive a written document (called a "Rental Record" or "Rental Agreement") which contains specific terms of that rental and identifies the Renting Company; the Rental Record/Agreement may also contain other information pertaining to Car rentals in the jurisdiction in which the rental commences. The agreement governing such a rental (this "Agreement") will consist of (i) Your Enrolment for the country in which that rental commences, (ii) these General Provisions and the terms and conditions of these Rental Terms which are applicable to rentals in that country, as modified by Thrifty in the manner described in "Waiver Or Change Of Terms," below, (iii) the applicable Rental Record/Agreement (excluding, in the case of a Rental Agreement, the pre-printed general terms and conditions section thereof, if any) and (iv) any other documents which You are required to sign when You rent the Car. This Agreement is an agreement between You, on the one hand, and the Renting Company, on the other. The words "Thrifty," "we" and "us" mean the Enrolling Company and the Renting Company. This Agreement is entered into, and the rental of the Car using the Program commences, when You take possession of the Car.
If You rent a Car using the Program and Your Enrolment contains a counter discount program ("CDP") number and/or You request that an "ask for" rate plan apply to Your rental (also known as specifying an "RQ Code"), then the terms of the CDP program and the "ask for" rate plan may be inconsistent with each other or with other information contained in Your Enrolment. (For example, the "ask for" rate plan You specify may be an inclusive rate plan under which You will receive a damage waiver, while Your Enrolment or the terms of Your CDP may reflect that You decline a damage waiver.) In such an event, you authorize Thrifty to resolve the inconsistency in any manner that it in good faith determines, provided that the Rental Record/Agreement that You receive at the commencement of the rental reflects the resolution of the inconsistency that Thrifty has determined to effect. If You decide to change the optional services reflected on the Rental Record/Agreement, you may do so by advising a Thrifty representative of Your decision at the commencement of the rental and having the representative revise the Rental Record/Agreement to reflect Your elections.
Assignment and delegation
You may not assign Your rights or responsibilities as a member of the Program or Your rights or responsibilities under any agreement governing any Program rental. The Enrolling Company reserves the right to perform its obligations under Your Enrolment and any rentals using the Program through affiliated companies and licensees in the countries where the rentals commence, and You hereby acknowledge the right of such affiliated companies or licensees to subrogate to any or all of the rights of the Enrolling Company in relation to such rentals.
Waiver or change of terms
No term contained in any agreement governing any Program rental may be waived or changed, except in writing signed by an Blue Chip authorized representative of Thrifty. Except as provided in these Rental Terms, rental representatives are not authorized to waive or change any term of any agreement governing any Program rental.

It will be presumed that You have received any such notice mailed to Your address specified in Your Enrolment or otherwise provided by You to Thrifty. If applicable law allows such notices to be effective if sent using electronic records (for example, by email), it will also be presumed that You have received any such notice transmitted/sent to the address for electronic records (for example, the email address) specified in Your Enrolment or otherwise provided by You to Thrifty.

These Rental Terms may also be changed by Thrifty from time to time, without notice to You, if the change is made (i) to cure any ambiguity in the terms and conditions, to correct or supplement any provision of the terms and conditions that is inconsistent with any other provision or to add any provision with respect to matters or questions arising under the terms and conditions that is consistent with them, in each case provided that the change does not adversely affect You, or (ii) to modify, eliminate or add any provision to the extent necessary to make these Rental Terms comply with, and be enforceable under, applicable law.

If any provision of Your Enrolment or the agreement governing any Program rental conflicts with any applicable law or regulation in any jurisdiction, then that provision shall be deemed to be modified as to that jurisdiction (but, to the extent permitted by law, not elsewhere) to be consistent with such law or regulation, or to be deleted if modification is impossible, and shall not affect the remainder of Your Enrolment or such agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect. If any provision of Your Enrolment or such agreement is held to be so broad as to be unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then that provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is necessary for it to be enforceable as to such jurisdiction (but, to the extent permitted by law, not elsewhere).
You understand and agree that it is improper for you to file a lawsuit concerning your membership in the program or any program rental against any entity other than the enrolling company or, with respect to any particular program rental, the applicable renting company.

