What you need to know about car rentals

How do I get the best deals on a Brisbane Budget car rental?

CarRentals.com strives to get you the lowest rates, whether you book. However, reserving your car well ahead of your visit can help keep spending low. Be sure to read the mileage policy and don't add an extra driver to avoid any surprise fees.

Do I need to bring anything special when I get my rental car in Brisbane?

Be sure to bring credit card, as well as your driver's license.

What is the minimum age to rent a car in Brisbane?

Budget's minimum age to rent a car in Brisbane is 21. Make sure to check Budget's policies, as there could be limitations if you are under 25 or for higher category vehicles especially.

What kind of Budget rental car should I get for my trip to Brisbane?

That depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Brisbane. Economy or compact automobiles are easier to park and good for short commutes. If you are traveling with coworkers, then a SUV or mid-size vehicle will have enough room for all of you and offer a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a bit of extravagance on their Brisbane trip can choose a higher-end car model like a Mercedes C-Class or Audi A4 or similar.

Is insurance required when you rent a car in Australia?

You are required to have insurance before you rent a car in Australia. Many of the major credit cards (American Express, Visa, MasterCard and Discover) typically cover your car rental. However, many of them have restrictions, such as not covering larger vehicles, like trucks or SUVs. Make sure to call your credit card company and find out what kind of coverage is offered before you head to Brisbane. Additionally, as a U.S. citizen, you can book Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.

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

Budget does require a deposit when you book your rental. Budget will block the deposit on your credit once you book your rental for your trip to Brisbane. Please be aware that the deposit can vary greatly based on the make and model of the vehicle.

Do I have to return my Budget rental with a full tank?

At CarRentals.com, we suggest a full tank policy. You pick up your Budget rental 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 fill up your tank before you bring it back to Budget. Stations close to airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Should I get unlimited miles when I drive in Brisbane?

Brisbane definitely has its charms, but you may want to hit the road again after you've checked off all the activities here.

Does Budget offer one-way rentals in Brisbane?

Budget usually offers one-way rentals. You may find it easier to return your vehicle at another location. Don't forget there is typically an additional fee when you pick one-way.
