Cheap Thrifty Car Hire in Budapest

Renting away from bustling areas can lower costs and ease parking difficulties.

A credit card is often required for deposits, especially with suppliers like Thrifty in Budapest. 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.

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 driving away in Budapest, thoroughly inspect the car for any damage. Document any existing damage with photos or video to avoid disputes later on.

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.

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.

Car-sharing services can be a flexible and cost-effective solution for brief journeys.

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 Thrifty 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.
