Terrible rental experience. They were asking for passport to rent a car. Who carries a passport to rent a car? Very disappointing. The cost of insurance per day was $35 higher than other car rental companies with identical coverage.

No one joined me to review its condition at the pickup. It had damage all over the exterior. The drop off parking was not indicated by any signage. Very hard to find. The key deposit box was also not indicated by signage. No one available by phone at 9:00 pm. No chat function at 9:00 pm. No directions to drop off parking on website.

Whomever is cleaning the windshields of your pick up trucks is doing a dreadful job. Both rentals I had, rented one week apart, different trucks, neither one could you see out of the windshield SAFELY, especially driving into sunlight and also when nighttime driving due to rhe streaks and dirt still on the glass

They did not have enough staff to clean and prepare vehicle's. I arrived early, but waited in line for an hour before they could help me. Desk staff were pleasant and doing their best, but they had no cars to hand out. They were waiting for a car - any car - to come up on their screens so they could assign it to us. I paid for a luxury passenger car, but ended up in a Chrysler minivan. And this is where it became obvious. When I got upstairs to the rental lot - there were PLENTY of cars. Hundreds. But they had no staff to prepare/clean and turn them over. When I got back the receiving staff were extremely rude. Would not even make eye contact with me. I need receipts for the work I do and politely asked if he would process my return so the receipt could be generated, he just kept saying rudely over and over again "check your email!" But here's the thing - it's been 24 hours now and I still don't have a receipt. Will not rent from them again. Worst rental experience I have ever had

People at budget were friendly, efficient, and made it possible to work within my schedule. I have no problems going back to them again.

Quote I got online was not what I paid, even opting for the additional insurance. There were hidden fees that were not obvious to me. Paid much more than expected. The front seat was stained when we picked it up. Chocolate? I hope that was all it was.
