Cheap Budget Car Hire in Exeter

Knowing local laws helps prevent fines and makes your driving experience smoother.

Familiarize yourself with local habits to enhance your safety and compliance on the road.

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

When hiring a car in Exeter, 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.

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.

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

A credit card is often required for deposits, especially with suppliers like Budget in Exeter. 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.

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