Thrifty Car Rental launched a new app for iPhone and iPod touch devices that allows customers to reserve rental cars as well as plan trips with the "Around Town City Guides."
The device was designed by the Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group team alongside partner FKQ Advertising+Marketing. It allows users to reserve vehicles at any Thrifty around the world, despite their current location.
The app also securely stores reservations and customer information so that users can get updated details about rental cars and add features such as car seats and GPS to their rental reservation.
Thrifty Blue Chip members can reserve rentals with negotiated rates using the app.
"Our specially-designed app for iPhone and iPod touch is another added convenience for Thrifty renters. We strive to always meet the changing preferences of our customers and have crafted our mobile strategy to do just that by enabling them to book quickly and easily while on the move," said Scott Thompson, Chairman, President and CEO of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc.
The "Around Town City Guides" give customers available deals on destinations and informs them of hotspots within the location they are traveling to. This feature helps customers plan hotel reservations, find restaurants, and locate other leisure activities within the area.
