Top tips for renting a car from Budget in Fresno

  • When you book Budget hire cars in Fresno, you have a wide choice of cars available to you depending on what sort of trip you are planning. Budget is known to have a wide fleet of cars and is constantly updating their range with new models. Why not hire a van and explore the greater Yosemite Park or Kings Canyon National Park areas? This way the whole family can travel together in style. As Fresno is so close to a wide array of different attractions and in the middle of the California Valleys, you can either choose a compact car for inner city exploring or longer trips to San Francisco or LA. No matter what your trip is like, Budget has the car for you.
  • There are 3 different pick-up locations when you book Budget hire cars in Fresno. The most convenient pick-up spot if you’re flying into the Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT) is at the airport counters inside the main terminals and a short walk to the car pick-up lots. The airport is found at 5175 E Clinton Way and they stay open until 11 pm, but they do have a keybox for you to drop your keys if you have a later flight. This isn’t always ideal as it is good to drop off the car yourself to check all is intact.
  • A central location pick up when you book Budget hire cars in Fresno would be the downtown Budget, 2110 Ventura Street. This pick-up location is very convenient as it is located right in the middle of a bustling city and close to the Yosemite Freeway. Here you can choose from a wide array of attractions, restaurants and local parks before you set out further out of the city. Keep in mind that this office opens at 8:00 and closes everyday at 5:00 pm so you would need to make sure you drop off the car within these hours.
  • When deciding on what to choose when you book Budget hire cars in Fresno, take into account the fact that you might want to head out of the city for a camping trip and you are spoilt for choice in this location. Budget have a superior range of mid size pick up trucks and 4x4 type cars to suit all sorts of terrain.

Staff were great. Car was difficult to find at pickup because it was parked in Avis row, and not clearly marked that they share space. Also, when I returned car a full day early I was not credited money back.Reviewed 2024 Oct 16

I reserved an electric vehicle, but one were available at pick up, so they upgraded me to a premium SUV. The car was comfortable, but the cost of gas was way higher than I intended to spend. It would have been nice if Budget was more prepared to fulfill the reservation.Reviewed 2024 Sept 16