Currency conversion
For Program rentals outside Europe, Middle East and Africa, the following provision applies. If You use a credit, charge or debit card or stored value/prepaid/gift card to pay for rental charges that are denominated in the currency of one country and the card was issued in a country that uses a different currency, then, if it is permitted to do so by applicable law, Thrifty may (but will not be required to) convert the charges into the currency of the country in which the card was issued and process the charges in the converted currency. If Thrifty elects to convert such charges, then such charges will be converted into the currency of the country in which the card was issued on the date Thrifty or its agents forward the charges to Thrifty’ card processor at a rate set by Thrifty or an entity designated by Thrifty based on an interbank, tourist or (where required by law) official rate, increased in each instance by a currency conversion charge of up to 3%. This rate may differ from the rate in effect on the date the charges were incurred and may also differ from the rate You would pay if Thrifty were to forward the charges to the card’s issuer in the currency in which the charges were originally denominated.
Optional services
The optional services offered by Thrifty are subject to being discontinued or modified, and are subject to price changes, at any time without notice, and are subject to local availability. You should review the Rental Record/Agreement which You receive at the commencement of each rental. You may select different optional services from those specified in Your Enrolment by advising a Thrifty representative of Your decision at the commencement of the rental and having the Thrifty representative revise the Rental Record/Agreement to reflect Your elections.
Payments to intermediaries
If You arrange for a rental through a travel agent, Internet travel site, broker or other intermediary acting on Your behalf, Thrifty may pay commissions or other payments to that party to compensate it for arranging such rentals. That compensation may be based in part on the overall volume of business that party books with Thrifty. For details on such compensation, you should contact that party.

6. PAYMENT OF CHARGES
You and any person, corporation or other entity to whom, with Thrifty’ consent, You Blue Chiply direct the charges in any way incurred under this Agreement (“Charges”) to be billed, are jointly and severally responsible for payment of all Charges. If You direct Charges to be billed to any person, corporation or other entity, You represent that You are authorized to do so. Charges not paid on time as required by this Agreement may be subject to a late payment fee. You may also be charged a fee for any check (or cheque) used for payment of Charges that is returned to Thrifty unpaid or for any credit, charge, debit or stored value/prepaid/gift card charges which are not honored by the card issuer.
Payment for all Charges is due at the completion of the rental in cash or by a credit card, charge card, debit card or other device acceptable to Thrifty; however, special rules may apply for rentals which are paid for with prepaid vouchers or coupons—see below. You may be required to present a credit, charge or debit /check card at the commencement of the rental and to agree to permit Thrifty to bill Charges to that card. By providing a form of payment, You authorize Thrifty to perform a check on Your credit and/or other data sources that identify any risk associated with a rental of the Car by You. Thrifty may decline to rent based on this information. Stored value/prepaid/gift cards are not, and debit cards may not be, acceptable to qualify for rental, but both types of cards may be used for payment at return. Charges not known to Thrifty at the completion of the rental are payable by You, or by the person, corporation or other entity to whom such Charges are to be billed, immediately upon receipt of an invoice therefore or by billing to the first credit, charge or debit card specified in Your Enrollment which had available credit or funds at the time of rental (or against the first credit, charge or debit card specified in Your Enrollment which has sufficient available credit or funds to cover all charges at the time of billing), even if cash, another credit, charge or debit card or stored value/prepaid/gift card was used to pay for charges at the completion of the