What you need to know before you go

How do I get a Darwin Budget car rental at a great rate?

CarRentals.com always tries to get you the lowest rates, whether you book. However, reserving ahead of time can help you save even more. Be sure to go over the mileage policy and keeping it to one driver will reduce your expense.

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

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

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

Budget's minimum age to rent a car in Darwin is 21. Take time to read through Budget's policy, as there may be additional fees if you are under 25 or for higher category cars in particular.

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

That all depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Darwin. Compact or economy cars are great for short commutes and are easier to park. If you are traveling with family or friends, then a SUV or mid-size vehicle will have more room for everyone's bags and provide a more comfortable ride on longer commutes. Those looking for a bit of extravagance on their Darwin trip can choose a higher-end model like a Cadillac or Audi or similar.

Do I need insurance when I rent a car in Australia?

In Australia you do need to have insurance before you rent from Budget. Although many of the major card issuers, like American Express or MasterCard, give some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, you may not be covered if you book a larger or luxury vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can also add on Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.

Do I need to pay a deposit when I book my Budget car rental?

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

Do I have to full up the tank before I take my car back to Budget?

We recommend a full tank policy. You should get into your vehicle with the needle at "F". If you return your rental with less than the amount that you received it with, most companies will charge a premium, and sometimes up to triple the amount of current gas prices to refill it. If you want to save some money, it is best to fill up your tank 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?

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

Can I get a one-way rental from Budget?

Budget typically offers one-way rentals. You may find it easier to return your vehicle at a different Budget. Be aware there is typically an additional fee when you choose one-way.
