How to order Thrifty hire vehicles (Australia & New Zealand)

Monash University has agreements with Thrifty Car Rental to provide competitive car rental rates within Australia. The University also has a separate agreement with Thrifty Car Rental (New Zealand) for hire of vehicles in New Zealand.

These rates are available to staff for both business and private purposes. The ordering of hire vehicles from Thrifty using the Monash University rates can be accessed in three ways -

1. Booking via Procurement Services (not available for Thrifty New Zealand)
2. Booking direct online using the Thrifty Internet site (Credit Card bookings only - for Australia & NZ)
3. Booking via your HRG or Voyager consultant (for Australia & NZ)

A Student Rewards program is offered to Monash University Students from selected Thrifty locations as shown here. As well as discounted rates, students receive a card on their first rental which gets stamped each time they rent. The card contains up to $500 worth of savings - from a day's free car hire to a $10 fuel voucher.

2. Internet bookings by credit card (for business or private use)

Bookings can be made directly on the Thrifty website using specially assigned "promotion codes" to ensure that the same competitive rates available to the University are accessed. All bookings via the Internet must be charged to a credit card - this can be the Monash University Corporate Procurement Mastercard (for business bookings) or a personal credit card for private bookings.

3. Booking via a HRG or Voyager consultant

The HRG and Voyager consultants are able to book you a rental vehicle using the Monash University rates. This may be of advantage when you are arranging air travel and hotel accommodation at the same time and it is convenient to book a rental vehicle on the same booking.

To book a rental vehicle via HRG or Voyager simply request the consultant to book you a vehicle at the Monash University rates.

Please note:

• HRG and Voyager charge a fee for their services and this will be added to your vehicle hire charge on your credit card. ( HRG fees / Voyager fees )

• Bookings via HRG or Voyager will require a credit card number to be nominated in order to confirm and hold the booking.

• If hiring a vehicle for pick-up at an overseas location, the Monash University rates with Thrifty do not apply. HRG and Voyager will offer you the most competitive rate from a range of hire companies to meet your overseas vehicle rental requirements.
