What you need to know for the road

How do I get the best prices on a Minneapolis Budget car rental?

We strive to get you the lowest price, no matter when you book. But booking ahead of time can help keep spending low. Make sure to keep the car under one driver's name and go over the mileage policy to avoid any surprise fees.

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

Make sure to bring your driver's permit and a credit card in your name.

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

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

What kind of Budget rental car should I get for my trip to Minneapolis?

That depends on how many people you are traveling with and what you'll be doing when you visit Minneapolis. Economy or compact vehicles are easier to park and great for short commutes. If you are traveling with coworkers, then a SUV or mid-size vehicle will have enough room for all of you and be a more comfortable ride on longer commutes. Those looking for a dash of extravagance on their Minneapolis getaway can choose the premium category for a car like a Mercedes C-Class or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Does the United States require car insurance?

In the United States you do need to have insurance before you rent a car. Many of the major credit cards (MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover) usually provide some coverage. But many of them have limitations, such as not covering larger vehicles, like trucks or SUVs. Make sure to call and find out exactly what your credit card will cover and how much before you head to Minneapolis. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can also 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 car for your trip. Please be aware that the deposit will vary greatly based on the make and model of the car.

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

At CarRentals.com, we encourage a full to full policy. You pick up your Budget rental with a full tank. If you return the rental with less than the amount it was given to you, most companies will charge a premium, and sometimes up to triple the amount of current fuel prices to refill it. For a cheaper rate, it is best to fill up your tank before you bring it back to Budget. Stations close to airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Should I get unlimited miles when I drive in Minneapolis?

Minneapolis has enough to keep you entertained, but you may want to head to nearby cities to find out what else Minnesota has to offer. You can explore the rest of the region free of mileage limits once you've checked off all the activities in Minneapolis.

Does Budget offer one-way rentals in Minneapolis?

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