Budget at MCO: rental eligibility evidence
Official selected-offer evidence reviewed—scope is not generalized to every branch offer. This profile separates branch, country, and selected-offer proof from terminal Unknown or Conflict.
Current evidence state
verified
Budget's official MCO pay-later checkout published the tested offer's debit qualifications, return-itinerary condition, authorization amounts, eligible vehicle groups, pickup-card limits, licence requirement, and additional-driver terms. These offer-scoped facts can change with dates, vehicle, rate, or renter details, so the saved capture metadata and review date control.

Eight-field critical evidence record
Every pilot-critical field receives exactly one evidence classification. Country or offer evidence is labelled at that narrower scope; missing local proof stays Unknown, and applicable disagreement stays Conflict.
| Field | State | Scope | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| minimum age | verified | country · Tier B | Budget publishes the U.S. general minimum-age rule and New York/Michigan exceptions; exact location exceptions still control. |
| debit | verified | offer · Tier A | The official MCO pay-later checkout publishes qualifying debit-card requirements for the tested 25+ U.S.-resident offer. Evidence is limited to the captured offer, dates, age band, residency, and vehicle selection recorded in the versioned profile. |
| itinerary | verified | offer · Tier A | The official MCO pay-later checkout requires a return airline ticket that coincides with the rental for debit pickup and separately requests airline/flight details. Evidence is limited to the captured offer, dates, age band, residency, and vehicle selection recorded in the versioned profile. |
| cardholder | verified | offer · Tier A | The official MCO checkout requires the qualifying pickup card to be in the renter's name. Evidence is limited to the captured offer, dates, age band, residency, and vehicle selection recorded in the versioned profile. |
| deposit/hold | verified | offer · Tier A | The official MCO checkout publishes estimated charges plus $200 for one-to-three-day rentals, plus $300 for four-or-more-day rentals, and a $250 prepaid-debit authorization. Evidence is limited to the captured offer, dates, age band, residency, and vehicle selection recorded in the versioned profile. |
| vehicle class | verified | offer · Tier A | The official MCO checkout limits debit pickup to Economy, Compact, Intermediate, Standard, Full-Size, and Standard SUV groups for the tested offer. Evidence is limited to the captured offer, dates, age band, residency, and vehicle selection recorded in the versioned profile. |
| additional driver | verified | offer · Tier A | The official MCO checkout publishes age 25, a $13 daily fee, listed exemptions, and a maximum of two additional drivers. Evidence is limited to the captured offer, dates, age band, residency, and vehicle selection recorded in the versioned profile. |
| license/ID | verified | offer · Tier A | The official MCO checkout requires a valid driver's licence and allows the location to request additional positive identification. Evidence is limited to the captured offer, dates, age band, residency, and vehicle selection recorded in the versioned profile. |
Directly verified coverage and explicit classification coverage are different metrics. Unknown is a completed research classification, not a positive eligibility fact.

Dynamic checkout terms are session-scoped. These parameters and the content hash make the research claim auditable without pretending that one offer applies to every date, vehicle, rate, or renter.

GOAA's FY2024 audited report names the current airport rental-car company; an earlier GOAA concession disclosure maps that company group to the listed brand. This verifies the airport operating entity, not the final counterparty on every rental agreement.
The executed rental agreement may name an affiliate or licensee and remains authoritative for the renter’s contractual counterparty.

Eligibility still depends on age, booking channel, physical card, available funds, rental duration, vehicle, licence documents, additional drivers and planned travel.
