The Budget Lost and Found Policy in Short

Budget employees are quite used to finding forgotten items in rental vehicles. If your AirPods fell out of your pocket while you were busy driving, you’ll have the opportunity to retrieve them.

Here’s what you should know about the Budget Rental Car lost and found policy:

• All lost items are delivered to the Budget Lost and Found departments throughout the U.S.
• You can check if your item was recently discovered by reading the list on the Budget Lost Returns page
• Even if you can’t find the item on the list, the Budget Lost and Found department might still have it
• If you don’t collect your belongings within 30 days after the rental, Budget employees will dispose of them accordingly
• You’ll need to provide proof of ownership and some form of ID when coming to claim the item
• The Budget Lost and Found staff might ask you to provide a detailed description of the item before they hand it over

What To Do After Leaving an Item in a Budget Rental Vehicle

If you’ve left your phone, earphones, or wallet in a rental vehicle, you need to reach out to the Budget Lost and Found department. You can start the search for your lost item in two ways:

It’s also possible to inquire about a lost item in person. If you prefer to speak to the Budget Lost and Found staff face-to-face, visit the nearest return location in your area.
