Cheap Budget Car Hire in Ashford

Some zones may have driving limitations; make sure you’re aware of them.

If you are travelling to Ashford and considering hiring a car, choosing an in-terminal car hire 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.

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

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.

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