Top tips for hiring a car from Budget at Houston Hobby Airport

  • One o the primary reasons to book car rentals at Houston Hobby Airport is its convenience.  Car rentals are far more convenient than public transport.  This is because they offer door-to-door transport, unlike public transport, which leaves you at a designated station.  You won’t have to worry about commuting from the arrival station to the airport.  If you book Budget car rentals at Houston Hobby Airport, you get the freedom to explore the city’s top attractions like Houston Zoo, Space Center Houston, and Museum of Fine Arts Houston.  When renting Houston Hobby Airport Budget car rentals, you explore the city in style and comfort.
  • The Budget car rental counter at Houston Hobby Airport is a busy facility. You might find long queues depending on when you arrive or the day of the week.  However, if you book Budget car rentals at Houston Hobby Airport through KAYAK, you can save a lot of time. This would be time spent choosing the right car for you, completing the paperwork, and signing the rental agreement. If you book online, you only present the rental agreement, get the car keys, and drive to your destination. Booking via KAYAK can help you get better deals and get the add-on features you need.
  • When returning Budget car rentals at the airport, drive back to the facility. However, you can request to drop off the car rental at a different location for additional fees. If unsure about the place, enter the address 7714 Airport Boulevard, Houston, TX 77061 into your GPS. Once you get to the facility, park the car, lock the vehicle, and submit the agreement with the car keys. Remember to take out all your items from the car rental. The airport also offers after-hour services for dropping off the car rental at your pace. Once you get to the airport, leave the contract and the keys at the dropbox.
  • Even though Budget car rentals offers after-hour services, this may have a downside. The Budget car rental agreement holds you responsible for the car until the staff conducts its formal check. If the vehicle gets into an accident or gets a scratch on the window between the drop-off and the legal review, you will pay for the damages. Therefore, consider dropping off the car rental during operational hours to avoid inconveniences.
  • Book your hire car at Houston Hobby Airport from Budget at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

I chose a supplier choice vehicle for a 300 mile one way . When I got there they advised me my ONLY choice would be an electric vehicle . I let them k ow that I’m not comfortable with an electric vehicle nor do I have time to recharge it or the know how . They offered me the cheapest car in America for an upgrade fee.Reviewed 18 Oct 2024

I was charged for an upgrade that I didn’t request and the vehicle was very underwhelming. The interior was dirty and the outside of the vehicle was riddled with scratches.Reviewed 17 Jul 2024

When booking with Kayak.. I got a good rate at 400. avg.. When I arrived to Budget.. It doubled the amount. SO no. I would not be using Kayak for future car rentals. Also, budget doesn't use 3rd party insurance. It's either yours or theirs (Budget)Reviewed 18 Jun 2024

The gas amount I was told was in the car at pickup was not correct. I had to return the car with more gas than was in it when I picked it up.Reviewed 4 Apr 2024

What's the point selecting a car category if every time I get told "this is what we have, take it or leave it"? You've got me by the short and curlys, because I'm not exactly about to switch to taking the bus, am I? The check in was slap dash. The car looked a bit rough. I had to go find someone to record the damage to it so as to not risk being told I'd caused it. Car rental isn't some new business. We've had decades of doing this, so why did I have to advocate so hard for myself? The customer experience was completely lacking. Probably because consolidation has resulted in so few companies and therefore not much competition.Reviewed 1 Mar 2024

We were given the oldest most beat up van on the lot even though newer better looking ones were available. The van was dirty and had trash inside. The van needed an alignment. Every time you press the brakes the van would shake terribly.Reviewed 22 Jan 2024
