No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your booking in Morrisville are clearly shown at the time of reservation and in your confirmation email, so you know exactly what you are paying before you arrive at the counter.

On top of that, every Hola Car Rentals booking includes the No Extra Charges© guarantee. This is a pricing guarantee (not insurance) that protects you if the counter in Morrisville charges you for something that was not listed on your confirmation and was not an optional add-on you accepted. If that happens, Hola Car Rentals will work with the hire partner to remove or reimburse the charge after verification.

The only costs outside this guarantee are:

• Optional add-ons you choose at the counter (GPS, child seats, prepaid fuel)

The Budget counter in Morrisville is located inside the consolidated Rental Car Facility at Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU), 1016 Rental Car Dr, Morrisville, NC 27560. All major hire brands, including Budget, share this single facility.

To reach the Budget counter after landing, follow these steps:

• Collect your baggage from the terminal
• Exit and follow signs for hire car shuttles
• Board the free shuttle bus to the Rental Car Facility (the ride typically takes around 5 to 10 minutes)
• Once inside the facility, locate the Budget counter and present your documents

There is no walking route from the terminals to the facility, so the shuttle is the only way to reach the Budget pickup point in Morrisville. Counter hours run from 4:00 AM to 1:00 AM daily, and 24-hour key drop is available for returns outside staffed hours.

To pick up your Budget hire car in Morrisville, you must bring all of the following physical documents to the counter:

• A valid, original driver’s licence in the main driver’s name
• A physical major credit card with the driver’s name printed on it (debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the excess)
• A valid passport or government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight tickets or cruise tickets if you are visiting from abroad

If your driver’s licence is not in English and does not use a Latin (Roman) alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory at the Budget counter in Morrisville. For licences in English or using a Latin alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the Budget counter.

Yes, there are toll roads near Morrisville that Budget renters should plan for before driving in the area.

The main toll road is NC 540, the Triangle Expressway, which runs approximately 19 miles connecting the Raleigh and Durham areas and passes near Morrisville. North Carolina uses fully cashless, all-electronic tolling, meaning there are no toll booths and cash is not accepted anywhere on these roads.

Key facts for Budget renters in Morrisville:

• NC 540 tolls for a standard 2-axle vehicle can reach up to US$3.60 to US$4.19 per section electronically
• Payment is handled via NC Quick Pass, E-ZPass, SunPass, or Peach Pass accounts, or by bill-by-mail invoice sent to the vehicle's registered owner
• NC Quick Pass holders receive a 35% discount off the bill-by-mail rate
• If you do not enrol in a toll programme, the toll agency captures your plate by camera and mails an invoice

Your Budget hire vehicle comes equipped with an electronic toll device. At the counter in Morrisville you can choose an unlimited toll package (typically US$11 to US$25 per day) or pay per use, with actual toll charges plus administrative fees billed to your card after the hire ends.

Yes, all bookings made through Hola Car Rentals, including Budget hires in Morrisville, include Tolls Cashback of up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your hire.

This is especially useful in Morrisville because the nearby NC 540 Triangle Expressway is a fully cashless toll road, meaning toll charges will appear on your hire invoice or transponder statement automatically.

To claim your cashback after returning your Budget hire in Morrisville:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - HOLA followed by your confirmation number
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation, the signed hire agreement, and a toll receipt or itemised invoice showing the charges

Example: if your Budget booking total is US$500, the maximum cashback is US$25. If you paid US$18 in NC 540 tolls, you receive US$18 back. If you paid US$40, you receive the US$25 cap. Refunds are processed to your original payment method within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions beyond 30 days are not accepted.

Yes, a physical major credit card in the main driver’s name is required for the excess when picking up your Budget hire in Morrisville.

The Budget counter at the Morrisville RDU Hire Car Facility will place a temporary authorisation hold on your card at pickup. For standard vehicles in the United States, this hold is typically around US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount depends on the vehicle class and Budget's policies at that location.

Important things to know about the deposit:

• The card must be a major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, etc.) with the driver’s name physically printed on it
• Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual or single-use card numbers are not accepted
• Digital wallets such as Apple Pay or Google Pay are not accepted for the deposit
• The hold reduces your available credit until Budget releases it after the hire ends, which can take up to 15 working days depending on your bank
• Even if you prepaid your booking online, you must still present a physical credit card at the Budget counter in Morrisville

Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined.

Budget hires picked up at the Morrisville RDU Hire Car Facility are subject to several local fees and taxes on top of the base hire rate. These are standard charges for Wake County and the RDU airport location.

Typical fees that apply to Budget hires in Morrisville include:

• Airport Concession Recovery Fee (ACRF): up to 10.5% to 12.5% of the base rate, which is higher than many non-hub airports
• Customer Facility Charge (CFC): approximately US$4.50 to US$5.00 per hire day, which funds the consolidated Rental Car Facility at 1016 Rental Car Dr, Morrisville
• Local option tax: approximately 6% for the Cary and Morrisville area

Combined, these surcharges can add 15% to 20% on top of your base Budget rate. Your booking confirmation will show which fees are included in your prepaid rate and which are due at the counter in Morrisville. If your confirmation states taxes and fees are included, you should not be billed separately for those items at the Budget counter.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Budget hire in Morrisville, but the additional driver must be present at the RDU Hire Car Facility counter at the time of pickup.

