The rollout began at the beginning of April with the opening of Budget’s Liverpool John Lennon Airport station and a further five are set to open by the end of the month in Exeter, Bristol, Newcastle, East Midlands and London City.

Commenting on Budget’s expansion plans, spokesperson Stuart Liddle said: 'This is an exciting time for the Budget brand, as we begin a significant rollout of our operations in the UK. Our customers, both SMEs and consumers, come to us for our fantastic value proposition and with more car hire locations, we can offer them a truly accessible gateway to Britain.'

Budget says that the locations included in its rollout plan are spread across the length of the country, and brings its total number of sites to 60 stations in the UK and 3,400 stations worldwide.
