You can describe such a person as being economical:
1 : marked by careful, efficient, and prudent use of resources : thrifty
// an economical shopper
(source: Merriam-Webster)
'resources' here includes money which is available to spend.

Thank you for your answer! If I have to name it, is it appropriate to say economical benefit seekers?– AriaCommented May 22, 2019 at 7:46

1If it's to be used in the car rental business (like your other questions), I'd prefer "economical consumers" or something. "Benefit seeker" has some negative connotations you probably want to avoid. Commented May 22, 2019 at 9:33
You could also use the word skinflint.
I would say bean counter.
From Urban Dictionary:
Beans are a cheap commodity, so to count them is a rather silly thing to do. A "bean counter" is one who nitpicks over small things in order to save costs. It is a derogatory term for accountants, bankers, and anyone who holds a financial interest in an endeavor.
