Top tips for hiring a car from Budget at Los Angeles Airport

  • Budget car hire at Los Angeles Airport is one of the many transfer options from the airport to the city centre, which is approximately 20 miles away. With a rental car, you can bring along your pet and as much luggage as you need for your vacation. Privacy is another benefit you will enjoy with a car hire compared to using public transport. A Budget car hire will get you the benefit of setting up your programme; hence you will be able to explore as many attractions as you can. You can start with Disneyland Park, Six Flags Magic Mountain or Adventure City for a vacation with kids or Griffith Park and Runyon Canyon Park for several outdoor activities, including hiking.
  • By booking Budget car hire at Los Angeles Airport, you will choose from various car models, including luxury and economy cars and SUVs. Consider the premium or luxury cars when you have company to impress. Compact cars are a perfect choice if you wish to drive in the city or for long distances since the cars are easy to drive and small in size; hence easy to control in narrow and congested motorways. There are several people carrier models you can consider if travelling as a group of more than five and the SUVs if travelling as a group of up to five individuals.
  • Once you book Los Angeles Airport Budget car hire, you will have several insurance covers to consider, including Personal Accident and Effect (PAE), Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) and Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI). The PAE covers the vehicle occupant against injury, loss of property and accident, while the LDW reduces your financial liability in the event of an accident or damage to the car.

Be careful when renting from Budget in LA. These guys add a “fuel option” to your bill — they say it will not be charged unless you return it with the fuel tank empty. This is NOT TRUE. If you bring it back full, they will still charge you the $100+ for the fuel option unless you physically go to the office to dispute the charge. The guy at the counter even told me that this is a way the guys at the counter “try to make more money” — so be aware.Reviewed 15 Sept 2025

Extremely long wait to pick up rental car!! It took about an hour and a half. Also saw a representative secretly taking random people in line to give them their rental car while everyone else waited. Absolute waste of time! Never expected this from an agency like Budget!Reviewed 1 Sept 2025

Went to counter. Paid for a car, went to lot to spot where the cas should have Bennett’s and nothing, empty spot. Took attendant almost 2 hours to find me a car. Brought me a car and said here’s your car, loaded car and then said oh, it’s not your car. Remove your stuff. Wait another hour. Worst experience renting a carReviewed 7 Aug 2025

They did not provide the vehicle I reserved. They didn't even provide a similar/upgraded vehicle. They gave me the rental 45 minutes late even though I was on time. I had to call their customer support to be reimbursed the difference I was owed. It took 2 hours of my life away and I caught them in several lies in the process, I will not do business with Budget Car rentals or their affiliates (Avis and Payless) in the foreseeable future.Reviewed 19 July 2025

At the new LAX rental depot, we waited in line for 2 full hours. They had 25 kiosks/stations for registration, but only 6-7 agents working them. Then, our car (Buick Encore with 20K miles) completely shut down as we drove off the lot. No power or electricity. Never experienced this before… Had to get a tow and a replacement which took another hour. Staff were helpful and kind but clearly understaffed and overworked. They eventually got us into a brand new car on the second try. Return went smoothly.Reviewed 24 June 2025

Budget was great. There was a problem with the car they initially assigned, but they promptly reassigned us a different car. Drop off was super easy and so really appreciate that as the last time I rented from a different company (also through Kayak) the experience was horrible, especially drop off. Based on that last experience I was a little nervous about another rental, but Budget was great! Will definitely use Budget againReviewed 24 Feb 2025
