The Best Budget BCD Codes & Coupons for Car Rental Savings!

Budget discounts are usually driven by one of two fields during checkout: a BCD code (Budget Customer Discount) and a coupon code. The mistake most people make is entering the right code in the wrong box—or expecting coupon savings to show up online.

This guide covers what BCD codes are, where to enter them, how stacking works, and how to confirm you’re actually getting the best total price.

What is a Budget BCD Code?

A Budget BCD code is a Budget Customer Discount number that can modify your rental rate when booking on Budget.com. Understanding how Budget’s discount system works is critical because it operates differently than other rental companies.

BCD CODES (Budget Customer Discount):

• Apply immediately to your online quote
• You see the discounted rate before booking
• Savings are reflected in your total price
• Goes in the “BCD Number” or “Offer Code” field

• milepro Readers have a special BCD Code to save up to 25% – BCD D822120

How to choose the best Budget discount (the 60-second method)

Do not assume the biggest advertised percentage wins. The only reliable approach is a quick comparison:

1. Price your rental with no codes (baseline).
2. Apply one BCD at a time and compare the final total.
3. Add a coupon code (if you have one) and treat it as a bonus benefit—then confirm you meet the coupon’s terms.
4. If two totals are close, choose the option with the most flexible cancellation and the cleanest eligibility.

Tip: rates move. If you book far in advance, re-check prices a week before pickup.

How to apply a Budget BCD code or Budget Coupon Code?

Budget uses two separate boxes—one for a BCD and one for a coupon—so you can often stack them.

One important nuance: Budget coupon benefits are commonly applied at pickup if you meet the terms, and they may not show up in your online total. So when you stack a coupon, think of it as an extra benefit you’ll receive if the agent validates it at the counter.

Budget BCD Codes

Here’s a list of the current Budget Coupon Codes and BCD Codes. The first one on the list is exclusively for Milepro readers and provides up to 35% off prepay rates and up to 25% off pay-later rates using the Budget BCD Code D822120.

Personally, I prefer to take a slightly lower discount and not have to prepay for the car (unless your reservation will be in the next week or so and you are certain it won’t change).

How to Stack Budget Coupons and BCD Codes

Coupon codes can often be “stacked” with BCD codes to give you an even better deal. My recommendation is to “stack” the milepro BCD code with the Free Car Upgrade code. Just click on the milepro BCD link (which will pre-populate the BCD code field) and enter the coupon code for the free upgrade (UUWZ042) in the “Coupon” Box.

As you can see from the sample reservation screenshot below, you’ll be shown a list of car types that offer the discount for the BCD code and are eligible for a free upgrade. You’ll also be given the choice to pay later or pay now for further savings.
