Moving, shifting, loading heavy items is stressful enough, so take your mind off the rental by adding on our coverage options.

What is an excess? Excess is a specified amount that you are liable for (need to pay), should there be loss or damage to the vehicle you have rented.

When you rent with Budget, there are 2 different coverage options available.


All amounts are inclusive of admin fee, credit card surcharge and GST.

Please note all coverage options are subject to the Budget Terms & Conditions. Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), Excess Reduction (ER) do not cover certain types of loss or damage including, overhead, underbody, and water damage.

Corporate Customers: If you’re on a contracted or corporate rate, your excess amounts may vary. Please refer to your agreement for full details.
