This Thrifty Car Rental in downtown San Diego's Middletown, an off-airport satellite of the Hertz Global Holdings network at 3338 Kettner Boulevard, shares its lot with a co-located Hertz counter, giving walk-in customers access to both the value and flagship tiers of the Hertz portfolio without the Rental Car Center shuttle loop. The Kettner corridor clusters several independent and franchise rental operators including California Car Rental, creating a multi-brand off-airport strip between San Diego International Airport and the Little Italy restaurant district on India Street. The fleet draws from Hertz Global's consolidated vehicle pipeline, giving this satellite branch access to the same economy sedan, compact SUV, and passenger van inventory deployed at the airport counter. Tire wear and brake service on high-mileage fleet vehicles route through local maintenance facilities like Evans Tire, which handles the alignment and tire replacement common on cars cycling through urban rental rotations. Insurance-replacement rentals requiring direct-bill coordination with third-party adjusters and extended-duration holds represent the branch's most administratively complex booking category.
