Budget Rental Car Cancellation Policy

Do I Need to Cancel My Rental?

The Budget rental car cancellation policy is designed to give customers the flexibility to cancel their reservation without incurring any charges. If you change your plans and no longer need a rental car, no problem! You can cancel your reservation up to 24 hours before your scheduled pick-up time and you won't be charged a cancellation fee.

If you need to cancel after the 24-hour window has closed, you'll be charged a cancellation fee. This fee will depend on the rental agreement you signed up for. Generally, the fee is $50, but it can be as much as $100 or more depending on the agreement.

How to Cancel Your Rental

Cancelling your rental car reservation is a straightforward process. The easiest way to do it is through the Budget website. Log in to your account and find the reservation you want to cancel. Then, simply click the "Cancel" button and follow the instructions. You'll receive an email confirmation once the cancellation is complete.

If you don't have an online account, you can call Budget customer service to cancel your reservation. The customer service team is available 24/7 and they can quickly cancel your reservation. You'll need to provide some basic information, such as your name, reservation number, and the date and time of your scheduled pick-up.
