Cheap Budget Car Hire in Auckland

Car hires from Budget in Auckland are charged per day. If you rent for more than 24 hours, you will be charged for an additional day, so plan accordingly.

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.

Before returning the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental company. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can streamline the process.

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.

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

If sharing driving responsibilities, check the policies regarding additional drivers. Some companies charge fees for each extra driver, while others may include it for free under certain conditions.

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.
