Frequently asked questions

How do I get a Bordeaux Budget car rental at a great price?

We strive to get you the best price, whether you book. However, getting well ahead of your visit can help keep spending low. Make sure to go over the mileage policy and don't add an extra driver to avoid any surprise fees.

Do I need to bring anything special when I pick up my car rental in Bordeaux?

Be sure to carry with you credit card, as well as your driver's license.

What's Bordeaux's minimum age to rent a car?

Budget's minimum age to rent a car in Bordeaux is 21. Make sure to check Budget's policies, as there may be additional fees if you are under 25 or for higher category vehicles in particular.

Is there a particular car I should get for my trip to Bordeaux?

That depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Bordeaux. Economy or compact cars are easier to park and great for short drives. If you are traveling with coworkers, then a SUV or a sedan is going to have more room for luggage and be a more comfortable ride on longer drives. Those looking for a little extravagance on their Bordeaux trip can choose a higher-end vehicle like a Mercedes C-Class or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Does France require car insurance?

You are required to have insurance before you rent a car in France. Many major credit card issuers (MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover) usually cover your car rental. But many of them have limitations, such as not covering large vehicles, like trucks or SUVs. It is best to find out by calling your credit card company to find out what kind of coverage is offered before you head to Bordeaux. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can also add on Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.

Does Budget require a deposit at the time of booking my rental car?

Budget requires a deposit when you book your rental. Budget will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your rental for your trip. Please note that the deposit may vary greatly based on the make and model of the vehicle.

What is the fuel policy on my Budget car rental?

We encourage a full tank policy. You receive the vehicle with a full tank, and you will want to refuel up to the amount you picked the car up with. If you want to keep your expenses lower, it is best to find a filling station before you return the car to Budget. Stations close to airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

Bordeaux definitely has its charms, but you may want to take to the road after you've checked off all the activities in Bordeaux.

Does Bordeaux Budget offer one-way car rentals?

Budget typically offers one-way rentals. You may find it easier to drop off your rental at another Budget. Be aware there may be an additional fee when you choose one-way.
