How It Works

Sign Up

Click here to sign up for Betterway Rewards. If you visit one of our Budget locations before you’ve had a chance to create your account, you can also ask one of our team members to help you get started. Whichever way you sign up, it’ll only take a few minutes.

Book a Qualified Rental

Use your local Budget website or visit a location near you to book a rental that qualifies for the Betterway Rewards loyalty program and to get the best rates. 

Collect Points

Every dollar spent on a qualified rental will turn into points that you can see at a glance on your Betterway Rewards dashboard and exchange for certificates. You will earn one point for every dollar that you spend. Points will be added to your dashboard within 7-10 days of returning your rental.

Earn points for the dollars you spend on rental time, mileage, coverages, accessories, and gas (taxes, government fees, expense recovery charges, airport fees and parking are not eligible).

Exchange Points for Certificates

Turn your points into certificates that save you money on future rentals or for parking at our Omaha Airport and Birmingham Airport facilities. Preferred members can exchange points for certificates at 12 points per $1, while Gold members will be able to exchange points for certificates at 10 points per $1. A maximum of 5 certificates may be applied on a future rental.

Upgrade Your Membership

Once you’ve spent $2,000 on qualified rentals, your account will automatically be upgraded from Preferred to Gold status for the rest of the current year and all of the following year. Track your progress toward Gold status on your dashboard.
