Cheap Budget Car Hire in Durham

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

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.

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

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the vehicle's controls and features before driving off. Knowing how to operate essentials like headlights, wipers, and navigation systems can enhance safety and convenience.

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.

Always keep your rental agreement, identification, and insurance information easily accessible during your rental period. This can help resolve any issues quickly.

When hiring a car in Durham, choose a car hire 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.

A credit card is often required for deposits, especially with suppliers like Budget in Durham. 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.
