Frequently asked questions

CarRentals.com strives to get you the best rates, whether you reserve your vehicle. However, reserving your car ahead of time can help you save even more. Make sure to not add an additional driver and go over the mileage policy to avoid any surprise fees.

What do I need to bring when I pick up my car rental in Madrid?

You'll need to carry with you your driver's license and a credit card in your name.

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

Budget's minimum age to rent a car in Madrid is 21. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles (luxury, SUVs, etc.), may have an additional fee if you are under 25. Take time to read through Budget's policies to know what the total cost is for you.

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

That all depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Madrid. Compact or economy automobiles are ideal for short drives and are easier to park. If you are traveling with colleagues or family, then a SUV or mid-size vehicle will have enough room for all of you and provide a more comfortable ride on longer commutes. Those looking for a bit of extravagance on their vacation can choose the premium category to get a car like a Mercedes C-Class or Cadillac XTS or similar.

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

In Spain you do need to have insurance before you rent from Budget. Many of the major credit cards (American Express, Visa, MasterCard and Discover) usually cover your car rental. But many of them have limitations, such as not covering bigger vehicles, like trucks or SUVs. It is best to find out by calling your credit card company to find out what kind of coverage is offered before you head to . Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can also purchase Collision Damage Coverage through 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 reserve your vehicle for your trip to Madrid. Please be aware that the deposit may vary greatly based on the model and make of the vehicle.

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

We suggest a full tank policy. You pick up your Budget rental topped off. If you return the rental with less than the amount that you received it with, most companies will charge a premium to top it back off. For a cheaper rate, it is best to find a gas station before you return the car to Budget.

Should I get unlimited miles when I rent a car in Madrid?

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

Can I get a one-way rental from Budget?

Budget offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it easier to return your rental car at another Budget. However, there is typically an additional charge when you choose one-way.
