Frequently asked questions

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

We strive to get you the lowest rates, no matter when you book. But booking your car well ahead of your trip can help you save even more. Make sure to not add an additional driver and check the mileage policy to avoid any surprise fees.

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

You'll need to carry with you credit card, as well as your driver's license.

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

Budget's minimum age to rent a car in Hamburg is 18. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles (luxury, SUVs, etc.), may have an added fee if you are under 25. Make sure to review Budget's policy to determine what the total cost is before you book.

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

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

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

In Germany you do need to have insurance before you rent a car from Budget. Although many of the major card issuers, like MasterCard or Visa, 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. Additionally, as a United States citizen, you can book Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.

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

Budget requires a deposit when you reserve your rental car. Budget will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your vehicle for your trip to Hamburg. Please be aware that the deposit will vary greatly based on the make and model of the rental.

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

We encourage a full to full policy. You should receive your car with full tank, and you should return it with a full tank. If you want to save some money, it is best to find a filling station before you return the car to Budget.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

Hamburg certainly has its charms, but you may want to hit the road after you've checked off all the activities in Hamburg.

Can I get a one-way rental from Budget?

Budget offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it more convenient to return your vehicle at another Budget. However, there is typically an additional fee when you opt for one-way.
