Frequently asked questions

How do I get the best rates on a Pittsburgh Budget car rental?

CarRentals.com always tries to get you the lowest price, no matter when you reserve your vehicle. But reserving ahead of time can help you save even more. Be sure to read the mileage policy and don't add an extra driver to avoid any surprise fees.

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

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

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

Budget's minimum age to rent a car in Pittsburgh is 21. Make sure to check Budget's policy, as there could be limitations if you are under 25 or for higher category vehicles especially.

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

That all depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Pittsburgh. Economy or compact cars are ideal for short drives and are easier to park. If you are traveling with family or friends, then a mid-size vehicle or SUV will have enough room for all of you and offer a more comfortable ride on longer trips. Those looking for a touch of extravagance on their Pittsburgh trip can choose the premium category for a car like a Mercedes C-Class or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Is insurance required when you rent a car in the United States?

In the United States you do need to have insurance before you rent a car from Budget. Many major credit card issuers (MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover) usually cover your car rental. However, many of them have limitations, such as not covering bigger vehicles, like premium models or some 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 Pittsburgh. Otherwise, as a U.S. 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 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 Pittsburgh. Please note that the deposit can 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 receive the vehicle with a full tank. But, if you return the 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. To avoid any added expenses, it is best to fill up your tank before you return the car to Budget. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

Pittsburgh has lots to keep you entertained, but you may want to drive to nearby cities to see what else Pennsylvania has to offer. You can explore the rest of the area free of mileage limits once you've had a night out in Pittsburgh's downtown or spent an evening out in Pittsburgh's downtown. If you want to add a little fun to your Pittsburgh trip, you can also drive to Sandcastle and enjoy a night taking on the park's attractions.

Can I get a one-way rental from Budget?

Budget usually offers one-way rentals. You may find it more convenient to drop off your rental at a different Budget. Don't forget there is typically an additional charge when you opt for one-way.
