Just reserved at Budget- what now?

[jenfur]

I have never rented a car before, but we need a minivan for our trip in Dec. I reserved one for 10 days at Budget online. The total was $477 (which was the lowest for all of the sites I tried) and now I have a reservation, but I was not asked for a deposit. So will they actually have a minivan when I go to pick it up or will it be like a Seinfeld and my ressie mean nothing?

No deposits are needed when you rent a car. But car rental places also overbook so if you are going at a busy time they might be out of cars and you have to wait or switch car classes.
