Renting a Car from Budget in Melbourne: Good to Know

How to Find the Best Deals from Budget in Melbourne

Opt for a favourable fuel policy.

When hiring a car in Melbourne, 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.
Choose a cost-effective car hire fuel policy

Be prepared for card requirements at pickup

A credit card is often required for deposits, especially with suppliers like Budget in Melbourne. 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.
Search for debit card-friendly car hire

Choose Convenient Pickup Locations

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.
Find the best pickup locations

Consider Extra Equipment Options

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.
Check for added extras like GPS and child seats

Add a Second Driver

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.
Explore options for additional drivers

Consider Car Upgrades

If you're looking for more comfort or features, inquire about upgrade options at the rental desk. Sometimes, upgrades are offered at a discounted rate at pickup.
Explore upgrade options for comfort

Understand Rental Insurance Options

When renting a car, it's crucial to understand the different insurance options available. Selecting the right insurance can protect your finances in case of an accident. Common options include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and liability insurance, so make sure to confirm the required coverage with the provider.
Choose the right rental insurance

Understand how rental durations are charged.

When hiring a car in Melbourne, 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