For Budget hires in Morrisville, the additional driver fee is US$13 per hire day plus taxes, with a maximum charge of US$65 plus taxes. This fee is waived if your booking confirmation explicitly states that an additional driver is included at no charge.

Requirements for adding an additional driver at the Budget counter in Morrisville:

• The additional driver must be physically present at pickup and show a valid driver’s licence
• For Budget in Morrisville, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old
• If the additional driver’s licence is not in a Latin alphabet, an International Driving Permit is also required
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the hire agreement

Only drivers listed on the Budget hire agreement are covered by the vehicle’s protections. If someone not listed on the contract drives the car in Morrisville, cover may be void and additional charges could apply.

Most Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Budget hires in Morrisville, include travel assistance cover provided by Terrawind Global Protection. However, this benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada.

Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call. Check your booking confirmation for the exact coverage limits and conditions that apply to your Budget hire in Morrisville.

Budget hires in Morrisville follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy by default. This means you receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

Steps to follow for the fuel policy on your Budget hire in Morrisville:

• At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the Budget agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on the hire agreement
• Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the RDU Hire Car Facility at 1016 Rental Car Dr, Morrisville before returning the vehicle
• Keep your fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
• For after-hours returns, leave the receipt in the key drop envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge

If you return the Budget vehicle in Morrisville with less than a full tank, you may be charged for the fuel shortfall at the partner's refuelling rate, which is typically higher than the pump price, plus a refuelling service fee. Using the correct fuel type is also important, as wrong-fuel incidents are not covered by the fuel policy.

Yes, Budget hires in Morrisville apply a young-driver surcharge for renters between the ages of 21 and 24. The standard minimum age to hire without a surcharge is 25.

For Budget in Morrisville, the young-renter fee is US$13 per hire day plus taxes. Certain vehicle classes, including full-size sedans, SUVs, minivans, convertibles, luxury, and premium vehicles, are typically restricted to renters aged 25 and older.

There is one exception worth knowing: if you are a traveller from Latin America or the Caribbean aged 21 to 24, some Hola Car Rentals rates fulfilled by Budget waive the underage fee entirely. To qualify:

• The waiver must be explicitly shown on your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation
• You must present a passport or government ID proving Latin American or Caribbean nationality or residency at the Budget counter in Morrisville
• The vehicle must belong to an eligible category such as economy, compact, medium sedan, standard sedan, compact SUV, or medium SUV

This exception applies only to the main driver. Additional drivers aged 21 to 24 are still subject to the standard underage fee at the Budget counter in Morrisville.

Yes, one-way hires are possible with Budget in Morrisville, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on your return location.

When booking a Budget hire in Morrisville with a different return city, the drop-off fee will be shown on the details page of your selected rate under the section labelled "To pay at destination." This fee is route-specific and varies based on the distance between Morrisville and your return location, the vehicle class, and the season.

General patterns to expect:

• Returning to another location within the same metro area: often no drop-off fee
• Returning to a different city or state: a drop-off fee typically applies
• Cross-country or remote returns: may carry higher fees or may not be permitted

The drop-off fee cannot be prepaid and is not covered by No Extra Charges© unless it was not disclosed on your booking confirmation. If the Budget counter in Morrisville charges a different amount than what your confirmation shows, keep all paperwork and contact support after the hire ends.

Driving your Budget hire around Morrisville requires extra attention due to ongoing road construction projects that create conditions unfamiliar to first-time visitors.

Key areas to watch for:

• Morrisville Parkway is a four-lane divided arterial under active access management work between NC 54 (Chapel Hill Road) and Davis Drive, with frequent lane shifts and signalised intersections prone to congestion
• Carpenter Road features shifting traffic patterns at Town Hall Drive and Franklin Upchurch Sr. Street intersections as part of ongoing widening improvements
• The new NC 540 interchange near Morrisville Parkway adds complexity with roundabouts that convert to signals during widening phases

The NC 540 toll road itself can surprise Budget renters who are not expecting a fully cashless toll expressway. The northbound widening was sequenced first due to fibre optic cable relocation, which means traffic patterns may differ from what navigation apps show.

Practical tips for your Budget hire in Morrisville:

• Allow extra time when driving near Morrisville Parkway and Carpenter Road intersections
• Follow posted lane guidance rather than relying solely on GPS, as construction creates temporary configurations
• Be prepared for the NC 540 toll road to charge your hire vehicle electronically with no option to pay cash

The insurance cover included in your Budget hire in Morrisville depends on the rate plan shown on your booking confirmation. It is important to review your confirmation carefully before arriving at the RDU Hire Car Facility in Morrisville.

Common cover types and what they protect:

• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the Budget hire vehicle itself from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation states zero deductible
• Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to other people or vehicles while driving your Budget hire in Morrisville. Some US states require a minimum level of liability, but not all do

What is not covered by standard CDW or LDW:

• Damage to tyres, wheels, undercarriage, or the roof unless a specific add-on is purchased
• Incidents involving an unauthorised driver not listed on the Budget hire agreement
• Damage resulting from prohibited use such as off-road driving or driving under the influence

At the Budget counter in Morrisville, decline any optional add-ons you do not want and verify that the hire agreement matches your booking confirmation before signing.
