Today, destination is Denver, a city of contrasts. Of course, to inspect the city you will need a car. The first question that arises after the decision to rent a car – what company to choose?
One of the most reliable car rental companies is Budget. It is a major US car distributor with 600 own points in the USA and 150 abroad (plus another 3,000 points operating under license). The service provided by the company uniquely makes it one of the market leaders.
Tariffs by default assume payment upon return of the machine. However, when you rent in the US and Canada, residents of these countries are also offered the opportunity to make a full prepayment when booking (and get a discount).
When you re-order a car in North America on Budget.com (if you take the car at least once a year) a small discount is automatically granted (10-20% of the total tariffs). To do this, you should register on the site and book all orders from your account.
Although Budget is a global network, but the lease terms for each specific point are different. This applies to the time of operation of the location, the availability of cars, the cost and terms of the lease, including the payment procedure.
Usually the best option is renting at the airport (if the point is not at the airport itself, then there is a free bus). The standard version of the time period – 24 hours, from 12 pm to 12 noon. In general, insurance is not mandatory. The company offers LDW, SLI and PAE – medical in case of death or injury.
Restrictions on miles. In all cases, when I took, there were no restrictions on the miles (but in some cases, perhaps, there may be, there for a kilometer will have to pay separately).
While getting the machine it is better to have a printout of the booking-reservation (if you choose budget car rental Denver online). You must give it to a manager. Next, for rent, you need a driver's license, a credit (debit) card, a passport (with a visa) For people under 25, the rent is more expensive.
However, despite the popularity of the company, there are several negative reviews:
“A new form of deception when renting a car in BUDGET is a full tank. To the amount shown in the booking, the cost of a full tank of gasoline is added. It is held if you return the car not with a full tank. I refueled it and returned being full – the money was not returned (79 euros).”
One more: “First I was given a car with an incomplete list of damages. When I returned the machine, they wrote off the deposit for a full tank, although I even showed the check, but they checked the fuel gauge in the car (65 euros extra)! They put a fine of 100 euros for a dirty car inside, although it rained, it was dirty, and there were no rugs in the car! When I called the rental office from the site where I rented the car, it turned out that I also had to pay 13 euro for rundown, although I drove a total of 580 km from the permitted 2000 km!”
Be careful when applying to car rental in Denver and good luck!
