What are the Thrifty-specific deposit and license compliance requirements at the SeaTac Rental Car Facility?

When renting from Thrifty at the SeaTac Rental Car Facility, located at 3150 S 160th Street, renters must adhere to specific deposit and licensing guidelines. For driver's license compliance, a valid, physical government-issued license is mandatory. If the renter's primary license is printed in a non-Roman alphabet (such as Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, or Cyrillic), an International Driving Permit (IDP) is strictly required as a supplementary translation document; digital licenses or IDPs are not accepted. Regarding security deposits, Thrifty places a hold on the renter's credit card, which varies significantly by vehicle category. For compact and standard economy vehicles, the average security hold is $200. However, for premium vehicles, full-size SUVs, and specialty cars, the security hold increases substantially to an average of $500. Debit cards are accepted only for US residents with a return flight ticket, subject to a soft credit check. The authorization hold typically takes 5 to 10 business days to be released by the issuing bank after the vehicle is returned in good condition to the SeaTac facility.