rental. The payment of Charges by use of a credit, charge, debit or stored value/prepaid/gift card is governed by the terms of Your agreement with the card issuer. YOU AUTHORIZE THRIFTY TO (1) AT THE TIME OF RENTAL, RESERVE CREDIT WITH, OR OBTAIN AN AUTHORIZATION FROM, THE ISSUER OF THE FIRST CREDIT, CHARGE OR DEBIT CARD SPECIFIED IN YOUR ENROLLMENT WHICH HAS AVAILABLE CREDIT OR FUNDS, IN AN AMOUNT THAT IS GREATER THAN THE ESTIMATED CHARGES,EXCLUSIVE OF ANY APPLICABLE DISCOUNTS OR PROMOTIONS THAT ARE APPLIED AT THE TIME OF RETURN AND (2) PROCESS ONE OR MORE VOUCHERS OR PAYMENT SLIPS AGAINST THAT CARD (OR AGAINST THE FIRST CARD SPECIFIED IN YOUR ENROLLMENT WHICH HAS SUFFICIENT AVAILABLE CREDIT OR FUNDS TO COVER ALL CHARGES AT THE TIME OF BILLING) FOR ALL ACTUAL
CHARGES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CHARGES FOR DAMAGE TO THE CAR, WHERE PERMITTED BY LAW) AT OR FOLLOWING THE COMPLETION OF THE RENTAL. IF A DEBIT CARD IS SPECIFIED IN YOUR ENROLLMENT OR IS USED TO QUALIFY FOR A RENTAL, THRIFTY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR OVERDRAFT CHARGES, OR FOR ANY OTHER LOSSES OR LIABILITIES WHICH YOU MAY INCUR, IN THE EVENT THAT YOU OVERDRAW YOUR ACCOUNT AFTER THRIFTY RECEIVES AN AUTHORIZATION AT THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE RENTAL, IF THE AUTHORIZATION EXCEEDS THE ACTUAL CHARGES INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE RENTAL. THERE MAY BE A DELAY BETWEEN THE TIME THAT THE CHARGES ARE RECEIVED BY YOUR CARD
ISSUER AND THE TIME THAT THE CARD ISSUER RELEASES THE EXCESS. Thrifty may audit all Charges. If any errors are found, You will pay the corrected Charges. If payment was by credit, charge or debit card, You authorize Thrifty to correct the Charges with the card issuer. Thrifty will notify You of any correction.
Thrifty may from time to time issue prepaid vouchers, coupons or credits represented either by documents or by entries in Thrifty’ records (“Vouchers”) which may be used to pay rental charges subject to the terms and conditions of the Vouchers. You must advise Thrifty when You make the reservation of Your intended use of a Voucher. Vouchers are to be submitted at the time that the Car is returned to Thrifty. Charges not covered by the Voucher, including Charges for optional services which You have selected in Your Enrollment, will be processed against the first credit, charge or debit card listed in Your Enrollment which has available credit or funds. Thrifty shall have no duty to issue Vouchers. Restrictions on the use of Vouchers may apply.
7. COMPUTATION OF CHARGES
a. TIME CHARGES are computed at the rates specified on the Rental Record for days, weeks, months, extra hours and extra days (including days in excess of any longer specified time period). THE MINIMUM RENTAL CHARGE IS FOR ONE RENTAL DAY. RENTAL DAYS CONSIST OF CONSECUTIVE 24HOUR PERIODS STARTING AT THE TIME THE RENTAL BEGINS, OR ANY PORTION OF A CALENDAR DAY, AS NOTED ON THE RENTAL RECORD. The extra hours rate shown on the Rental Record is charged for each full or partial hour in excess of a rental day until such extra hours’ charges equal the daily rate specified on the Rental Record for an extra day. RENTAL RATE IS SUBJECT TO INCREASE IF YOU RETURN THE CAR MORE THAN 24 HOURS BEFORE OR 24 HOURS AFTER THE SCHEDULED RETURN TIME, OR RETURN TO A LOCATION DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WAS SCHEDULED. LATE RETURNS BEYOND 30 MINUTE GRACE PERIOD SUBJECT TO EXTRA HOUR AND/OR EXTRA DAY CHARGES., As stated in paragraph 3, if the Car is returned after hours, charges may continue to accrue until the return location reopens for business. IF YOU FAIL TO COMPLY WITH ANY CONDITIONS SPECIFIED ON THE RENTAL RECORD APPLICABLE TO SPECIAL RATES, THRIFTY’ OTHERWISE APPLICABLE RENTAL RATES WILL BE CHARGED.
b. MILEAGE/KILOMETERAGE CHARGES, including those for extra miles/kilometers, if any, are based on the per mile/kilometer rate specified on the Rental Record. The number of miles/kilometers driven is determined by subtracting the Car’s odometer reading at the beginning of the rental from the reading when the Car is returned, excluding tenths of miles/kilometers. The per mile/kilometer rate is then multiplied by the number of miles/kilometers driven or, in the case of extra miles/kilometers, by the number of miles/kilometers in excess of the number of miles/kilometers allowed, as specified on the Rental Record. The result is the mileage/kilometerage Charge.
