Budget Car Rental FAQs Budget Car Rental FAQs

The Budget Rent A Car Online Affiliate Program is a fast and easy way for your Web site to generate extra revenue. Once a member, you earn money by promoting Budget car rental through the approved links that we provide for you. Each time one of your visitors clicks on one of these links and completes the car rental reservation process at budget.com, you earn commission!

Budget pays all new car rental Affiliates 4% commission (based on time and mileage) for each completed car rental reservation referred from your Affiliate link. Higher commission rates are negotiable for high performers. As the number of completed car rentals that your site refers to our site increases, so can your commission.

It's simple. Once you advertise the Budget approved link on your site, you'll be paid a commission percentage each time a customer clicks on the link, reserves a car, and pays for their rental. We monitor all attribution and transactions through Partnerize, where as an affiliate you will have full access to promotional material, resources etc.

No, it's absolutely free to join the program!

You are responsible for promoting budget.com and our offers to your audience and for providing them with a link to visit our site.

When your links are placed in an easily accessible location, your visitors are more likely to click on them, which will lead to higher numbers of completed car rentals, and more commission opportunities for you!
