FAQs about hiring a car from Budget in Queenstown

  • Which Budget offices should I be using in Queenstown?

    There are two well-placed Budget offices available in the city, and the one you choose to use will depend on how you arrive in Queenstown. If you're flying in, Queenstown Airport is the ideal location. It's important to book online to avoid the extra fees you'll pay in person. The second option is located close to the heart of the city, at 68 - 70 Stanley Street.

The overall experience is excellent. Just that the drop off instruction was misleading, the link to map led to a different location.Reviewed 21 Jan 2026

Cancelled my rental car unintentionally and they wouldn’t give it back to me. Ended up having to go with another option that cost $1000 additional.Reviewed 1 Mar 2025

Easy booking, pick-up and drop off. Car was clean in good condition.Reviewed 23 Apr 2024

There was three people working but only one person manning a computer. Check-in per person takes about 20 minutes and there's lots of printing and signing paperwork. The car smelled like gasoline had been spilled in it, the infant car seat was broken and unable to be tightened and they were unable to provide a replacement! The second car in the party was not even available as they run on a thin margin of car availability and it hadn't been returned. When it was returned it had no gas (on empty with notification lights) and they refused to gas it. This car had about 60k miles on it and was in poor condition. Third rental car in the group battery died and had to be jumped to get back to the airport. Yay!Reviewed 27 Feb 2024
