Question 1

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

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.

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.

Question 4

Does Budget require refueling in East London Airport, East London, South Africa?

Accepted Answer

The Budget fuel policy you select at East London 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.
