Cheap Budget Car Hire Deals at Berkeley Station, Berkeley

To save on refueling costs when departing from Berkeley Station, look for deals with a 'full to full' tank fuel policy, or even better, a free tank fuel policy, as opposed to a 'half-full to full' one.

Before traveling, familiarize yourself with local driving laws and regulations. This can help you avoid fines and ensure a safe driving experience.

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.

Bring along your driver's license, ID, and credit card, as these are required for the rental.

If you don’t find what you need at Berkeley Station with Budget, you might discover more car hire options in Berkeley, which can occasionally be cheaper. However, keep in mind that the additional cost of transferring from Airport to Berkeley might result in higher overall expenses compared to picking up your rental car directly at the airport.

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.

If options at the station are limited, check for other rental agencies nearby that might offer better deals.

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