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!

GPS Navigation

Where2™ provides step-by-step guidance to addresses, hotels and attractions while you're en route — all with a touch of the screen.

Child Safety Seats and Booster Seats

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. Your next happy trip begins with buckling up the kids!

Child safety seats are about $13 USD 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.
