Stow & Go
Always be cautious. Try to park your rental car in a well-lit, public area. Take your portable GPS and other small electronics and accessories with you when leaving the car. If you cannot take them with you, store valuables in the glove compartment or trunk. Always double check to be sure the rental car is locked!

Refueling Options
|
|
 |
Everybody likes choices! Now you can decide whether to refill your own rental car fuel tank or leave the refueling to us.
If you'd like us to refuel the car for you at reduced per-gallon prices (at participating locations), simply select "Fuel service option" as a rental option in Step 3 of the online car rental reservation process. In this case, the fuel price would not be included in your reservation total. You would simply need to agree to the prevailing market fuel rate and pay at rental time.

Child Safety/Booster Seats & Ski Racks
|
|
 |
There's no substitute for safety, especially when you're transporting children. Each time you reserve a Budget rental car, be sure to request a safety seat for each youngster traveling with you. Child safety seats are about $13USD per day with a maximum of $65 USD per car rental. Always use a rear-facing infant seat for an infant up to 22 pounds; toddler seat for a child up to 40 pounds; and child booster seat for a child over 40 pounds. Due to liability issues, Budget personnel are not permitted to install child safety seats into vehicles for customers.
At corporate-operated locations, if your child safety seat reservation is made 48 hours prior to pick up, we guarantee availability. Within 48 hours of pick up and at licensee-owned locations, your request will be held with your reservation, but child seat rental is made on a first-come, first-served basis. In that case, availability is not guaranteed.
To reserve a child safety seat, simply select one as a rental option in Step 3 of the online car rental reservation process.
The rental cost and availability of car ski racks varies by location, but usually averages about $7 USD per day. Budget.com displays availability and the cost of the ski rack at your chosen location in Step 3 of the online car rental reservation process.

iPod Car Chargers and MP3 Accessories
|
|
 |
Some Budget cars are equipped with manufacturer-installed MP3 accessories such as iPod car chargers and compatible docks at no extra charge. Due to limited supply, these vehicles are not reservable – but if you make a request when you pick up your rental car, we’ll make every effort!
