4 days, compact/economy, around $450 total in the confirmation email with under-25 fees included. The booking page also says “Liability Protection” and “Protect the car”.

What’s weird is that if I try to book the exact same thing now, even from another browser/account, prices are easily 2-3x higher.

Also noticed that when I open the booking from the email link, the total drops to about $312, but I guess that version just doesn’t show taxes/airport fees/young driver fee.

So now I’m trying to understand if i genuinely got lucky with timing or if Thrifty is about to cook me alive at the counter with extra charges

Coming from Europe so I have zero experience with US rental companies lol.
Anyone rented from Thrifty at ORD recently?
