With Budget, your Merced car rental is waiting, and it checks all the boxes. Cheap? Check! Dependable? Check! Stylish? Check! A variety of vehicle options, from compact sedans to standard SUVs to full-size sedans and more? Check, check, check! 

Did we mention that we’re conveniently located on West 16th Street, right off US 99? That should probably be another check, since Budget is so easy to get to. We’re also right down the street from the 16th at the T Street bus stop. If you’re in the Merced area, you’ll be able to reach us without difficulty. So rent a pickup truck to haul some furniture or grab an SUV rental for a trip to Applegate Park Zoo. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, Budget has you covered. 

When it’s time to return your rental, you’ve got options. Of course, you can take it back to Budget in Merced, if that’s what works best. But if you’re traveling, you can actually return your vehicle to any Budget across the United States. Just select the appropriate drop-off location when you make your reservation, and you’ll be good to go!
