Budget Car Hire in Ecuador

Most car hire deals with Budget in Ecuador include some level of insurance, but it’s essential to verify that the coverage meets your needs. Consider protection against theft, third-party liability, and breakdown assistance. Be sure to review the insurance details of your chosen deal when you search.

Some rental companies offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be sure to understand the terms, including how much fuel you need to return the car with and any potential fees for not meeting these conditions.

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

Choosing the right mileage and fuel policy can make a big difference. Opt for a full-to-full fuel policy to avoid refuelling before your journey. If you're planning a long road trip, select a deal with unlimited mileage to prevent unexpected charges. Begin your search and check 'Unlimited mileage' under 'Mileagae Policies'.

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.

Before finalizing your booking, check if the rental company offers free cancellation. This can provide peace of mind if your travel plans change unexpectedly.

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.

Select a pickup location that is convenient for you. Some rental companies offer locations within the airport for quick access, while others may require shuttle transportation.
