Frequently asked questions

How do I get a Budapest Thrifty car rental at a great price?

CarRentals.com strives to get you the best rates, no matter when you reserve your vehicle. However, getting ahead of time can help keep spending low. Be sure to go over the mileage policy and don't add an extra driver to avoid any surprise fees.

Do I need to bring anything special when I get my vehicle in Budapest?

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

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

Thrifty's minimum age to rent a car in Budapest is 21. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles, may have an additional fee if you are under 25. Take time to check Thrifty's policy to find out if there is an additional cost before you book.

What kind of Thrifty rental car should I get for my trip to Budapest?

That all depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Budapest. Economy or compact vehicles are easier to park and great for short commutes. If you are traveling with a bigger group, then a sedan or SUV will have enough room for all of you and be a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a bit of extravagance on their Budapest vacation can choose a higher-end model like a Cadillac or Audi or similar.

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

In Hungary you do need to have insurance before you rent from Thrifty. Although many of the major card issuers, like Visa and MasterCard, offer some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For instance, they may not cover your rental car if you book a luxury or larger vehicle. Make sure to check credit card company's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can also purchase Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.

Does Thrifty require a deposit at the time of booking my rental car?

Thrifty requires a deposit when you book your rental car. Thrifty will block the deposit on your credit once you book your car for your trip. Please note that the deposit may vary greatly depending on the model and make of the vehicle.

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

We advise a full to full policy. You pick up your Thrifty rental topped off. However, 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 find a gas station before you bring it back to Thrifty.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

Budapest definitely has its charms, but you may want to hit the road again after you've checked off all the activities here.

Does Thrifty offer one-way rentals in Budapest?

Thrifty offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it more convenient to return your rental car at another location. Don't forget there is typically an additional fee when you pick one-way.