c. A SERVICE CHARGE may be applied if You return the Car to any location other than the location from which it is rented. Any change to Your reservation may impact the rental charges and rate. Rental charges may be higher if You make any change to Your rental, including a change to extend the rental, the drop-off location or return the Car prior to the scheduled return date.
d. LDW, PAI/PEC, ESP, and LIS, if applicable, are due and payable in full for each full or partial rental day, at the rates specified on the Rental Record.
TAXES, TAX REIMBURSEMENTS, VEHICLE LICENSING FEES, AIRPORT AND/OR HOTEL RELATED FEES AND FEE RECOVERIES, GOVERNMENTAL OR OTHER SURCHARGES AND SIMILAR FEES are charged/recovered at the rates specified on the Rental Record or as otherwise required by applicable law.
f. TOLL, PARKING & TRAFFIC OCCURRENCES/VIOLATIONS: YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR AND PAY ALL TOLL OCCURRENCES, ALL PARKING, TRAFFIC AND TOLL VIOLATIONS, OTHER EXPENSES AND PENALTIES, ALL TOWING, STORAGE AND IMPOUNDMENT FEES AND ALL TICKETS CHARGED TO THE CAR, ARISING OUT OF THE USE, POSSESSION OR OPERATION OF THE CAR BY YOU OR BY AN AUTHORIZED OPERATOR. You authorize Thrifty to release Your billing/rental information and charge or debit card information or billing account information and information regarding Your rental to American Traffic Solutions, Inc. and PlatePass, LLC, for the exclusive purpose of processing and billing for unpaid toll occurrences, and any violations, fines, penalties, and fees (and for PlatePass services, if utilized). You also agree to indemnify Thrifty and/or American Traffic Solutions, Inc. and PlatePass, LLC, if they pay same. You agree to pay, upon billing, applicable administrative fees related to the cost of paying for such toll occurrences or toll, parking or traffic violations and the cost of providing information about You to a court or governmental agency for each unpaid toll occurrence and each toll, parking or other citation incurred during Your rental. You further understand that Thrifty, American Traffic Solutions, Inc. and/or PlatePass, LLC may furnish information regarding You, including but not limited to Your name, address and driver’s license number to the governmental agency or court responsible for issuing or enforcing unpaid toll occurrences and toll, parking,or other citations that You incur during Your rental. For rentals in Hawaii, the amount of the administrative fee which You will be charged if Thrifty or American Traffic Solutions, Inc. is required to pay for such an infraction or toll occurrence is up to $29.00 per toll occurrence or citation. You are encouraged to pay directly to the court, county government or other appropriate agency the applicable tolls, fines, costs, monetary assessments, penalties, fees, surcharges or other charges.
e. RECOVERY EXPENSE consists of all costs of any kind incurred by Thrifty in recovering the Car either under this Agreement, or if it is seized by governmental authorities as a result of its use by You, any Authorized Operator or any other operator with Your, his or her permission, including, but not limited to, all attorneys’ fees and court costs.
f. COLLECTION EXPENSE consists of all costs of any kind incurred by Thrifty in collecting Charges from You or the person to whom they are billed, including, but not limited to, all attorneys’ fees and court costs.

Such invoice may be mailed either to Your or their address specified at time of rental, or Your or their billing address on file with Thrifty.
h. FINES AND OTHER EXPENSES include, but are not limited to, fines, penalties, attorneys’ fees and court costs assessed against or paid by Thrifty resulting from the use of the Car by You, any Authorized Operator or any other operator with Your, his or her permission.
i. CHARGES FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICES, such as an incar navigation system and infant and toddler car seats, if applicable, will be charged at the rates specified on the Rental Record. Charges for additional services, if stated on the Rental Record as a daily rate, are due and payable for each full or partial rental day.

