Location Information

Picking up a rental car from Budget at Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) is the best way to start out your Southern travels. A Budget car rental at RDU puts you in prime position to explore North Carolina at your leisure—taking the extra stress out of your stay, whether you’re here for business or pleasure.

Where is Budget Car Rental at RDU?

From the baggage claim area, head outside and find the green Rental Car Shuttle Stop area marked by signs, and wait for the car rental shuttle. Once you arrive at the Raleigh-Durham Airport car rental site you can secure a car rental at the Budget reservation counter or located your reserved vehicle.

RDU Rental Car Return

RDU rental car return is located at 1000 Rental Car Drive, Morrisville, NC, on the airport campus. This is the same destination for airport car rental pick up. Once your car rental has been returned, our shuttle will take you to the airport for your flight. After-hour returns are not available, but we’re open from 4 AM to 1 AM daily.

To rent a car from Budget at Raleigh-Durham airport, renters must be at least 21. Renters under the age of 25, however, are subject to a daily $27 underage surcharge and are restricted from renting certain types of vehicles.

What is the best type of car to rent in Raleigh?

As the capital of North Carolina, Raleigh is an important city for the state. If you’re in town to meet with a state senator or someone from the governor’s office, consider a luxury car rental to make a solid first impression. A minivan or passenger van rental might be better for a family vacation to the area’s many attractions. Whatever your needs may be, we have a car rental you’ll enjoy at Budget Rent a Car.

Van Rental

Both passenger van rental and minivan rental options are available with Budget. Rent a Honda Odyssey to take your family to Umstead State Park, or use a 12 or 15 passenger van to keep school groups together.

SUV Rental

The south is full of beautiful outdoor adventures just waiting for you to find them—and an SUV rental from Budget can help you get out there. Take your SUV car rental to Lake Crabtree County Park or Hemlock Bluffs Nature Preserve.

Long-Term Car Rental

If southern hospitality keeps you content in North Carolina, opt for a monthly car rental. Monthly or long-term car rentals through Budget are the most affordable extended rental option and give you all the time you need to explore Morrisville, Raleigh, and Durham.

Luxury Car Rental

Take your convertible car rental and head down to Chatham Hill Winery or Brier Creek Country Club for a classic Southern experience. Budget Raleigh-Durham Airport car rental options include several luxury car rentals, but make sure to reserve yours today.
