Thrifty Car Rental, a subsidiary of Tulsa-based Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, has opened franchise facilities in Syracuse, N.Y., and San Luis Obispo, Calif.
The Syracuse facility is operated by Kris Tucci and Patrick Tucci of R.A.C. Holdings. The Tucci family has operated as an independent car rental operation in the Syracuse area for 35 years, previously under the name Americar.
The franchise in San Luis Obispo is owned and operated by Sarkis and Patricia Kasarjian and will specialize in local rentals and some insurance replacement business. The Kasarjians previously owned the Thrifty franchise in San Luis Obispo from 1988 through 1991 but sold the franchise in 1992.