This fee will be applied in addition to any increase in rate that may occur as a result of changing the drop off location or the timeframe of Your rental.
m. ANY OTHER CHARGES specified on the Rental Record will be charged at the applicable rates specified on the Rental Record. Any such charges which are stated on the Rental Record as a daily rate shall be due and payable for each full or partial rental day.

8. REFUELING OPTIONS
A. FOR RENTALS IN THE UNITED STATES. Most Thrifty rentals come with a full tank of gas, but that is not always the case. The refueling options are:
1. IF YOU DO NOT PURCHASE FUEL FROM THRIFTY AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR RENTAL AND YOU RETURN THE CAR WITH AT LEAST AS MUCH FUEL AS WAS IN IT WHEN YOU RECEIVED IT, You will not pay a charge for fuel.
a. For rentals from select locations: IF YOU DRIVE 75 MILES OR LESS, as determined by subtracting the Car’s odometer reading at the beginning of the rental from the reading when the Car is returned, excluding tenths of miles, YOU MUST PRODUCE A RECEIPT AT THE TIME OF RETURN INDICATING THAT FUEL WAS PURCHASED SO THAT THE CAR IS RETURNED WITH AT LEAST AS MUCH FUEL AS WAS IN IT WHEN YOU RECEIVED IT. If You drive 75 miles or less and You do not produce such a receipt at the time of return, You will be charged the ≤75 mile Fuel and Service Charge at the rate specified on the Rental Record, to the extent permitted by law.
2. IF YOU DO NOT PURCHASE FUEL FROM THRIFTY AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR RENTAL AND YOU RETURN THE CAR WITH LESS FUEL THAN WAS IN IT WHEN YOU RECEIVED IT, Thrifty will charge You a Fuel and Service Charge at the applicable permile/kilometer or pergallon rate specified on the Rental Record. However, for rentals from select locations, if You drive the car 75 miles or less You will be charged the ≤75 mile Fuel and Service Charge at the rate specified on the Rental Record, to the extent permitted by law.
a. The permile/kilometer rate is used if You do not buy fuel during the rental. To calculate this amount, Thrifty multiplies the number of miles driven as shown on the car’s odometer, times the per mile/kilometer rate shown on the Rental Record.
b. The pergallon rate is used if You buy fuel during the rental but the tank is not as full when You return the Car as when You received it. To calculate this amount Thrifty multiplies the number of gallons needed to refill the fuel tank to the level it was at when You received the Car, times the pergallon rate. ALTHOUGH TWO METHODS ARE USED FOR EASE OF CALCULATION, THE PER MILE/KILOMETER AND PERGALLON RATES PRODUCE APPROXIMATELY THE SAME RESULT.
3. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE FUEL FROM THRIFTY AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR RENTAL BY SELECTING THE FUEL PURCHASE OPTION, You will be charged as shown on the Rental Record for that purchase. IF YOU CHOOSE THIS OPTION, YOU WILL NOT INCUR AN ADDITIONAL FUEL
AND SERVICE CHARGE, BUT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY CREDIT FOR FUEL LEFT IN THE
TANK AT THE TIME OF RETURN, except in the following cases:
a. For rentals in Hawaii, if You return the Car with a full tank of fuel, You will receive a credit for the amount previously charged for the purchase of fuel from Thrifty.
b. If You drive the Car 75 miles or less from select locations, You will receive credit for the amount previously charged for the purchase of fuel from Thrifty and will be charged the ≤75 mile Fuel and Service Charge at the rate specified on the Rental Record, to the extent permitted by law.
EXCEPT FOR RENTALS AS TO WHICH CLAUSE (a) OR (b) OF SUBPARAGRAPH 8.(A)(3) BECOMES APPLICABLE, THE PERGALLON COST OF THE FUEL PURCHASE OPTION WILL ALWAYS BE LOWER THAN FUEL AND SERVICE CHARGE, BUT IF YOU ELECT THE FUEL PURCHASE OPTION YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE CREDIT FOR FUEL LEFT IN THE TANK AT THE TIME OF RETURN. THE COST OF REFUELING THE CAR YOURSELF AT THE LOCAL SERVICE STATION WILL GENERALLY BE LOWER THAN THE FUEL AND SERVICE CHARGE OR THE FUEL PURCHASE OPTION. HOWEVER, THE FUEL AND SERVICE CHARGE AND THE FUEL PURCHASE OPTION ALLOW FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF NOT HAVING TO STOP AND REFUEL THE CAR PRIOR TO RETURN.
