Budget Car Rental Terms
BUDGET CAR RENTAL
Budget Rent a Car System Inc, is an American company founded in 1958 in Los Angeles, California, with operations located in Parsippany, New Jersey. Budget started with an original fleet of 10 cars, and developed its reputation by undercutting the daily rental rates of established airport based car rental companies. In 1960 the company moved its headquarters to Chicago Illinois and expanded their fleets with franchised and wholly owned rental outlets.
Team Rental Group purchased the public company in 1997 and took on the name Budget Group, then was sold to Cendant Corporation, which also owns Avis, in 2006, with the name changing to Avis Budget Group.
There are over 800 Budget locations in the US.

Budget Car Rental FAQs
Can I use a debit card at Budget car rental?
Renters over 24 years of age can use a debit card. Anyone between 21-24 will need a credit card, and will be limited on which vehicles they may rent.
What is the Budget rental car cancellation policy?
It is always free to cancel a rental car with Budget when booked through us.
What kind of cars do they have?
Budget Car Rental Airport locations carry a wide range of vehicles, right from the smallest economy sized cars to large vans capable of carrying 12-15 passengers. There are some luxury vehicles, 2 and 4 door wranglers, convertibles and virtually every size in between.
Can you return a Budget rental car to any location?
When you rent a vehicle with a pick up in one location, if you wish to drop it in another location on the same island, you must specify that when booking. Choose the drop off location as well. Some locations charge a “drop fee” to drop in a separate location. If you do not specify this, you may be charged more to drop unannounced at a different location.
Do they charge for mileage?
In Hawaii, Budget Car Rental locations do not charge for mileage. The islands are not very big, so you most likely would never drive farther than any mileage limit anyway.
Does Budget charge for additional drivers?
Yes, if the driver is not a spouse or domestic partner, you will pay for any additional drivers.
