Top tips for hiring a car from Budget at Southampton Eastleigh Airport

  • Southampton is a popular city in the U.K. with a great transport network. However, sometimes you’ll need to change from trains to buses to get to your final destination. If you get a Budget car hire at Southampton Airport (SOU) you’ll have more flexibility compared to if you travelled using another mode of transport. For instance, if you go to Nursling by car from the terminal it would take about 12min via the M27. Whereas the same journey using public transport would take about 40min and require a change from a train to a bus.
  • Southampton Airport is around 3.5 miles from the city centre. You can find a Budget branch on the Spitfire Loop outside the terminal. To get to the office from the airport you should exit the Arrivals hall and cross the road using the pedestrian crossings. You will then find the Budget branch to your left. To hire a car in the U.K., you need to be a minimum of 21 years old and have had your licence for at least one year. Those that are under 25 will also have to pay a surcharge.
  • It’s important that you abide by the rules of the road when you’re travelling in your Budget car hire from Southampton Airport. For instance you must make sure everyone is wearing their seat belt. Children that are smaller than 135 cm, or younger than 12, also need to be in a suitable child restraint.

Drink driving is taken incredibly seriously and anyone found to be over the limit of alcohol blood content will be prosecuted accordingly.