A. FOR RENTALS IN CANADA. Most Thrifty rentals come with a full tank of gas, but that is not always the case. There are three refueling options:
1. IF YOU DO NOT PURCHASE FUEL FROM THRIFTY AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR RENTAL AND YOU RETURN THE CAR WITH AT LEAST AS MUCH FUEL AS WAS IN IT WHEN YOU RECEIVED IT, You will not pay a charge for fuel.
2. IF YOU DO NOT PURCHASE FUEL FROM THRIFTY AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR RENTAL AND YOU RETURN THE CAR WITH LESS FUEL THAN WAS IN IT WHEN YOU RECEIVED IT, Thrifty will charge You a Fuel and Service Charge at the applicable permile/kilometer or pergallon rate specified on the Rental Record.
a. The permile/kilometer rate is used if You do not buy fuel during the rental. To calculate this amount, Thrifty multiplies the number of miles driven as shown on the car’s odometer, times the per mile/kilometer rate shown on the Rental Record.
b. The pergallon rate is used if You buy fuel during the rental but the tank is not as full when You return the Car as when You received it. To calculate this amount Thrifty multiplies the number of gallons needed to refill the fuel tank to the level it was at when You received the Car, times the pergallon rate.
ALTHOUGH TWO METHODS ARE USED FOR EASE OF CALCULATION, THE PER MILE/KILOMETER AND PERGALLON RATES PRODUCE APPROXIMATELY THE SAME RESULT.
IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE FUEL FROM THRIFTY AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR RENTAL BY SELECTING THE FUEL PURCHASE OPTION, You will be charged as shown on the Rental Record for that purchase. IF YOU CHOOSE THIS OPTION, YOU WILL NOT INCUR AN ADDITIONAL FUEL AND SERVICE CHARGE, BUT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY CREDIT FOR FUEL LEFT IN THE TANK AT THE TIME OF RETURN, except if You drive the Car 100 miles or less and return it with less than a full tank of fuel, You will receive credit for the amount previously charged for the purchase of fuel from Thrifty and will be charged for the fuel used at the permile/kilometer rate shown on the Rental Record, but only if this will reduce the amount You pay for fuel. EXCEPT FOR RENTALS AS TO WHICH SUBPARAGRAPH 8.(B)(3) BECOMES APPLICABLE, THE PERGALLON COST OF THE FUEL PURCHASE OPTION WILL ALWAYS BE LOWER THAN FUEL AND SERVICE CHARGE, BUT IF YOU ELECT THE FUEL PURCHASE OPTION YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE CREDIT FOR FUEL LEFT IN THE TANK AT THE TIME OF RETURN. THE COST OF REFUELING THE CAR YOURSELF AT THE LOCAL SERVICE STATION WILL GENERALLY BE LOWER THAN THE FUEL AND SERVICE CHARGE OR THE FUEL PURCHASE OPTION. HOWEVER, THE FUEL AND SERVICE CHARGE AND THE FUEL PURCHASE OPTION ALLOW FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF NOT HAVING TO STOP AND REFUEL THE CAR PRIOR TO RETURN.
9. ARBITRATION PROVISION
THIS AGREEMENT REQUIRES ARBITRATION OR A SMALL CLAIMS COURT CASE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS. BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AGREE TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION.

If You seek $10,000 or less through arbitration, Thrifty will reimburse You for any AAA required filing fee. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief as well as money, but only in favor of and as warranted by the claim of the individual party seeking relief. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. An arbitration award and any judgment confirming it apply only to the specific parties in that case and cannot be used in any other case except to enforce the award itself. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of representative or class action. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO AGREE TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU MUST NOTIFY US IN WRITING WITHIN 30 DAYS OF YOUR RECEIPT OF THIS AGREEMENT BY EMAILING US AT no.arbitration@Thrifty.com OR BY MAIL TO Thrifty, 8501 Williams Road, Estero, FL 33928, Attn: Legal Department.
