What you need to know before you go

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

CarRentals.com strives to get you the best price, whether you reserve your car. However, reserving ahead of your trip can help you save even more. Make sure to check the mileage policy and don't add an extra driver to avoid any surprise fees.

What should I carry with me when I pick up my vehicle in Geelong?

You will need to bring credit card, as well as your driver's license.

How old do I have to be to rent a car in Geelong?

Budget's minimum age to rent a car in Geelong is 21. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles, may have an additional fee if you are under 25. Take time to review Budget's policy to know what the total cost is before you book.

Is there a particular vehicle I should get for my trip to Geelong?

That all depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Geelong. Economy or compact automobiles are good for short drives and are easier to park. If you are traveling with coworkers, then a SUV or mid-size vehicle is going to have more room for luggage and offer a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a bit of extravagance on their Geelong getaway can choose a higher-end model like a Mercedes C-Class or Audi A4 or similar.

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

You are required to have insurance before you rent a car in Australia. Although many of the major card issuers, like Visa or Discover, provide some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For instance, you may not be covered if you book a luxury or larger vehicle. Make sure to check credit card company's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can add on 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 reserve your rental car. Budget will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your vehicle for your trip. Please be aware that the deposit will vary greatly depending on the make and model of the rental.

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

We encourage a full tank policy. You pick up your Budget rental topped off. But, 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 3X the amount of current fuel prices to refill it. For a cheaper rate, it is best to find a gas station before you return the car to Budget.

Do I need unlimited miles when I drive in Geelong?

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

Does Budget offer one-way rentals in Geelong?

Budget offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it more convenient to drop off your rental at another location. However, there may be an additional fee when you choose one-way.
