Thrifty is the cheapest company at Memphis Airport for an Intermediate car, averaging £45 a day over the last 12 months from 1,091 prices, but you should allow for a 24-minute average desk wait. Thrifty accepts debit cards and scores 76/100 from 655 recent reviews, so the lower price does not require a credit-only counter. For an Intermediate car over the last 12 months, Hertz averages £54 a day from 1,756 prices, £9 more a day than Thrifty, and scores 83/100 from 520 reviews. Choose Hertz if that review difference matters to you, but check your car's card rule because Hertz accepts debit cards for some cars only.

The cheapest company can cost you a longer queue or a bigger deposit, so check the review score and desk wait beside each car in the results before you book.

At Memphis Airport, check card restrictions and allow time for the desk queue before arranging your onward plans, because an airport counter does not necessarily mean a quick collection. Thrifty averages a 24-minute desk wait and Avis 22 minutes, compared with 4 minutes at National, so factor the counter into your schedule. Avis requires a credit card; Hertz and Dollar accept debit cards for some cars only. If you intend to use a debit card, confirm the selected car's rule before booking.

Choose an Intermediate car, such as a Volkswagen Jetta, at Memphis Airport if its luggage capacity fits your party: it seats 5 but takes 3 bags and averages £44 a day for November 2026. Around a month before your November 2026 trip, a Compact car, such as a Nissan Versa, averages £41 a day, £3 less a day, with the same 3-bag capacity. A Fullsize car, such as a Chevrolet Malibu, averages £54 a day at that lead time and seats 7 but still takes only 3 bags, so the step up does not solve a luggage shortfall. Over the last 12 months, 100% of cars offered are automatic, so you do not need to select a dearer class to get an automatic gearbox. Neither electric nor hybrid cars are offered, so choose a conventional-engine car.
