Frequently asked questions

How do I get a Mexico City Budget rental car at a great price?

We try to get you the best price, whether you reserve your vehicle. However, getting your car ahead of time can help keep spending low. Make sure to not add an additional driver and read the mileage policy to avoid any unexpected fees.

Do I need to bring anything special when I get my car rental in Mexico City?

Be sure to bring your driver's permit and a credit card in your name.

What's Mexico City's minimum age to rent a car?

Budget's minimum age to rent a car in Mexico City is 21. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles (luxury, SUVs, etc.), may have an additional fee if you are under 25. Make sure to review Budget's policy to know what the total cost is before you book.

What kind of Budget rental car should I get for my trip to Mexico City?

That all depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Mexico City. Compact or economy vehicles are good for short commutes and are easier to park. If you are traveling with colleagues or family, then a SUV or mid-size vehicle is going to have more room for everyone's suitcases and provide a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a little extravagance on their Mexico City vacation can choose a higher-end category like a Cadillac or Audi or similar.

Does Mexico require car insurance?

In Mexico you do need to have insurance before you rent a car from Budget. You may also purchase additional insurance through Budget, if you know your insurance won't cover you while traveling through Mexico. Although many of the major card issuers, like MasterCard or Visa, give some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For instance, you may not be covered if you book a larger or luxury vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can add on Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

Does Budget require a deposit at the time of booking my rental car?

Budget does require a deposit when you reserve your rental. Budget will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your vehicle for your trip. Please note that the deposit can vary greatly based on the make and model of the rental.

What is the fuel policy on my Budget car rental?

We encourage a full to full policy. You receive the vehicle with full tank, and you should bring it back it topped off. If you want to save some money, it is best to find a gas station before you return the car to Budget. Stations close to airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

Mexico City definitely has its charms, but you may want to hit the road after you've checked off all the activities here.

Does Mexico City Budget offer one-way car rentals?

Budget offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it more convenient to return your rental at a different location. Don't forget there may be an additional fee when you opt for one-way.
