Rent a Car at Freeland-Mbs Intl Airport (MBS)

Acceptance of Loss Damage Waiver relieves the renter and authorized additional drivers of financial responsibility if the Budget car is damaged or stolen while under rental contract.  Using the vehicle in violation of any of the use restrictions listed on the rental agreement could void LDW and leave the renter fully responsible for any damage to the vehicle.
LDW is not available in all states and certain restrictions may apply in some states.  At the time of rental, the customer must initial whether he/she accepts or declines the LDW and/or other optional services.  LDW and other optional services must be signed for at the rental counter.
If LDW is not accepted, the customer may be responsible for up to the full fair market value of the car if it is damaged, vandalized or stolen during the rental.  The customer may also be responsible for reimbursing Budget for the revenue lost by not being able to use the car while it is being repaired or not recovered due to theft (referred to as Loss Of Use).

Budget accepts most major credit cards as credit identification at the time of rental.  The renter's name must be on the credit card.

Accepted credit card list: Budget Charge Card, Budget International, American Express, Diner's Club, Diner's Club International, Discover, China UnionPay, JCB, MasterCard, Optima, and Visa.  Some locations may not accept each of the referenced cards.

 

You may be subject to a credit check or present additional identification.  Acceptable forms of additional identification are:  Valid passport or travel visa, military identification, birth certificate, marriage license, ATM card with customer name printed on face of card, health care identification card with customer’s name printed on face of card or company/college/university identification with a photograph.  In some cases, you may be required to present an alternate credit card.

 

Budget may request an authorization hold against your account for the estimated rental charges of the rental, but reserves the right in its sole discretion to request an extra value to be based on certain factors as we deem appropriate:

• Most rentals may require an authorization hold of the estimated rental charges plus $200.00 USD.
• If you have prepaid the rental, the hold amount will be $250.00 USD.

While this hold is in place, the funds will not be available for your use.  When the rental is over, we will process the reversal, but the bank may take time to post it back to the account.

 

Note: Prepaid credit cards are not acceptable methods of credit identification to pick up a car at any location.  One of the above mentioned cards must be presented.  Prepaid credit cards are accepted at time of return only, if we can obtain full authorization from the card bank for the total charges due.

Participating locations will accept a Debit card, however, it must have an accepted bank processing logo (Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, Discover, etc) at the time of rental if you are at least 25 years of agewith the following requirements:

• Renter must be at least 25 years of age.
• The name of the renter must be on the debit card.
• A debit card is accepted as credit identification for Economy cars, Compact cars, Intermediate cars, Standard cars, Full-size cars, Intermediate SUV's, or Standard SUV's.  The rental of any other vehicle category will require a major credit card.
• At airport locations, you will be required to present proof of a return airline ticket that coincides with your rental.  You will be subject to a credit check to determine creditworthiness.
• At off-airport locations, a current copy (within the last 60 days) of the customer's cellular phone bill, home telephone bill, bank statement or utility bill is also required.  The address on the statement or bill must match the address on the renter's driver's license
• You will be subject to a credit check to determine and ensure credit worthiness before releasing the car to you.  If your credit file is frozen with Equifax, you will be required to lift the restriction prior to your rental.  Lifting the restriction does not guarantee that you will be able to rent a vehicle as you will still be subject to a credit check.

 

Budget will generally request an authorization hold against your account for the estimated charges of the rental but reserves the right in its sole discretion, to request an extra value to be based on certain factors as we deem appropriate:

• Rentals of 1-3 days will require an authorization hold of the estimated rental charges plus $200.00 USD.
• Rentals of 4 days or more will require an authorization hold of the estimated rental charges plus $300.00 USD.
• If you have prepaid the rental with a debit card, the hold is $250.00 USD.

THESE FUNDS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR USE.  Upon returning the vehicle, Budget will process a release of the unused portion of the hold subject to your bank's procedures.  The hold may take up to 2 weeks to be released by your bank.  If you fail to return the vehicle as agreed, Budget will obtain additional authorizations from your account to cover the rental charges.  Budget is not responsible for any returned checks or over-drafts based on this policy.

 

Positive identification in addition to your driver's license may be required.

 

Note: Prepaid Debit/Gift cards are not acceptable methods of credit identification to pick up a car at any location.  One of the above mentioned cards must be presented.  Prepaid Debit/Gift cards are accepted at time of return only, if we can obtain full authorization from the card bank for the total charges due.

At time of rental, driver must present a valid drivers license in the drivers name.  All drivers must have a safe driving record.  You may be asked to sign a driving record addendum or be subject to a computerized Department of Motor Vehicles check.  Based upon such search, Budget reserves the right to deny a rental opportunity.  Customers with a drivers license in a non-Roman alphabet may be asked to present an international driving permit (IDP) for translation purposes.

All additional drivers must be at least 25 years of age. The fee for each additional driver is $13/day with a maximum charge of $65 per rental.  The following are exempt from the fee but must meet all other driver requirements:  the renter's employer or fellow employee when on company business and renting under a corporate account; the renter's spouse or domestic partner; the companion driver of a renter with a disability who has completed the non-licensed renter form; for insurance replacement rentals, company employees or family members who are designated on the insurance policy.  All other additional drivers must complete and sign an additional driver form and present valid credit identification. A maximum of two additional drivers may complete a form.

Additional Fees

• Except for a surcharge for renters under 25 years of age at some locations, your total rental rate is calculated based on the information provided at time of reservation.  The rate is based on the exact parameters (location, dates, etc.) of your particular rental, so changing any of your confirmed reservation parameters could result in different rates, taxes and fees.
• Quoted taxes and fees are subject to change which will affect your final total due at rental return.
• Vehicles are rented on a daily (24-hour) basis with a 29-minute grace period for returns. After 30 minutes late, a 3/4-day late charge + $.01 + taxes apply.  After 90 minutes late, full-day late charges + taxes apply.

  • Most savings are reflected in your quoted rate.  If your rental meets all coupon terms, any additional rate adjustment will be made when you pick up your car.
