Deposit and Credit card Information:

A deposit amount £200 + rental price + optional extras will be held on the main driver’s credit card for the duration of the rental. The deposit will be automatically released if there is no theft or damage during the rental period. In case of theft or damage to the rental vehicle, you will be liable for up to the excess amount and the standard vehicle insurance policy will cover the rest. If you have purchased insurance from a third party an excess will still be required by Budget. The main driver must have one of the following valid credit cards under his name: Visa, MasterCard, Diner's Club and American Express. PIN number will be required. No other form of payment will be accepted. 2 different credit cards are required for car groups Van, Full Size, Estate, Luxury and Premium. Visa Debit will be accepted (numbers must be embossed), except for car groups Van, Full Size, Estate and Premium. In the event that you fail to present a valid credit card or lack of sufficient funds available on the credit card to cover the excess, the car rental agent may refuse to release the vehicle. In these instances, no funds paid will be reimbursed.
