• What rules do renters observe at Budget car rental pickup locations?

  Each rental location in Lisbon has some requirements that all renters must fulfill. Make sure that the name you used while booking matches what's on your ID, credit card, and driver's license. Inconsistency in your identity is considered a non-permissible change to your prepaid booking. You will be asked to cancel and rebook with matching credentials, and the prevailing rates (in addition to a cancellation fee) will apply.

• Will the Budget car rental agency assume responsibility for damages or loss of their rental car?

  The company can only take responsibility when you purchase a Damage Waiver (DW) at an extra cost. It is neither an insurance policy nor a mandatory requirement for renting a vehicle in Lisbon. Read the rental agreement carefully because some actions may invalidate your DW. The amount needed for a DW differs with the vehicle type and location. Find the exact price by making a reservation through KAYAK. Budget Rent a Car will cover the amount stipulated in the contract if a car is stolen or damaged as long as you operate the car according to the agreement. Still, you'll be responsible for the excess amount incurred. In the absence of a Damage Waiver, you will be liable for the entire loss or damage to the vehicle.

It is a gimmick when you rent a car from Budget, through a 3rd party (Kayak) and you purchase insurance but are then told by Budget that it really doesn't exist through a 3rd party and would need to pay Budget upfront for any damage, then issuing the claim to the insurance you did purchase, for reimbursement. If you purchase insurance you should have non-complicated insurance for your rental. I then had to purchase insurance with Budget again in order to not have difficulties should a problem arise. Also, NOTHING IN THE INFORMATION informed that my passport was needed for the rental. The information specifically said, Driver's License & the Credit Card used to rent the car. I was again told by the Budget agent, that is a 3rd party issue about the information given. Wait times at the counter were too long, as well.Reviewed 7 Apr 2026

The car class we reserved was “unavailable” and we were forced to upgrade to a car that resulted in us paying more than double for the rental. I am very disappointed that instead of enjoying activities and meals, we had to blow our budget on a car from Budget. I don’t know how to avoid this or what we did wrong but a $900 surprise is not a nice way to start off a vacation. The car itself was great, and their service was otherwise great but this is a common occurrence which in my view can be avoided. If the company doesn’t have the class we reserved, they should give us the upgrade at no cost as it isn’t the customer’s fault the car they reserved months in advance isn’t there when they arrive.Reviewed 20 Jul 2025

Normally the car has a CDW. So we didn't check it this time. This time the car was not insured at all. That was an unpleasant surprise.Reviewed 4 Jul 2025

The pick up was the worst experience in all years that I rent cars in so many different countries, including Portugal. There was another attendant that was extremely rude to me as well as to a couple that was there facing some problems. He shouted to me and after did not answer my question. Very rude person. The young guy that was attending me was very polite but he was lost in the procedures... it took him over 30min to finalize the process, he also gave me wrong information that I just found out when I returned the car. Very bad experince!Reviewed 25 Jun 2025
