  • 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.

Fuel Policy

Should I bring the vehicle back with a full tank of fuel?
Yes. The vehicle will normally be supplied with a full tank of fuel. You must return it to us with the same amount of fuel it had in it when you picked it up,usually a full tank as shown on the factory-installed fuel gauge.  We recommend you fill up as close to the return location as you can on the return date, and keep the receipt to show us. If you don't return the vehicle with a full tank and you can't show us a receipt for fuel we will charge you.

Fuel Options

I plan to travel more than 160 kilometers, and want peace of mind, do you have a fuel option for me?
Yes, with Fuel Up Front you pay for a full tank of fuel, based on the manufacturer's stated fuel tank capacity for your vehicle plus our costs of refuelling the vehicle for you. Then you just return the vehicle with whatever's left in the tank (even if it's virtually empty) so long as the engine still runs.

How do I calculate the cost of Fuel Up Front?
Depending on where you're renting, we charge the average fuel price at the start of your rental period as stated on this EU fuel index. However, you don't get a refund for any fuel you don't use, unless you return the vehicle with a full tank of fuel, in which case we will refund the Fuel Up Front charge.

Can I get Fuel up Front at any time?
No, if you want to take advantage of Fuel Up Front, you must ask for it during the booking process or when you pick up the vehicle.

I plan to travel less than 160 kilometers, do I still need to fill up?
Yes, often the fuel gauges still look "full", so we ask you to fill up the tank near the return location and show us a copy of the receipt.  If you don't have time to fill up the tank, or can't show us a receipt, we will apply EZ Fuel to cover our costs of refuelling the vehicle for you. 

What are my options if I don't return the vehicle full and haven't bought Fuel up Front?
Pay on Return will apply if you have driven more than 75 miles and:

  • Don't buy fuel up front
  • Don't return the vehicle with a full tank

How do I calculate the cost of Pay on Return?
We charge the average fuel price at the end of the rental period for Sweden - 
as stated on this EU fuel index. The price per litre will be stated on your rental agreement – plus a processing fee of 30%. This charge covers our cost of driving to the nearest petrol station at short notice, and potentially delaying the next customer’s rental.
