What is the Budget Online Affiliate Program?
The Budget Rent A Car Online Affiliate Program is a fast and easy way for your Web site to generate extra revenue. Once a member, you earn money by promoting Budget car rental through the approved links that we provide for you. Each time one of your visitors clicks on one of these links and completes the car rental reservation process at budget.com, you earn commission!

How much commission can I earn?
Budget pays all new car rental Affiliates 3% commission (based on time and mileage) for each completed car rental reservation referred from your Affiliate link. As the number of completed car rentals that your site refers to our site increases, so can your commission.

What is my responsibility as a Budget Online Affiliate?
You are responsible for promoting budget.com and our offers to your audience and for providing them with a link to visit our site.

I don't have a Web site yet. Can I apply to be an Affiliate?
No. As part of the application process we must be able to review your Web site, so it must be live at that time.

Can I become an Affiliate if my Web site is based outside of the United States?
Currently we are accepting sites based in the U.S. and Canada.
NOTE: The enrollment form is not set up for Canadian addresses. Canadian applicants must

Can I sign up more than one Web site?
Yes, you can have multiple sites under one Affiliate Account as long as they are different sites with separate URLs. Just contact us at budget.affiliateprogram@avisbudget.com and indicate the names and URLs of any additional sites that you wish to include in the program.

Where on my site should I place the links?
Position the links in a highly visible spot such as your homepage and/or all other high-traffic areas. When your links are placed in an easily accessible location, your visitors are more likely to click on them, which will lead to higher numbers of completed car rentals, and more commission opportunities for you!

How do I monitor my sales and calculate how much commission Ive earned?
Once approved, youll be given a user name and password to access the Budget Online Affiliate Toolbox. There youll be able to check your reports, including click-throughs, quotes and reservations. Our third-party processing Web site, NPC.com, will provide you with information on your commissions earned.

How does Budget track reservations originating from my site?
Once approved via the online enrollment process, each Affiliate is assigned an individual Affiliate ID and given approved links that contain a unique identifier. Every time your customer follows one of those links to budget.com, your unique URL is detected and we credit you with sending the customer to us. To ensure proper tracking, its important that you don't make any modifications to these links.
back to top
When will I be paid?
Commission checks will be mailed to the main contact listed on your program application approximately every two weeks (14 days). Commission is based on the completed rentals you refer to our site. It's that simple! In the event that the total monthly commission fees payable to you are less than three dollars (U.S. $3) for the applicable two-week period (Two-Week Minimum Threshold"), we will hold the payment until the overall total commission fees meet or exceed the two-week minimum threshold.
