How to find Budget at Roanoke Airport
Picking up your Budget car rental at Roanoke Airport can happen a few different ways. Collection may be on-site at the airport, through a staff meet-up on arrival, or by bus to the rental area. Use the 'Pickup' filter during your search to discover the available options at the airport.
Airport terminal: Counters are inside or near the arrival terminal, so you can skip an extra transfer. Land, grab your bags and drive off.
Free shuttle bus: The rental office is near the airport rather than at the terminal. A free shuttle will take you there.
Meet and greet: Shortly after you land, staff will meet you at the terminal. They'll hand over the paperwork and keys before leading you to your car.
Want to avoid waiting in line at the rental counter? Some providers offer self-service pickup, where you collect your keys from a lockbox or kiosk instead of a desk. No queuing for keys, no paperwork in person, just more time driving.
Budget car rental at Roanoke Airport: What you need to know
Transmission: Choose between 'Automatic' (no gear changes to worry about) and 'Manual' (stick shift). Most providers include both, so use the 'Transmission' filter to find your preference.
Fuel policy: Avoid unnecessary costs by choosing a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You pick up the car full and bring it back full, paying only for the fuel you use.
Mileage limits: Select 'Unlimited mileage' under the 'Policies' filter to roam wherever the road takes you without added mileage charges.
Age requirements: You typically have to be at least 21 years old to rent a vehicle in the United States. Being younger isn't always a deal-breaker — just expect some added charges or limits. Check the suppliers' terms and conditions before booking.
Side of the road: Traffic in the United States keeps to the right side of the road.
Speed limits: Local speed limits may vary, but it's typically around 40kph in urban areas and 110kph or so on highways. Always go with what's posted on the road signs.
Required documents: As a general rule, bring your physical driver's licence and additional photo ID when collecting your Budget car rental. Your booking will lay out the exact list.
Deposits and credit card: A security deposit is usually handled as a pre-authorised hold on your credit card. Debit cards are generally not accepted at pickup, so come with a credit card to avoid any hassles.
Insurance: Car rental excess insurance isn't a necessity, but it can save you from paying a big excess fee. Compare cover levels before booking.
Add ons: A navigation system, child seats and additional drivers can all be added while booking your Budget car rental. Sort these ahead of time for a smoother pickup.
