What you need to know before you go

Be sure to carry with you your driver's permit and a credit card in your name.

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

That depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Raleigh. Economy or compact cars are good 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 more room for everyone's bags and provide a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a little extravagance on their Raleigh trip can choose the premium category to get a car like an Audi A4 or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Do I need insurance when I 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 of the major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover) usually provide some coverage. However, many of them have limitations, such as not covering bigger vehicles, like premium models or some SUVs. It is best to call and find out exactly what your credit card will cover and how much before you head to Raleigh. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can add on Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

What is the fuel policy on my Budget car rental?

At CarRentals.com, we recommend a full tank policy. You pick up your Budget rental with a full tank, and you will want to refuel up to the amount you picked the car up with. For a cheaper rate, it is best to find a gas station before you bring it back to Budget.
