Question 1

Should I purchase extra insurance when renting a Budget car at Umtata Airport, Umtata?

Accepted Answer

Every rental company requires valid insurance for financial security. Without it, Budget may refuse your rental.
Exceptions where insurance may not be necessary include: Existing coverage that applies to international rentals and matches your chosen car type/class. Additional insurance from your credit card provider that covers rentals abroad.
If you don't meet these criteria, purchasing some form of protection is essential. You can secure your deposit by purchasing Excess Fee Insurance during booking on our website, or opt for Full Coverage Insurance or Excess Reduction at the Budget rental counter.

Question 2

What is a one-way fee?

Accepted Answer

A one-way fee is charged if you return your car rental to a different location from where you picked it up. This fee covers the cost of transporting the car back to its original location. The fee amount varies based on the specific locations involved.

Question 6

What happens if you damage a rental car from Budget in Umtata Airport?

Accepted Answer

In case of damage to your Budget rental car at Umtata Airport, the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) will provide coverage. Ensure your insurance has zero excess. If your CDW includes an excess limit, you'll be responsible for part of the repair costs. Typically, you won't need to pay this separately, as the amount will be deducted from your deposit made when hiring a Budget car at UTT Airport.

Question 7

Can someone else drive my hire car?

Accepted Answer

You must add all extra drivers to your rental contract, in order to make sure everyone is covered by the insurance policy. If another person drives the rental but is not down as an additional driver, you will void the rental agreement and the insurance company may refuse to cover any physical damage to the vehicle.

Question 9

Does Budget require refueling in Umtata Airport, Umtata, South Africa?

Accepted Answer

The Budget fuel policy you select at Umtata Airport will determine your fueling responsibilities. With a full-to-full or same-to-same option, you need to return the car with the same amount of fuel it had at pickup. If not, you'll be charged for the missing fuel at a rate higher than the local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank. This means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, the cost will be higher overall since you'll be charged the local gas price minus a per-gallon discount, leading to an increased total cost.

Question 10

Is it better to hire a car at the airport?

Accepted Answer

Whether it's better to hire a car at the airport depends on your needs. Airport rentals offer convenience with immediate availability and a wider variety of cars, often with extended hours. However, they can be more expensive due to airport fees and higher demand, and they can be busy, leading to longer wait times. If convenience and variety are your priorities, airport rentals are a good choice. For cost savings, consider off-airport locations or city center rentals.
