Cheap Budget Car Rental in San Salvador

Car rentals from Budget in San Salvador are charged per day. If you rent for more than 24 hours, you will be charged for an additional day, so plan accordingly.

A credit card is often required for deposits, especially with suppliers like Budget in San Salvador. If you only have a debit card, use our website filter to find suitable offers or consider obtaining a credit card. Ensure that the main driver’s card is used to avoid any additional fees.

Being aware of gas stations ensures you won't run low during your travels.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to San Salvador, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.

When renting a car in San Salvador, choose a car rental deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like Budget. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

When booking, check if the rental company offers extras such as GPS or child seats. These can enhance your driving experience but may incur additional costs, so it's wise to factor them into your budget.

If you are travelling to San Salvador and considering renting a car, choosing an in-terminal car rental supplier can save you time and hassle. Suppliers like Budget have locations right at the airport, allowing you to avoid shuttle buses or meet-and-greet services and ensuring a quicker and more convenient pickup.
