PORT ADELAIDE players will take to the field this season with the distinctive Thrifty logo on their shorts as part of a new partnership with the Australian car rental company.

Thrifty, voted number one for hire cars in 2017 by Canstar, has signed on to become a Premier Partner of Port Adelaide and the club’s official car hire partner.

The partnership also includes Thrifty’s logo appearing on the club’s media backdrop.

In welcoming Thrifty, Port Adelaide chief executive Keith Thomas said the club was delighted to have on board a great national company that shared similar community values.

“The Port Adelaide Football Club is thrilled to welcome Thrifty on board as a Premier Partner in 2018,” said Mr Thomas.

“As Australia’s number one rental company for hire cars Thrifty has an outstanding reputation for delivering excellence and great results for their customers so we are very proud to welcome them on board.

“Like Port Adelaide, Thrifty also has a great sense of corporate social responsibility especially towards Indigenous Australians as the preferred car rental company for Supply Nation, a non-profit organisation that grows the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander business enterprise sector by promoting supplier diversity in Australia.

“We look forward to exploring opportunities as to how Thrifty can assist with the delivery of our industry-leading Aboriginal Programs, especially in remote areas such as the APY Lands and Barkly region.”



Thrifty CEO Tom Mooney said it was an honour to partner with Port Adelaide Football Club and the wider AFL community in opening up access to and participation in sporting events.

"At Thrifty we are passionate about creating positive change and our partnership with Port Adelaide will allow those involved to participate more easily in community through sporting events,” Mr Mooney said.

“We are excited about working with Port Adelaide to assist in delivering their industry leading Aboriginal Programs, improving access to mobility is at the core of what we do and opens up meaningful opportunities to not only reach sporting events, but also education, employment, family and friends.

“This partnership fits in the heart of our approach to boosting sustainable communities.”

RAA is Port Adelaide’s Membership Partner and Thrifty is also the exclusive and proud car rental provider to them.
