Top tips for hiring a car from Budget in Houston

  • If you are a member of the Fastbreak program with Budget, you will be allowed to bypass any long lines in order to receive faster, more efficient service. This is especially true when you book Budget car rentals in Houston from the location at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH.) At the IAH Arrivals curb, find and get on the Budget bus and the bus driver will take Fastbreak members to the Fastbreak Canopy. At the Canopy, you simply locate your name on the monitor and go to the designated area where your vehicle will be. Choose a vehicle in that area and go to the exit booth, where you will present your driver's license before you are allowed to exit and explore Houston in your Budget rental.
  • When you book Budget car rentals in Houston, most locations offer free cancellation as long as you cancel before your scheduled pickup time. You can also purchase $75,000 of insurance with a $0 deductible for about $11 a day. This insurance covers collision, vandalism, theft, fire, and hail. Also, additional drivers can be covered for no extra charge. When you book Budget car rentals in Houston, you'll usually need a credit card to pick up the car that you rent and you will have unlimited free miles included in your rental. Baby car seats and special requests can be accommodated for an extra free.
  • If you are in Houston and need to rent a car in order to get to Galveston, you can book Budget car rentals in Houston in the direction of Galveston. Just to the southeast of Houston, the Budget location at 141 North Friendswood Drive is ideal. This location is just off the I-45, which heads straight across Galveston Bay and on to Galveston Island. This agency is open weekdays from 7:30 am until 6 pm, and open on weekends from 9 am to 1 pm.
  • The Budget car rental location at 855 Knight road is open daily from 7:30 am until 6 pm, and on weekends from 9 am until 1 pm. However, plan carefully if you intend to rent a car or return a car at this location on a Sunday. This rental agency is right next to the NRG Stadium where the NFL team the Houston Texans play football. The streets around this Budget rental car location will be congested with traffic on Sundays when there is a home game. Even if it is a game later in the day, fans generally arrive at the stadium parking lot to tailgate usually much earlier than kickoff time.

I chose a supplier choice vehicle for a 300 mile one way . When I got there they advised me my ONLY choice would be an electric vehicle . I let them k ow that I’m not comfortable with an electric vehicle nor do I have time to recharge it or the know how . They offered me the cheapest car in America for an upgrade fee.Reviewed 18 Oct 2024

When booking with Kayak.. I got a good rate at 400. avg.. When I arrived to Budget.. It doubled the amount. SO no. I would not be using Kayak for future car rentals. Also, budget doesn't use 3rd party insurance. It's either yours or theirs (Budget)Reviewed 18 Jun 2024
