Pick-up Service Available
To use our free pick-up service, call your Budget rental location directly at the location phone number listed on your reservation confirmation. Pick-up service policies (hours of availability, allowable pick-up distance, etc.) vary by location so it's important that you call the location and make arrangements for pick-up at least 24 hours before your desired rental time. When you call the location, be ready to provide all applicable information including precise address, exact time of pick up, and a phone number where you can be reached at that time.
Please note that an off-airport Budget location cannot pick you up at an airport that has a Budget location. In this case, either you must rent your car at the airport location, or provide your own transportation to the off-airport location where you prefer to rent

It’s not as scary as you sound once you get used to them. Unless sign posted otherwise central roads are usually around 40km per hour – so please check signage.

Catch an old movie at the Astor Theatre
Melbourne’s Astor Theatre has a history reaching back to the 1930s. It still retains much of its Art Deco charm, making it a wonderful architectural feat. Although you can watch modern films there, choosing an old movie will leave you feeling as though you’re stepping back in time.
