Blue Chip Rewards: how it works

Blue Chip is a savings jar with wheels: free to join, a credit for every rental day, a free day when sixteen pile up — and a bypass lane meanwhile.

  1. Join Blue Chip Rewards

    Free — number stored once

    • Licence and card stored once — the profile travels with you
    • No fee, no minimums — the stack starts at day one
    • Bypass lanes at the busiest airports, FLL included
  2. A credit per rental day

    from your first booking

    • A credit for every rental day, automatically
    • Add the number at Hola checkout — earning attaches itself
    • The desk just checks licence and voucher on bypass days
  3. 16 credits = 1 free day

    plus the counter bypass while you get there

    • Sixteen credits trade for a free rental day
    • Credits pool across trips — weekend runs count too
    • One number, every Thrifty counter, the same growing stack

Benefits follow Thrifty's published Blue Chip terms and can change. Booking through Hola? Add your number at checkout — credits and bypass apply where Thrifty honours partner rates.

Why one price beats nine quotes

The number you see is the number you pay.

Car rental is famous for counter surprises. Our AI compares every brand to find your lowest all-inclusive price, with every mandatory fee folded in up front. And if the counter ever charges something that wasn't on your confirmation, we get it removed or reimbursed.

  • No Extra Charges© guarantee

    If a counter ever bills you for something that wasn't on your confirmation, we get it removed or refunded — a written promise, not buried fine print.

  • One all-inclusive price

    Taxes, airport fees and your chosen protections are shown together before you book — never drip-fed at pickup.

  • Liability coverage up to US$300,000

    Eligible rates and itineraries include third-party liability cover up to US$300,000, so you're protected if something goes wrong on the road. Coverage and limits vary by rate — your exact terms are shown before you book.

  • Tolls cashback up to 5%

    Claim back up to 5% of your booking toward the tolls you pay during the rental.

The honest difference

Included with Hola. Extra everywhere else.

Most sites quote a tempting headline rate, then add coverage, fees and counter surprises. Our AI finds the lowest all-inclusive price across all nine brands — here's what each price really gets you, line by line.

Know the brand

Named after the saver's favourite adjective.

Kenneth Crabtree put the word on a sign in 1958 , and the idea never needed updating: same roads, smaller bill. Inside Hertz Global it plays the value seat next to Hertz and Dollar — with a rewards jar the other savers don't carry.

  • 1958the adjective, since 1958
  • Savings that stackcredits on every rental day
  • Blue Chip, free16 credits = a free day
  • 24/7Roadside and travel assistance on every booking
  • The 1958 idea Kenneth Crabtree opened it in 1958 and named it after the saver's favourite adjective — today it rides in Hertz Global alongside Hertz and Dollar.
  • Blue Chip, in one line Blue Chip is savings that stack: a credit per rental day, a free day at sixteen, and a bypass lane at the counter.
  • The FLL rows Value rows with the Hertz-family fleet behind them: economy through SUV, kept young.
  • The saver's arithmetic The thrifty way isn't less car — it's the same car with the maths done properly.
  • One-way Pick up at FLL, drop at MIA or up the coast — one-way fees print inside the quote, never at the counter.
  • Florida tolls South Florida is cashless: settle tolls through Hola's cashback and let the device fee stay on the shelf.

Our honest take: Thrift with a memory: every day driven counts toward the next one free. That is the whole pitch. See live Thrifty rates →

“The search was very easy and there were many options to choose from. Price wise was definitely better than any other car rental sites I’ve been on. Check out was not complicated at all and to have everything included in the price and in plain writing puts you to the top of the list. ”
