Rental Car Protection Plans Rental Car Protection Plans
When you’re travelling sometimes accidents happen and things don’t go to plan. To ensure your rental is worry free and a smooth one, Budget has a range of coverages to keep you on your way.
Standard Cover:
When you rent a Budget vehicle in Australia, Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) is included at no extra cost. If the hire vehicle is lost, stolen or damaged LDW reduces the liability payable from the full cost of the vehicle to the standard excess outlined in the below table.
Optional Coverages
Budget Australia customers have two levels of optional cover to reduce the financial liability if the vehicle is involved in an accident; the vehicle is lost, stolen or damaged.
If you choose to take one of our coverage options mentioned below, you must add these prior to your reservation commencing.
Excess Reduction (ER)
Travel worry free when you add Excess Reduction (ER) to your booking. This reduces the renter’s liability from the standard excess to a reduced amount as seen in the table below. Save time and add Excess Reduction when you book online or via the app today! Excess Reduction is capped at 10 days per 30 day rental. The cost of ER depends on your car:
