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?

If 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.
