Budget, at Frankfurt Airport, is open every day of the week, and is operated by the help of Avis. All vehicles hired from this location should be collected from the Avis rental counters. While customers can hire a vehicle directly from the rental counters, it is often recommended to make an advanced reservation from Budget’s website, at www.budget.com. This will ensure that your ideal vehicle is ready and waiting for your arrival in Frankfurt, and that you will receive any extra equipment necessary for your journey, such as a child safety seat or satellite navigation system. A safety seat is an imperative part of traveling for parents with young children, and a satellite navigation system can make driving a pleasure. With the quality GPS units available from the car hire companies you will never have trouble finding your next destination, and can also use the pre-programmed points of interest to find nearby gas stations, hotels, restaurants, shopping centers, pharmacies, tourist attractions, golf courses and other similar locations.

It also has plenty of information about the procedures and policies which need to be followed when renting from Budget.
The primary renter at Budget must have a valid drivers license which has been held in his/her country of residence for at least one year prior to the rental period. Drivers who do not reside in the European Union may also be required to have an International Driving Permit. Younger drivers under the age of 25 may pay a higher rental rate, in the form of a Young Driver Fee, which is a rate applicable per day of rental, and per underage driver, up until a maximum of ten rental days. Younger individuals may also not be able to hire certain larger or specialty type vehicles. A major credit card must be held in the name of the primary renter in order to pay for the Budget rental. Budget accepts the cards of American Express, Diners Club, Mastercard and Visa, as well as Budget Charge Cards. For the car group of ‘J’ two major credit cards are required. An extra amount is charged for additional drivers, and additional drivers should also meet the same requirements as the primary renter.
