• Your credit or debit card will be charged upon reservation confirmation. Method of prepayment toward your rental may not be changed after confirmation.
• Debit cards are not accepted at some Budget locations and are not a recommended form of prepayment.
• While a debit or prepaid charge card is an acceptable form of rental prepayment online, they may not be accepted for the credit hold required when you pick up your vehicle.
• Please review the terms and conditions on our confirmation page regarding credit or debit card acceptance at the location. To release the vehicle to you at time of pick-up, all rental terms and conditions must be met, regardless of your original prepayment.

• Budget is not responsible for any returned checks or overdrafts based on this policy.
• Your quoted rental rate is based on the exact parameters (locations, dates, etc.) of your particular rental - changing your confirmed reservation parameters could result in a different rate.
• There is no fee for making the following changes: vehicle type, options (GPS, protections, etc.), rental period dates/times, adding other drivers, switching between participating prepay pick-up locations within the same country. To change to a non-participating location or one outside of the original pick-up country, you must cancel your original reservation (with applicable cancellation fee) and re-book at then current rates.

• At time of rental pick-up, location rental qualification rules apply. The name on all rental credentials (license and credit or debit card) must match the name on the reservation.

Unless confirmed otherwise, the amount of the pre-authorisation taken on pick-up of the rental vehicle is calculated as follows:

The vehicle rental price + preauthorization amount which depends on the vehicle group (range between EUR 1,100.00 - 5,000.00) MINUS Any sum you have already paid when making a “Pay Now” booking.

* The "vehicle rental price" includes the vehicle rental cost and all optional extras you’ve requested, calculated at the start of the rental based on the intended length of the rental. For the avoidance of any doubt, any “Pay at Location” amount you owe in relation to the vehicle rental (including any optional extras) will be included as part of the pre-authorisation and will be charged to you at the end of the rental (using the card provided for the purposes of the pre-authorisation, unless agreed otherwise).

The pre-authorisation amount can be used in case we have to charge you at the end of the rental for any of the following:

i. costs to refuel the vehicle (where relevant).

ii. additional rental charges in circumstances where you fail to return the vehicle or any optional extras at the end of the agreed rental period or to the agreed return location.

iii. any additional charges or fines you incur relating to your use of the vehicle (which we have been notified of prior to you returning the vehicle, which will include, for example, charges relating to traffic violations); and/or

iv. costs incurred as a result of exceeding any relevant mileage restrictions.

Where the pre-authorisation we take does not cover the charges you incur, we will request you make a further payment for the additional amounts owed.

In relation to certain high value vehicles, we may require you to provide us with two payment cards for the purposes of the pre-authorisation. Where this is the case, this will be confirmed when making a booking.

If you'd like more details, please call our customer support team or ask a member of our team.

 Debit cards are accepted only if the debit card can be used for pre-authorisation before we release the vehicle to you.

Yes, but only if we have approved them. You may not let anyone drive the vehicle who hasn't been approved by us. This shall not apply if, through no fault of your own, you are unable to drive the vehicle and the vehicle must be driven to prevent an imminent danger (e.g., if you're in a medical emergency and you need to be taken to the hospital). We charge a fee for every Additional Driver we allow to drive the vehicle in amount of 9.00 EUR per day, 50.00 EUR per week, 90.00 EUR maximum. All costs are taxable.
