Top tips for renting a car from Budget in Brisbane

  • If you're visiting with young kids and want to book Budget car hire in Brisbane, you'll need to get child seats. These are available as bookable extras. Australian law requires that infants up to six months old must be in a rear-facing child seat. Those between six months and four years old can use a forward-facing seat with a built-in harness. Those from four to seven must travel in a booster seat. Children over seven can use a normal seat-belt as long as they are tall enough.
  • You'll have to be at least 21 years old to book Budget car hire in Brisbane. You'll also need a clean, current driver's licence, which you must have held for at least 12 consecutive months. Check with the Brisbane Budget branch you choose whether a young driver surcharge applies – this may be charged if you're under 25 and renting a higher-end vehicle. Certain models like luxury and performance cars are restricted to those 25 and over. Make sure to check these exact models to which this applies at the branch you choose.
  • If you join the free Fastbreak programme, you can get faster, hassle-free service when booking Budget car hire in Brisbane. This will speed up the reservation process, and you'll enjoy expedited collection at all Brisbane branches. You just need to show you driver's licence and you can pick up your keys and drive off. Returns are more efficient too. You can drop off the keys at a Fastbreak counter or drop box any time, day or night, in addition to Budget's after-hours return locations.
  • You can add some useful extras at reasonable costs when hiring a car from Budget in Brisbane. If you don't want to do all the driving yourself, for instance, you can nominate an extra driver.
