Cheap Autonom Car Hire in Budapest

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

If you are travelling to Budapest and considering hiring a car, choosing an in-terminal car hire supplier can save you time and hassle. Suppliers like Autonom 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.

Using a GPS or navigation app can help you avoid traffic jams and find efficient routes.

When hiring a car in Budapest, be aware that rentals are charged per day. For instance, Autonom 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

When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving in Budapest by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Suppliers like Autonom typically offer a grace period of 30-60 minutes. Providing your flight number can be helpful, but if you’re running late, be sure to call the supplier to inform them.

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.

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.

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