One-Way Car Rental FAQs
Is it more expensive to rent a car one way?
No, a one-way car rental is not more expensive. You’ll find the best prices every day when booking with Budget, and you’ll save more money the longer your reservation.
Which car rental is best for one way?
The best one-way car rental depends on your needs. Each vehicle class offers its own benefits—for example, an intermediate SUV is ideal for camping, fishing, and other outdoor activities, while a compact car is best for city driving and parking.
