If you want to see everything Cleveland has to offer, there is no better way to do so from behind the wheel of a rental car from Budget. Stop spending your vacation waiting on the bus, or being nickel and dimed with ride-shares or taxis. Having your own car allows you to go to the attractions you want to see the most, whenever you want. Make your next getaway to Ohio even more enjoyable with a Budget car rental.
With close to a quarter-million people, Cleveland is a city that has lots going on. Many tourists come to check out Cleveland's possibilities of entertainment. But you may have your eye on exploring the burgeoning art scene. No matter what you pick to do first, you'll want to take in as much of Cleveland as you can during your stay. And with your Budget rental car, you'll be able to see and do more of what this city offers.
CarRentals.com works with many of the top car rental dealers. Started during Los Angeles, California around 1958, Budget always strives to provide the best prices for their customers. With a name like Budget, you know this company will try to get you the cheapest rate.
We strive to get you the best rates, whether you reserve your car. However, booking ahead of time can help you save even more. Make sure to go over the mileage policy and don't add an extra driver to avoid any surprise fees.
You'll need to carry with you your driver's license and a credit card in your name.
Budget's minimum age to rent a car in Cleveland is 21. Make sure to review Budget's policies, as there could be limitations if you are under 25 or for higher category rentals in particular.
That depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Cleveland. Economy or compact automobiles are good for short commutes and are easier to park. If you are traveling with coworkers, then a SUV or mid-size vehicle is going to have enough room for all of you and provide a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a dash of extravagance on their Cleveland trip can choose the premium category to get a car like an Audi A4 or Cadillac XTS or similar.
In the United States you do need to have insurance before you rent from Budget. Many of the major credit card issuers (MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover) usually provide some coverage. But many of them have limitations, such as not covering large vehicles, like trucks or SUVs. It is best to call and find out exactly what your credit card will cover and how much before you head to Cleveland. Additionally, as a United States citizen, you can book Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.
Budget does require a deposit when you reserve your rental car. Budget will block the deposit on your credit once you book your vehicle for your trip. Please note that the deposit will vary greatly depending on the model and make of the car.
We advise a full tank policy. You pick up your Budget rental topped off. However, if you return your rental with less than the amount it was given to you, most companies will charge a premium, and sometimes up to 3X the amount of current fuel prices to refill it. If you want to keep your expenses lower, it is best to find a gas station before you bring your car back to Budget.
Cleveland has lots to keep you entertained, but you may want to head to nearby cities to find out what else Ohio has to offer. You can explore the rest of the region free of mileage limits after you've checked off all the activities in Cleveland.
Budget offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it easier to return your rental at a different location. Be aware there may be an additional charge when you choose one-way.
With so much to do and see in Cleveland, having the keys to your own vehicle lets you explore at your own pace. When you're ready to discover more of Ohio, you can leave wherever you like, without having to wait for the bus or hail a cab.
Before you head out of town, book your Budget Cleveland rental car and zip off to take in all the must-see sights at your leisure. Book through CarRentals.com and cruise the open road in Cleveland, Ohio.
