You will need to bring your driver's permit and a credit card in your name.

What's San Antonio's minimum age to rent a car?

Budget's minimum age to rent a car in San Antonio is 21. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles (luxury, SUVs, etc.), may have an added fee if you are under 25. Make sure to check Budget's policy to find out if there is an additional cost for you.

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

That depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in San Antonio. For bigger cities, like San Antonio, you may find exploring and parking easier in a compact automobile. If you are traveling with coworkers, then a sedan or SUV will have more room and be a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a little extravagance on their San Antonio trip can choose a higher-end category like an Audi A4 or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Does the United States require car insurance?

You are required to have insurance before you rent in the United States. Many major credit card issuers (Discover, American Express, Visa and MasterCard) typically cover your car rental. However, many of them have prohibitions, such as not covering larger vehicles, like premium models or some SUVs. Make sure to find out exactly what your credit card will cover and how much before you head to San Antonio. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can book 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 should receive your car with full tank, and you should bring it back it filled up. For a cheaper rate, it is best to fill up your tank before you bring your car back to Budget. Stations near or around airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.
