No purchase is required to enter the sweepstakes, but winners must be a U.S. resident at least 21, have a valid U.S. driver's license, and meet certain car rental requirements.

Winners of the 85 daily prizes will be randomly drawn from among all entries received by 5 p.m. CDT that day. Non-winning entries remain eligible for future drawings. Each daily winner will receive one free week of car rental in the U.S., including economy, compact, mid-size, full size or minivan, subject to availability.

All taxes, fuel, optional insurance coverage and any other incidental charges are the sole responsibility of the winner. Winners must possess a credit card in their own name. Entries are limited to one per person. Additional details about the contest are available online at www.thrifty.com .
