Cheap Budget Car Hire in Thunder Bay

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

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

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.

When hiring a car in Thunder Bay, be aware that rentals are charged per day. For instance, Budget charges per day, so if you rent for more than 24 hours, you’ll incur an additional day’s charge. Plan your hire period to avoid extra costs

Some rental agreements come with mileage limits, while others offer unlimited mileage. Make sure to review the mileage policy to avoid unexpected fees.

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.

A compact vehicle is easier to park and maneuver in congested city streets.

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