Top tips for hiring a car from Budget in Nashville

  • When you book Budget car rentals in Nashville, you’ll find that there are a few different car models that can come in handy for the location. For example, if you will be traveling with a larger group, or you plan on going on longer drives or a road trip, you may prefer to have the additional space that an SUV or van can provide. For those visitors that plan on primarily staying in the city center, an economy model can be useful, as it makes it easy to drive in traffic and park in smaller spaces.
  • Those that book Budget car rentals in Nashville can always benefit from the company’s Extended Roadside Assistance program. By paying a small additional fee, you can add this program to your reservation and you will be covered for certain things that standard coverage may not pay for, such as receiving a replacement key for the vehicle or having a flat tire changed.

Students between the ages of 21 and 24 can even benefit from certain discounts throughout the year.
  • Renters that are planning on going on a long road trip and are interested in crossing the border to either Canada or Mexico are in luck. When you rent with Budget, you have the right to drive your vehicle internationally, as long as you return it in the United States. To do this, you will want to make sure that you alert your rental branch before you pick up your vehicle, as they will most likely need to prepare additional paperwork. Customers typically will need to pay for additional coverage as well.

FAQs about hiring a car from Budget in Nashville

  • Where are the best pick-up locations for Budget car rentals in Nashville?

For example, the branch at Nashville International Airport (BNA) is a good choice if you will be flying into the city.

There is also a branch on Church Street, which is another convenient choice as it is so centrally located in the city.

  • Am I able to pick my own Budget car rentals in Nashville, or will I be assigned a vehicle by the company?

    When you first make your reservation through Budget, you will be prompted to select the exact car model that you would like to receive. Budget will do its best to provide you with this car model, but it will depend on what the branch you are renting from has available in its fleet at the time. If they are unable to give you the model that you have requested, they will provide you with a different model that is comparable. Keep in mind that the model that you receive may not be from the same auto manufacturer that you had initially requested.

The rental agent was amazing and when I asked about an upgrade to what they were offering me she was able to find what we required immediately. However the vehicles cleanliness was not good. Not her fault but the expedition had not been cleaned inside or out. There was still garbage scattered through the truck. Nothing yucky but just someone else’s mess. Easy peasy pick up and drop off and agent was super nice and friendly.Reviewed 31 May 2025

Your website would not distinguish between a 1 Way Rental, and a Return Rental. Why wouldn't your website just STATE THAT THEY DON'T HAVE 1 WAY RENTALS... Instead of reverting back to a Return Rental ? I had to pay a Lyft driver $50, then had to pay your competitor TWICE what I had confirmed on your website. SO, DO YOU THINK I'LL EVER USE YOUR SITE AGAIN ???Reviewed 17 Apr 2025

The staff was helpful and pick up/drop off was easy. However, we reserved a small car and ended up with an extra cab pick up truck. I would have much preferred the vehicle I reserved. I do not usually drive a truck and navigating a large vehicle in a new city was not pleasant.Reviewed 10 Oct 2024

Never got to use rental car. The worst experience I have ever had with a rental car company. Waited in line for over 2 hours and would have been another 2 hours to get near the front. I am 8 months pregnant and can’t wait in line for 4 hours. Avis and other companies under the same umbrella had NO line but refused to help despite my pleas. They wouldn’t even let me cancel my reservation and make a new one. Had to go to a competing company (Dollar) and rent a second car. Dollar took care of me in 10 minutes.Reviewed 10 Oct 2024

I like the price; however, when we went to the checkin counter, we found the service to be very slow. There were only two employees to handle a line up of customers so we waited in line longer than we would have liked. When we actually made it to the front of the line, the agent did a great job.Reviewed 23 Sept 2024

Given an electric car when I didn’t reserve it, I don’t have three hours to fully charge a car, was up charged, then over charged for a gas car.Reviewed 13 Aug 2024
