Cheap Budget Car Hire in Madrid

Car-sharing services can be a flexible and cost-effective solution for brief journeys.

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.

Choose car hire suppliers with high ratings, as these often indicate better service, newer cars, and more convenient pickup locations. For Madrid, we have car hire deals from 42 suppliers. Among them, Budget has a rating of 4.5, Key'n Go has a rating of 4.7, Keyn_Go_by_Goldcar has a rating of 4.7 and Keddy_by_Europcar has a rating of 4.6.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

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.

When hiring a car in Madrid, 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.

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

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.
